[Sweet Romance and Nurturing] [Long-Planned Scheme]
Tiaotiao was a stunning beauty who brought men to ruin.
With her soft figure and delicate temperament, and a beauty capable of toppling cities, she continued to attract countless men who adored and coveted her even after marriage.
In her previous life, Tiaotiao married three times, each husband holding a higher office than the last.
She almost became empress alongside a prince who usurped the throne.
They took her, fought over her, spoiled her, and doted on her, until she became utterly unruly.
With her skill at whispering in her husbands' ears, Tiaotiao stirred up turmoil across the realm and nearly plunged the court into chaos.
Heaven had eyes: her husband failed in his coup, and she was eventually deposed and executed, dying on a lonely, freezing night.

Reborn, Tiaotiao came to her senses and resolved to be a good person.
She had to avoid her cousin, the powerful minister, and the prince plotting to usurp the throne.
As long as she didn't marry any of them, she, the daughter of a minor official, would never get the chance to become a femme fatale.
By a twist of fate, Tiaotiao took a liking to a frail man.
He was refined and handsome, with a gentle, quiet nature. Though born into a noble family, he had no desire to rise in the world. He looked nothing like someone destined for the heights of power.
Tiaotiao happily planned to marry him, only to catch sight at a palace banquet of her three former husbands respectfully bowing before him.
Stunned, she turned and ran.
In full view of everyone, the man seized her wrist. His voice was gentle, but laced with menace:
"Tiaotiao, have you missed your husband?"

Rong Jue had always been a patient emperor.
He killed with patience and calmly eliminated his enemies. Even when dealing with a prince who plotted rebellion, he never rushed.
Only after meeting Tiaotiao did he understand what it meant to be overcome by desire.
He wanted to mark her, to leave traces on her.
He wanted the whole realm to know that this young woman belonged to him.
But above all, he couldn't let Tiaotiao find out.
His plans for her had been laid long ago, every step carefully calculated.
[Little Scene]
Tiaotiao just couldn't understand.
She had married the most exalted man in the realm and been his sole favorite for years. Her father and brothers wielded power across the court. So why did everyone now call her a virtuous empress?
Rong Jue drew her into his arms and said warmly, "A lovely girl like our Tiaotiao deserves to be praised by everyone."
