Only when Qingjia was dying did she learn that she was not the emperor's biological daughter.
Consort Chen gave birth to a stillborn child and brought Qingjia from among the common people. Her entire life had been spent as someone else's tool.
Her mother loved her, adding poison to her food and using her as a tool to win the emperor's favor.
The emperor doted on her, drafting an edict to marry her to a powerful minister and use her as a disposable pawn to keep him in check.
Her husband cherished her, yet when she was bedridden with a grave illness, he welcomed his white moonlight into the household with great ceremony.
In her final moments, Qingjia saw her sinister imperial uncle, whom everyone avoided, holding a bloodstained jade seal as he embraced her corpse and called her "Qing'er" again and again.
Given another chance, when the powerful minister once again came to marry her, Qingjia turned and threw herself into the arms of her imperial uncle, Gu Changying.
The delicate little girl clung to Gu Changying's arm. His face was dark, but the corners of his mouth curled high. "Does Qing'er like her little uncle too?"
Gu Changying turned to look at the people who had once hurt Qingjia. The executioner's blade hanging over their necks was about to fall.
Last time, he had been too late and spent his life clutching the little girl's memorial tablet. This time, he would make her his empress and cherish her for the rest of her life.
Sinister, yandere imperial uncle x beautiful, frail little princess.
Notes:
1. One-on-one sweet romance, both leads are sexually inexperienced, and the court intrigue is lighthearted.
2. Both leads are reborn, but the male lead gradually remembers his past life.
3. I'll start writing this after finishing my current serial, so the blurb may change by then.
Theme: A frail woman finds her way to independence.
