When Su Yu was sixteen, she happily married her Crown Prince brother. In the first flush of their marriage, she told him, "I will share your bed in life and your grave in death."

Only later did she learn that her husband loved someone else. She discovered just how cruel a man could be when he turned against her.

He protected the woman in his arms and sent Su Yu poisoned wine. His words were icy enough to pierce her heart: "Ah Yi has always been kindhearted and gentle. How could she compare to a scheming woman like you? You might as well come with me to your death."

When Su Yu woke again, she had returned to the year she was fifteen, just before she was to be named Crown Princess.

She packed her things and went straight into the tent of the notoriously ruthless Prince of Mobei.

After Xiao Heng was reborn, he thought the Empress seemed much more lively than in his previous life. He decided to let bygones be bygones. She had loved him so deeply, after all, so he would treat her a little better from now on.

He never imagined that his Empress would already be sheltered in the arms of his domineering, high-handed fourteenth uncle.

He staggered as if struck by lightning, his eyes bloodshot as he demanded, "Su Yu, you said you'd share your fur robe with me in life and your grave in death!"

The young woman gently brushed his hand away. "Oh, you're not worthy of that anymore."

He stood in the heavy snow all night, trembling with fear. One thought roared in his mind: He was going to lose her.

Reader's guide:

The male lead is not Crown Prince Xiao Heng. There will be no rekindling of their relationship. His desperate efforts to win her back will end in ashes, and he still won't get her. He'll probably have to watch helplessly as his Empress shows off her love for someone else.

One Qingming Festival, in the rain, a young woman stumbled into Jiang Chen's view. Her thin clothes were soaked through as she raised her dewy eyes and pleaded, "I beg Your Grace, the Duke, to lend me a hand."

Jiang Chen looked at her familiar features and smiled. "Of course. You need only offer me something in return."

And so Yinyin became his mistress.

At first, he thought all he wanted was a night of pleasure. But as time went on, he found it harder and harder to let her go. When choosing a wife, he declared, "My mistress is frail and helpless, so I need to find someone who can tolerate her."

When the imperial decree announcing his betrothal arrived, he thought Yinyin would feel at least a little resentment. But she gave him the same gentle smile as always, like a fragile dodder flower swaying in the wind, so weak and delicate that she could only rely on him to live. He was finally able to put his mind at ease.

Until one day, he caught his imperial betrothed forcing his dodder flower to the riverbank. Yinyin leaped into the river and was swept away. Only then did he realize that she, too, had a proud and unyielding spirit.

Later, when he found her again in Jiangnan, his eyes turned red at the corners. He couldn't bear to imagine how hard it must have been for his hothouse dodder flower to endure a life of hardship and wandering without him.

But the young woman was holding a book, smiling gently yet resolutely as she told the little girl beside her, "The most important thing for a woman is to be independent. Having a man or not isn't all that important. Look, we're doing just fine."

Jiang Chen: "…"

"I Tormented My White Moonlight"

My name is Yaoyao. Ten thousand years ago, I was a carefree ghost. Then I saw the enchanting smile of Lord Qingci by the Vermilion Bird Gate, and I lost my heart.

A young girl's love is pure and passionate. I gave him my whole heart, and at last I won a glance from him.

To my dying day, I remembered how, on our wedding day, my new husband, Qingci, looked on coldly as his white moonlight ran me through the heart with a sword.

The Sixth Princess of the Celestial Realm smiled sweetly. "Brother Ci, the ghost you lured here for me is perfect for repairing my soul."

So that's how it was. So that's how it was. All that tender affection had been a lie!

With only a wisp of my soul left, I drifted through the mortal world. By chance, I learned that Lord Qingci was descending to the mortal realm to undergo reincarnation, so I became a mortal woman and slowly ensnared his heart.

Then I recreated the scene from our wedding day, gave him a seductive smile, and threw myself onto the sword. Blood sprayed across the scene!

I watched him curl up, unable to make a sound in his agony, reliving the moment his beloved died again and again through ten lifetimes of reincarnation, helpless and despairing.

Those ten lifetimes of loneliness were what I had prepared for him!

Later, I stormed the Cloud Sparrow Palace and forced the Sixth Princess of the Celestial Realm to her knees, reclaiming the divine consciousness she had stolen from me.

I thought that would make my life as a ghost complete, but I never expected Qingci, newly returned from his trials, to corner me. His tears mingled with blood as he sobbed, "Yaoyao, I've repaid you with ten lifetimes. Can I make you look at me once more?"

But he didn't know that a ghost whose soul has been pierced by sword qi loses the ability to love. I can no longer look at you with the same burning affection I once felt.
