In her previous life, Su Xingruo was an imperial consort of the Dali Dynasty. With no empress in the palace and the emperor's favor lavished upon her, she reigned supreme among the imperial consorts.
Only later did she learn that Emperor Boye Chen favored her, but did not love her. His heart belonged to someone else.
In the third year of the Jianzhao era, Boye Chen finally purged the court, led campaigns north and south, and expanded the empire's borders. He became the feared Martial Emperor of Dali. In a single day, the Su family fell from grace: their titles were revoked and their estate confiscated, the men of the family were exiled, and the women were enslaved in the palace entertainment bureau.

Su Xingruo pleaded with Boye Chen on her family's behalf, but he confined her to her palace. While she was under house arrest, he brought the White beauty he'd hidden away for years into the palace, made her a Noble Consort, and announced it to the world. Her honors rivaled those of the empress.
To plead for the Su family, Su Xingruo offended Noble Consort Bai. Boye Chen stripped her of her title and locked her away in the Cold Palace.
**
On a snowy winter night, the noble consort sent her a cup of poison. She drank it in one gulp.
The poison took her life. When she opened her eyes again, she was back in the year she had first entered the palace as a Beauty.
The young and handsome emperor was not yet the bloodthirsty Martial Emperor. But her heart was already still as an ancient well. All she wanted was a chance to escape the palace and leave him for good.

During a southern tour in disguise, the emperor was attacked by rebels. Blades flashed without regard for friend or foe. Boye Chen carried the wounded Bai to safety, while Su Xingruo followed behind, enduring the pain as she covered the bloodstains on her skirt with dirt.
At midnight, she escaped.
**
Beneath the watery moonlight, the young emperor stood with his hands behind his back, cold eyes turning vicious.
"Find her."
"Break her hands and feet. Let's see how she plans to escape after that."
**
In this life, Su Xingruo once again watched Bai gradually make her way to Boye Chen's side and become a consort, while she was nothing more than a pawn her father had sent into the palace, destined to be sacrificed in the struggle for power.
After the Su family fell, Boye Chen stripped her of her title and imprisoned her in the Cold Palace. Noble Consort Bai sent people to torment her day after day, and he turned a blind eye, never setting foot in the Cold Palace again.
On a snowy night, Bai came to the Cold Palace, gently stroking her slightly rounded belly as she smiled triumphantly.
"You and I both have the character 'star' in our names. Did you really think the 'Xing'er' he calls out in his dreams was you?"

When the Martial Emperor's empress was still Consort Chen, she was once banished to the Cold Palace. Someone poisoned her food, and although she survived, she became like a child and lost her memories. Yet every day, the Martial Emperor coaxed her as if she were a little girl.
One day, the empress hurt her foot. Afraid the servants might injure it, the Martial Emperor personally washed her feet. When she merely furrowed her brows, he was so worried that he didn't dare touch her again. Still concerned about her injury, he even knelt on one knee before her.
Her eyes filled with tears as she complained, "You hurt me. I don't want you to wash them."
The Martial Emperor gently coaxed her. "Be good, A Ruo. I'll call a palace maid."
The empress blushed, suddenly remembering the strange things he'd done to her that night. He had promised to call the servants, but in the end, he sent them away and washed her himself.
**
The emperor traveled east to offer sacrifices to his ancestors at the Imperial Ancestral Temple. All the officials knelt at Taihe Gate to see him off.
When the imperial carriage returned to the palace, the empress was curled up asleep in the emperor's arms.
The officials were all astonished. Just as they were about to step forward and impeach the empress, the Martial Emperor made a shushing gesture.
The officials stood frozen in fear and looked up in shock. The emperor of the Dali Dynasty was bending slightly, brushing the dust from the satin surface of his wife's embroidered shoes.
**
/He wanted her by his side, year after year. Whatever she wanted, whatever she asked for, he would search the whole world and gladly place it in her hands./

Are you mean? Although you have to rely on this man, can you have some backbone?
Does the copywriting mean that the heroine will be tortured to death for two lifetimes? Reborn lonely? Not changing the male lead? 666
Why? I came back to take a look at the article I've been saving for so long, and it's not in v yet??? Have you given up? The copywriting is so exciting that I really want to read it. TAT
When will the article be updated?
. . . How many times has the heroine been frivolous in these two chapters? Speechless. He breaks cups, drops things, bumps into people, scratches people, and touches others with his hands. Speechless
Why do you feel confused when reading this article? Confused
Is the heroine out of her mind? The Queen Mother made it clear that she was trying to manipulate her, but she actually got into the mood and attacked fireflies on the Queen Mother's bed? Give someone a handle, so if you don't want to die in the hands of the emperor, is it like dying in the hands of the queen mother? It's really baffling. Is there something wrong with your brain?
To be honest, you were tricked like this by him in your previous life, and you can still see love. What kind of brain do you have?
Does the maid have to be that stupid? Make one's own decisions
So happy, keep up the update
