The Empress Won't Marry in This Palace Intrigue Novel

After transmigrating, Su Yunyi finds herself in a palace-intrigue novel as a jealous and spiteful empress.

Because she has been unable to give birth to a legitimate son, the original owner drugged everyone in the imperial harem to make them infertile. To put an end to the matter once and for all, she even had the emperor castrated.

When the truth came out, the empress was deposed, her family was implicated, and she met a tragic end.

Fortunately, Su Yunyi transmigrates to the empress's youth. The emperor is still only the crown prince, and she is still an unmarried young woman. There is still time to change everything.

The imperial harem is terrifying. Su Yunyi decides to stay away from the male lead and firmly refuses to become that wretched empress.

On the way back to the capital, she saves a handsome young swordsman. Su Yunyi decides to find herself a husband and marry before she ever meets that villainous emperor.

Who knew she would be coldly rejected? "I come from humble origins and am adrift like duckweed. I truly am not worthy of a young lady like you."

The thing Duan Qingwei regretted most in his previous life was marrying Su Yunyi. As a result, he was given a potion that made him unable to have heirs, leaving the empire without anyone to succeed him.

Who could have expected that after being reborn, back when he was still crown prince, he would be saved by the empress of his youth?

He did not want to reveal his identity, much less have the empress latch onto him, so he claimed to be no more than a swordsman.

What he did not expect was that the empress did not care about his origins at all. She stared straight at his face. "A life-saving favor should be repaid with your hand in marriage. You have nowhere to go, and my family is rich. Why don't you marry me and join my family?"

Only then did Duan Qingwei realize that the empress had fallen in love with him at first sight.

But he had no feelings for her and did not want to repeat the past, so he rejected her again and again.

Later, after his identity was exposed, the empress who had once clung to him began to act as if he were invisible.

Duan Qingwei: Is she playing hard to get?

Later still, the empress who had kept saying she liked him was going to marry someone else.

Duan Qingwei finally lost his composure.

Su Yunyi: "The crown prince is of exalted status, while I am of humble origins. I truly am not worthy of him."

Duan Qingwei: ?

Didn't she say she didn't care about status and liked him for who he was?

Is it my fault that I'm the crown prince? You actually think my status is too high.

Theme: Everything has two sides.
