Only she and Pei Che know that Rongruo likes Pei Che.
Pei Che came from a poor family and his family was in a difficult situation.
She was afraid of being laughed at. Even if she had just locked hands with Pei Che, she could turn around and say to her neighbor's brother, "He is the one who has been pestering me all day."
Rong Ruo thought she had plenty of time to play around, but the government was in turmoil. The entire Rong family was imprisoned because of their misalignment, and her father and Pei Che were fed poison at the same time.
The eunuch beside the new emperor handed her an antidote and asked her to choose who to save.
Rongruo chose Pei Che.

"She's smarter than I thought." Deep in the palace, the indifferent emperor looked at her coldly: "You are sitting high and high in the world, but you are sinking into the dust."
Rong Ruo had indeed known for a long time that the new emperor who ascended the throne was Pei Che.
Otherwise, why would you choose him?
He wanted her to look up to him, admire him, crush her arrogance, and turn her vanity into a joke: "Don't you want to marry high? Dream on."
Rong Ruo could not bear the emperor's wrath, and she stood in front of him with the fragrant gauze and curtains covered, letting the blood from her neck splash on his cold and heartless face, and committed suicide in front of him.
"I was young and ignorant, and I offended His Majesty. I will die to apologize——"
He held her in his arms. It was obvious that her body was lifeless, but she was still trembling.
Pei Che left the palace at a young age and crawled out of the mountains of swords and seas of blood. He once hated Rongruo, a vain and stupid woman, but at that moment, for the first time, he tasted the heart-breaking and bone-breaking torture of losing a loved one.
He would not be able to escape for several years.
