After Being Reborn, the Noble Consort Wants to Rise to the Top

A reserved schemer who really just wants to cuddle up to the emperor X A kind, harmless consort who has locked away her heart

Jiang Wu had always had it easy. Her father was a rising star at court who had helped the emperor take the throne, and she herself held a high rank as a favored consort.

She was the most powerful woman in the harem.

Until one rainy night, the emperor issued an order and had her entire family slaughtered before dawn, their blood staining the streets.

She couldn't understand. She had been deeply favored, and her father was a pillar of the court who guarded the city gates for the emperor. How had they ended up facing execution as an entire family?

After being reborn, Jiang Wu concealed her sharp edges, quietly closed off her heart, and did everything she could to protect her family and uncover the truth.

But why did everything seem more wrong the deeper she investigated?

Her father had clearly been loyal. How had he become a traitor? She might not love the emperor, but she relied on him to rise in the world. How had she become the culprit who poisoned him without even realizing it?

The emperor: "I don't even know where to start with your father. He was certainly loyal, but not to his sovereign. And the country he loved wasn't ours."

She walked carefully, watching every step she took. She became sensitive and suspicious, no longer herself.

Then the emperor held her close and said, "You're my favored consort. You can use the privileges that come with it. Go ahead and act spoiled."

She thought: The emperor is crazy.

Later, the empress dowager sent the emperor an ugly woman as a consort to disgust him. The woman nearly became empress instead.

Jiang Wu: "So this is what you're into."

The emperor: "Let me explain! I only love you!!"

Shen Qing'an was a deep schemer, with a clever heart and a thousand plans. After meeting Jiang Wu, he gave her everything: his empire, and himself. All he wanted was to cuddle up to his wife.

A famous quote: "You can hurt me, but don't hurt the harmony between my wife and me."

Both leads are virgins.

Upcoming novel: "The Grand Secretary Isn't Like This"

A story of an all-consuming, unrequited love.

[Powerful Grand Secretary X Time-Travelling Girl]

Zhang Chenhe was a brilliant politician who devoted himself to reform and worked for the people's benefit. He was shrewd, yet stayed true to his principles. He was skilled at planning for the nation, but poor at protecting himself, and his achievements would last for generations.

He knew it was impossible, yet did it anyway.

He knew that reformers throughout history often met terrible ends, but he still pressed on alone through wind and rain.

He had once sat high in the grand hall, and had also been reduced to a prisoner in chains.

Zhang Chenhe wasn't a good man, but neither was he a bad one. He was a complicated man with ideals and a conscience.

Chang An was a time traveler who journeyed through different dynasties, repairing and completing the historical records.

She knew how every figure's story ended. She knew Zhang Chenhe would be subjected to the extreme punishment of being flogged after death. To preserve his good name, she put herself into the story and changed its course.

She was skilled at business, had once been richer than an entire nation, and had also given away her entire fortune.

Their paths took them in different directions, yet their hearts understood one another. Their journey was full of hardship. They were friends, but more than friends.

A life of wandering, a half-life spent together.

They would part like the wind.

I only want to watch the moon with you once.
