After the Noble Consort Assassinated the Emperor

Zhou Xiyi is a beloved imperial consort, surrounded by endless favor. Lavish and extravagant, arrogant and domineering, she is held dear by the emperor, and no one dares say a word against her.

Yet she is still unsatisfied, coveting even greater wealth and power.

So she poisons the emperor, and a child takes the throne.

The Empress Dowager rules from court.

She holds absolute power.

Her former beloved, the moonlight of her youth, is presented by his family to curry favor with her. But this man turns out to be unwilling to accept his fate and attempts to assassinate her while she is off guard.

When she opens her eyes again, she has returned to the age of sixteen.

As it happens, the emperor she poisoned has also been reborn.

Gu Chen, on the night the poison took effect: "She actually dared to murder me, relying on my favor. If there's another life, I'll kill her first."

Gu Chen, after being reborn: "There really is another life?! But she's innocent in this one."

Gu Chen, later: "She says she loves me, so I've decided to forgive her."

Note: The young heir the heroine supported in her previous life had been brought in from elsewhere. He has no role in the story and isn't important.

Both leads are reborn. 1v1, both have only one romantic partner.

1. The emperor is a hopeless romantic. Don't follow his example.

2. There are lots of original settings. No nitpicking, please.

3. I'm a new writer, and the political intrigue is simple. Gentle advice is welcome, orz.

Theme: I will give you both tender love and a vast realm
