Please follow the author’s page, and leave more comments. Thank you.
Also, after chapter 30, the story has a lot more political intrigue. Thank you to everyone reading. The plot comes first, romance second. I may revise chapters often because the author can’t remember what she wrote, old-age dementia. The heroine grows over the course of the story. If that’s not for you, feel free to leave. Please don’t attack the characters or offer unsolicited writing advice. If you have complaints, you can drop the novel. The plot contains a lot of information, and the final two hundred thousand words are not recommended for chapter-skipping.
In her previous life, Wang Jia Mi was the darling of fate.
Born into a prestigious family, she married Chu Che at sixteen. By the time she was twenty, her husband had become the emperor.
Everyone who knew her said she was blessed.
That is, until she saw the man she loved, the one who shared her bed, exile the entire Wang clan when she was twenty-six.
Her father and brothers were dead, her child was gone. Wang Jia Mi felt there was no point in living, so she took her own life.
She had been exhausted all her life. If she could, in this life she wanted to stay away from romance and save her family.
And
Keep her distance from the husband she had in her previous life.

In his youth, Chu Che had been an overlooked, lonely prince. He never imagined that the haughty Ninth Miss of the Wang family would marry him.
She stayed by his side through many difficult years, sharing his loneliness and hardship, and accompanying him for more than a decade.
But once he held supreme power, he had the entire Wang clan wiped out for the sake of his own position.
The last time he saw Jia Mi,
she was behind layers of curtains. She had just miscarried and refused to see him.
Chu Che had thought he still had countless years to share in tender love with her, but she died that day, forever.
From then on, he was a lofty, enlightened ruler who worked day and night. But the throne was high and cold, and no one ever called him Ming You again.

As the celebrated Chancellor of Xie, Xie Yan Zhi was always up before dawn and working late into the night. He held immense power and came from an aristocratic clan, yet he spoke for the common people and destroyed the century-old foundations of the great families.
The aristocrats despised him. Everyone called him a madman.
But later, even the common people could no longer understand him.
Xie Yan Zhi was a figure both praised and condemned. Official histories described him as unfathomable.
Yet there was hardly anything to dig up about his love life.
The only thing people criticized him for was this:
On the day a fire broke out at the former empress’s Zhaoyang Palace, someone saw the powerful Lord Xie carry Jia Mi’s body out of the flames, taking one slow step after another. His voice trembled, and his hair turned white overnight.
“Your Highness, I have come to take you home.”
Also coming soon from the author: Jade Shattered, Branches of Fine Jade and Clouds Emerging from the Hollow.
Readers, please consider adding them to your collections. I haven’t decided when I’ll write them yet.
I haven’t figured out the main plots either, but please do me a favor. *Bows.*
