Flowers bloomed and fell in years gone by. From the Sui to the Tang dynasty, hers was not a long life: thirty-eight years. Her father died when she was young, leaving her and her brother to depend on each other. When she was older, she married the Prince of Qin and took charge of his household. She watched him weather storms and survive battles, bringing home one woman after another. Then came the brothers' feud, the political turmoil of the Wude era, and the Xuanwu Gate Incident. He became the supreme emperor, and she became the most favored woman in the world, mother of the empire.

She had thought they would love and trust each other, understand one another, and stay by each other's side for life. But in the end, Chengqian, the child who had been the pride of the emperor, was their eldest son. After she was gone, he and his father came into conflict, and he exiled himself. He died in a foreign land while still young. His elder brother had spent his whole life planning for him, yet ultimately died at the hands of her youngest son. Even his late father, famed throughout the world for “killing two birds with one arrow,” was denied peace: the ancestral temple was destroyed. And his Lizi, Mingda, Xincheng, and Chengyang all endured troubled lives. Where was the happiness in any of it?

She had spent her whole life enduring and fulfilling her duties, only to meet such an end. Was that truly what she wanted?

Reborn, will she make everything happen differently this time?

Core message: After weathering the storm, you will eventually see the rainbow.

How many chapters are left about Zheng Guanyin? I'm skipping ahead. Is the author trying to glorify Li Jiancheng and Zheng Guanyin, or to vilify them? The previous chapter described how good Zheng Guanyin was to Li Er's eldest grandson and his wife, but this chapter portrays her as an innocent, naive child. If Li Er had lost, would Li Jiancheng have given his family a good ending?

Some words are repeated too many times in the text. If only Empress Zhangsun had lived ten more years! For a crown prince who lost his mother, how important a mother is behind her father! Li Shimin, a ruler who rose through the ranks, wasn't known for his good temper. The empress was a force of gentle strength. From the year after her death, the emperor became less clear-headed.

Many fictional accounts of Li Shimin's deep love for Consort Yang are almost entirely nonsense. The titles bestowed upon women in the harem were likely agreed upon by the couple, not solely by the emperor. These so-called "true loves" only produced two children for Li Shimin throughout their lives. Can they compare to the empress who bore seven children?

Wasn't she supposed to be reborn and tear Li Shimin apart...? How come she's fallen in love with him again?

It still comes down to Mom's side with Chengqian.

It seems like Chengqian is always the one being wronged; Erfeng is showing too much favoritism towards Qingque.

Chengqian seems so wronged.

💪💪Emperor Yang of Sui was Li Yuan's cousin, and Empress Dugu was Li Yuan's aunt, not Li Shimin's. [Rose emoji]

I recall records stating that the concubines in the imperial harem typically bore a maximum of two children, including the four imperial concubines. These women had served Li Shimin from his early years and should all have been capable of bearing children, yet records, including those of princesses, show only two children each.

If Empress Zhangsun had lived a few more years, everything would have been different.
