But everything came to an abrupt end the year her aunt died. She fell from the clouds in the sky into the mud on the ground. Even her death was quiet, in a dilapidated courtyard, as her body slowly grew cold.

This time, she would hold tight to what was hers. What was the point of competing over little matters and who was right or wrong? The most important thing was for her aunt to stay healthy, and for her to become empress in peace and enjoy a life of wealth and honor. As for that young emperor who was always arguing and competing with her, hmph, she wasn’t going to bother with him. As long as her aunt was there, she would be empress anyway. . Li Chao had known since childhood that he would marry Xiao Yuan and make her his empress once he came of age. He had made up his mind about her long ago. It was just that his future little empress was far too unruly, and his mother doted on her constantly. She was nothing like the person his tutor had taught him to be, and she gave him a real headache. Just look at her. She’d pushed some princess or other into the water again, though fortunately the girl had been rescued. He was furious and prepared to give her a proper scolding this time. He couldn’t keep letting her off lightly as he had before. But then he saw her acting completely out of character. All her usual pride was gone. Head bowed, she looked as if she were about to cry and trembled as she said, "It was my fault, Auntie, Your Majesty. Please punish me." His heart clenched tight. His anger burned even hotter, blazing straight up to the heavens. Which damned princess had dared to bully his little empress like this! Blurb for the next novel, The Sickly Beauty Empress Awakens: Xie Qingxue never knew that people could lose years of their lives out of nowhere. She had simply fallen into a deep sleep. When she woke again, ten years had passed. Stepping out of the secret chamber, she lifted the broken jade-bead curtain with fingers as delicate as carved ice and jade. A familiar yet domineering voice came thundering down, sternly berating someone. She would recognize that voice even if it had turned to ash. It belonged to her husband, Li Ao, the emperor of Da Qian. The tender intimacy of the previous night still lingered in her heart. She could hardly wait to see him and throw herself into his broad, sturdy embrace. But the scene before her, as she entered the hall, seemed to freeze her inch by inch. Kneeling on the ground was her eldest son, the child she had cherished since birth. He had grown so much. His back was unbowed, and blood dripped from him one drop at a time. The long whip in her husband’s hand came crashing down, its barbed hooks glinting coldly. A surge of fury erupted within her. She hurled the jade ornament in her hand with all her strength. Who gave Li Ao the nerve? Does he think he hasn’t spent enough time kneeling on a washboard?
