In his previous life, Dongfang Li fell in love with Xie Xingyan at first sight at Tai Fu's house. At that time, Xie Xingyan was like a gentleman, a man of orchids and jade trees, and one glance made Dongfangli fall.
From then on, she always expressed her love to him in her own way: giving him gems, jade and pearls, gorgeous clothes, and doing everything she could to stay by his side. Even after she ascended the throne, she regarded him as her most important minister and consulted him on everything.
Because of him, Dongfang Li never truly loved any male favorite in his harem. But she also knew: he didn't want to be bound by the palace wall and do nothing. She then refused to admit him into the harem and gave him freedom.
What she didn't expect was that Xie Xingyan gave her a glass of poisoned wine, and she drank it without warning, and died suddenly.
As fate would have it, she was reborn. After her rebirth, she just wanted to forget Xie Xingyan, be pure of heart, and perform the feats a queen should have. But the noble prince in her harem always pestered her and became a stumbling block on her road to abstinence.
Intention: Be independent and do not lose yourself for others.
