After the Empress Was Killed by Her White Moonlight

In her previous life, Empress Chaoyuan was icy and indifferent toward all the lords of her harem, showing them little affection. The only exception was her beloved, Yuan Hexuan, the man she had always yearned for. She showered him with tenderness and gave him her whole heart.

But Yuan Hexuan was a scoundrel. Once he entered the empress's harem, he began scheming for power and framing loyal officials. He ruined Chaoyuan's empire, and he ruined her, too.

As Chaoyuan lay dying, three lords she had never valued much gave their lives for her, falling beneath Yuan Hexuan's blade.

After being reborn, Chaoyuan will never again trust the man she had loved since childhood. She will love her country and its people, and become an empress revered by all.

She will protect those who truly treat her well and spare them the tragedies of her previous life.

Lord Shao Yi: Your Majesty smiled at me today.

Lord Si Mo: Good heavens, Her Majesty gave me the painting she loves most!

Lord Gu Yi: Mine's even more ridiculous. Her Majesty killed Yuan Hexuan's dowry servant just to avenge me.

A guide for new readers: 1. One-on-one romance, with the woman bearing a child. None of the three lords in the blurb is the male lead, and neither is her beloved, Yuan Hexuan. The male lead is named Mu Ziqi. Read the story for details.

2. Some parts of the story are the author's own worldbuilding. The author has the final say. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoy writing it! Sending love to you all!
