The Empress Has Had a Change of Heart After Being Reborn

Empress Pei Miao was the young emperor's cousin, a close relative on both sides.

They were related, yes, but the marriage was forced on the young emperor by the empress dowager, who had held power at court for years.

After enduring things for years, the young emperor seized power.

He immediately imprisoned the empress dowager and deposed the empress, then let the favored consort torment Pei Miao to death.

It was the Prince of Jin who rushed into the capital with a great army and came to the ruined temple to collect her body...

When she opened her eyes, she had returned to the age of fifteen.

Pei Miao was still the darling of the empress dowager, a girl favored by fate.

This time, she'd seen the light.

Rather than marrying the ungrateful young emperor and waiting for her whole family to be executed, why not persuade the empress dowager to depose him early and choose the Prince of Jin as emperor? After they married, wouldn't life be wonderful with Prince of Jin doting on her?

Pei Miao raised her head proudly. "Brother Emperor, I've taken a fancy to the Prince of Jin, who came first in the hunt. What do you think of him?"

The young emperor's fingers tightened around the reins.

His usually calm, self-possessed dark eyes grew heavy with disbelief as he stared at the girl who had been obsessed with him since childhood. "He's not suitable."

She lifted her chin. "If I like him, then he's suitable!"

The usually self-assured emperor chewed over her words, crushing the reins in his hand to bits.

PS: Both leads have only been with each other in both lifetimes. The male lead is the Prince of Jin.
