Synopsis (original title: I Ran Away Carrying the Emperor's Baby)

A former slave, frail beauty turned "widow" x an overbearing emperor who takes what he wants

Sold into servitude as a child and raised as a frail beauty, Yun Niang never imagined she could live any other way than by giving herself to a man. So in her previous life, when the prefect bought her and gave her to a nobleman, she was full of hope, thinking that she would enjoy a wealthy, carefree life. But before long, she died because of the nobleman's suspicions.

Reborn into a new life, Yun Niang only wanted to live in peace. So she took the document that freed her from servitude and the hush money she had received in exchange for one night of passion, bought property elsewhere, opened a shop, and even rescued a scholar who had offended powerful people.

-

After she rescued the scholar, Yun Niang suddenly began having erotic dreams about him. They came night after night, leaving her both embarrassed and frightened. She hoped the scholar would recover soon and leave.

But he didn't leave, and then an unexpected problem came first:

Yun Niang discovered she was pregnant, and soon her belly would be impossible to hide.

Despite the rumors flying around him, the handsome scholar offered a formal marriage proposal, with all the proper betrothal gifts and ceremonies.

Yun Niang was so moved that tears filled her eyes. But one day, she discovered that the gentle, refined scholar was a lie, and the suspicious, mistrustful nobleman was the true face of the man at her side.

The heart-piercing pain of her previous death surged through her once more.

Yun Niang wiped away her tears and ran without looking back.

-

Xiao Zhen pretended to be a noble gentleman, as bright and pure as the moon and wind, by Yun Niang's side. Yet every night, his dreams were filled with passionate scenes of her, along with memories of being tormented by poison and gu after Yun Niang died in his previous life. Dream layered upon dream, they had raised a vicious beast that only Yun Niang could soothe.

But Yun Niang was determined to escape him. It didn't matter. He would always find a way to make her willingly stay by his side, whether through the friends she made or the younger sisters she took in.

In a cage built from jeweled halls and a fairy terrace, Xiao Zhen pressed close to her day after day, whispering, "A Yun, don't think about leaving me."

When Yingyue was seventeen, her older brother in the household developed improper feelings for her. To protect the Yan family's good name, they voluntarily offered a daughter to take the princess's place in a political marriage to Northern Qi, while her brother was able to marry the princess in a grand ceremony.

She was married to Prince Xin of Northern Qi for ten years. They went from treating each other with respect to becoming estranged and embittered. Later, the Southern Chu dynasty changed hands. Prince Xin, who had inherited the throne from his elder brother and become emperor, used Southern Chu's sending a fake princess for the marriage as a pretext to send troops against Chu. On the battlefield, he killed Yingyue and her daughter as an offering to the war banner.

Yingyue returned, filled with hatred, to the moment her daughter had just been born.

Prince Xin had quarreled with her over his concubine. In a fit of anger, Yingyue moved to a country estate, where she encountered danger and gave birth prematurely, nearly dying. Fortunately, the young emperor of Northern Qi, who was hunting nearby, sent imperial physicians and guards to help her.

Later, the young emperor of Northern Qi, who had died early in her previous life, became a frequent visitor to the estate.

Gu Huaijing originally wanted only his elder brother dead. Later...

Prince Xin died in the prime of his life, leaving behind a beautiful princess consort and a young princess. Gu Huaijing said with heartfelt sincerity, "Now that my brother is gone, let me take care of Sister-in-law and Bodhi from now on!"

But before he could act, people from Southern Chu arrived, claiming they had come to take their princess home.

When Gu Huaijing heard that the one who had come was Yingyue's older brother, his face instantly darkened.
