The male lead is Liu Su. The Crown Prince at the beginning is his father.
The first few chapters are a little slow, so I recommend starting from Chapter 7.
The male lead has no point-of-view chapters in the first 50 chapters, so some narrative bias may occur.
Jiang Cai never imagined that in this life, even as a convicted official's family member, she would be able to occupy the honored seat of Empress.
What she could never have imagined was that in the end, she would still make her exit in such an undignified state.
As a child, the Emperor often dreamed of Elder Sister Jiang. In his dreams, she was as gentle and quiet as ever, with soft features. Only, she had become the noblewoman who held the phoenix seal and resided in the imperial chambers.
He thought that Elder Sister Jiang could never possibly become that to him.

Female lead: I only hope to meet a good end in this life.
Male lead: I hate that the moon hangs high, shining on everyone but me.

A love as bitter as the sea, reborn twice, slow burn

Reader comments are enabled.
1. Not a typical rebirth novel. Dual narrative, limited points of view.
2. Not a typical older-woman-younger-man romance. The female lead is five years older.
3. An Emperor-and-Empress romance.
4. Chapters average 3,000 characters. Updates are generally every other day, occasionally daily.
5. The social setting is a partially fictionalized Han dynasty.
6. The leads' lives draw on historical figures, but this is not a historical novel. See the author's note in Chapter 1 for details.
7. Chapters marked with * are set in their previous life.
8. Please don't offer unsolicited writing advice.
Content warnings:
1. The present-life storyline is a 1v1 romance with both leads sexually inexperienced and faithful. In the previous-life storyline, the male lead is not sexually inexperienced and fathers children with other women (please note).
2. The female lead has a somewhat humiliating ending in the previous-life storyline. She is poisoned to death in the Cold Palace (proceed with caution).
3. The female lead is five years older than the male lead, who has a mother complex toward her.
4. The male lead is a true-born royal and there will be brutal, realistic scenes (but no sexual assault).
5. The female lead is truly kind and virtuous and will not turn evil. You could call her a saint, but she will kill people in the middle and later parts of the story out of instinct for survival. Proceed with caution if that bothers you.
6. The female lead will have a child in the present-life storyline.
7. Happy ending.
8. The tags call this a tragic romance. Both leads are essentially a little crazy; they just maintain a facade of calm, and this will become increasingly obvious later on.
Theme: None
Liu Su was so cold and cold. He suppressed Jiang Cai and King Guangling with just one word, without considering Jiang Cai's feelings (or considering revenge). If King Guangling was stunned by the counselor's visit, he would be more easily manipulated and betrayed... This was mainly to lure the snake out of the hole, or King Zhending wanted to kill three birds with one stone.
🤗 The teacher's writing is really good 🤗
Check in, a rare moment of tenderness 💪
Dad, why did you stop here?
The relationship between the male protagonist and his younger brother is very delicate. There was no such younger brother in his previous life, but now this cheap younger brother has cut off the more pure and well-intentioned care of the female protagonist and his mother, leaving even less for himself. The younger brother also has some attachment complexes like the male protagonist. For example, the non-blackened version of himself has a better impression in the female protagonist's mind, so he has a sense of crisis and tests it from time to time. Hahh
Hey, I accept it even if it's a dangerous place 😭
To be so self-interested, then my love for the female protagonist is completely different from the male protagonist's love for the female protagonist. The male protagonist hopes that the flowers bloom only for him 🤔 I hope the female protagonist can be happy
Because I don't have the same power as the male and female protagonists, but my loan allowed me to obtain such a class. From the perspective of the male protagonist, I feel that these people are dragging down the female protagonist. But in fact, what these people are like depends on the heroine's thoughts 🤔
Did you get pregnant around this time in your last life? You must be safe this time. With children, the imperial power is actually more stable to a certain extent🥺I hope Acai can achieve self-consistency. The queen of the Han Dynasty should have a high political status [angry] but the brothers, nephews, and nephews are not living up to expectations and cannot recognize their own identities. . . . And I feel like I think weirdly at the same time as the male protagonist a lot of the time. Falling in love with the female protagonist is really unavoidable...
In fact, one of the biggest reasons why A Cai was in pain was that Wu Yin's death was at her own hands. . . . She thought Wu Yin was her potential political opponent in the future, and if she judged him to be risky, she could start ruthlessly killing him.
