The New Emperor Can't Forget Me (Both Reborn)

Female lead's perspective The capital was abuzz: Better to be a daughter of the Gao family than a member of the royal family. Gao Tanqing was born into a powerful clan. Her father commanded an army, and her maternal aunt was the Empress. Her husband was Shen Chengyun, heir to a marquis's estate. He was the man she was to marry, and the man she loved. After they married, he disliked her boldness, so she was confined to the inner courtyard day after day. She gave up her pride, abandoned martial arts, and bore him a legitimate son. Then Shen Chengyun rose to the position of regent, the young emperor became a puppet, and the entire Gao clan was killed by his hand. Shen Chengyun brought her a cup of poisoned wine. "The Shen family needs a new wife. You're in the way." Gao Tanqing raised her sword against him, only to find it dulled with neglect. After twenty-five years together, all he had wanted was the Gao family's immense power. Reborn into a new life. The Gao family was still caught up in its dream of joining forces with the Shen family. Gao Tanqing secretly led them to withdraw before it was too late. She navigated the power struggles between the imperial family and the empress's clan, earned the title of Qinghe Commandery Princess, and ensured the Gao family would remain honored through the reigns of two emperors. On the day the Shen family was confiscated, she personally brought Shen Chengyun a cup of poisoned wine. "Drink it, and I'll spare the rest of the Shen family." Like a cornered beast, Shen Chengyun dropped to one knee before Gao Tanqing. "Did you ever love me?" Gao Tanqing: "Never." * On the day she was reborn, the Shen family's wedding sedan arrived at her door. Dressed in red, Gao Tanqing had yet to climb into the sedan when she twisted her ankle and fell into a man's arms. Before she could see his face, his unhurried voice reached her ears. "Make an alliance with me, and I'll ensure you live a hundred years without worry." Male lead's perspective: Huo Cangwu was the result of the emperor's drunken mistake. His mother was a lowly servant girl, and everyone in the palace treated him like dirt. In his previous life, he stayed away from court and made no bids for power. He simply got drunk while listening to the wedding music on the day Gao Tanqing married. In this life, no matter how thorny the path to the throne might be, he would fear nothing, as long as the bright pearl in his heart could shine forever. + Theme: Climbing to the top yourself is better than relying on anyone
