★ A devoted one-on-one romance, with a strong heroine and a strong hero joining forces. An unconventional tale of doting love is coming your way! ★
She was gentle and quiet, timid and weak, and never sought conflict. Rejected before her wedding, she fell to her death.
She was breathtakingly beautiful, cool on the outside but warm within, aloof and otherworldly. Reborn in another world, she lived as she pleased.
When she was reborn in another world and their souls switched, her phoenix eyes opened once more. Radiant and dazzling, she became a wild beauty whose audacious, wicked ways captivated the world.
Her aloofness faded. A woman of a thousand faces, she faced one assassination attempt after another, smiling as she outplayed her aunt and ruined her half-sister. She laughed as she punished the noble consort and destroyed the emperor’s favorite. Every step was part of a scheme, each thread tightly wound, every moment fraught with danger.
No longer the unloved legitimate daughter everyone could bully, she became a queen who looked down on the world, wild and domineering.
She lived for blood, obsessed with its taste, and the gears of fate began to turn in secret...
Once, they played music together in perfect harmony, wandered through the skies, and laughed and flirted.
Once, they promised each other forever, fingers entwined, ready to share life and death.
After ten lifetimes of reincarnation, could she and he walk hand in hand until their hair turned white, traversing heaven and earth and never parting?

[Ambush from All Sides]
Want her to play the zither? OK!
One heavenly melody from her zither could make a hundred birds sing, a hundred flowers bloom, and a hundred butterflies dance. It was as easy as reaching out her hand. How could that possibly stump her?
What should she play? A lament of a lonely wife? Sorry, that’s not her style. “Ambush from All Sides” would do nicely. First, she could let out some pent-up frustration. Second, it would wake everyone up.
See how caring she is?
The pipa rang out, and the air filled with the smoke of war. The music pressed deeper and deeper, striking straight at the heart.
In an instant, everyone turned pale and stiff, as if they were on a battlefield.

[Bold and Arrogant]
A princess? The emperor’s favorite? None of that matters!
She alone is the queen who rules everything.
She is outrageously bold, utterly arrogant, wicked and domineering. Across the Five Kingdoms, she holds all the vital powers in her hands, stirring up chaos and leaving no place in peace.
And yet there is one man even bolder and more arrogant than she is. He is her grandmaster, wicked and unpredictable, strange in his ways and ever-changing in temperament. He can turn on a dime, as fast as lightning, leaving everyone off guard.
A domineering man, a shameless man, a rogue, a sickly beauty... He can change from one type to another as easily as reaching out his hand.
But he treasures her above all else. He laughs for her, gets angry for her, and shields her from every storm, all so he can keep her safe behind him and watch her smile bloom like a flower.

[Flirting and Bickering]
“Wife, say it for me, will you?” At the foot of the mountain, a certain man in red lightly bit his sensual lips. He refused to believe he couldn’t tempt her.
The woman glanced up and furrowed her brow. How many stone steps would she have to climb to reach the summit? How much would she sweat?
“Wife, ”
“Uh-huh.” His deliberately drawn-out, lingering call echoed through the heavens. The woman blinked innocently and swallowed. Could he stop tempting her all the time? He really was a feast for the eyes. “Come here.”
The red robe swept up as he dashed to his beloved wife, grinning sweetly. “Wife, say it for me!” He would never give up. He was sure he could get his wish.
“Carry me.” She pointed at the long flight of steps, steep and seemingly endless.
The corner of his mouth twitched. He took her little hand and said, “Say it, and I’ll carry you.”
“I won’t.” She stood firm and refused to say it.
“Fine, don’t say it. I’ll carry you anyway.” She was his heart, his very soul. How could he bear to let her tire herself out?
The woman grinned and hopped onto his sturdy back, gently wrapping her arms around his neck. She leaned close to his ear and whispered on purpose, “Hubby... hubby’s dad... Hehe.”
His foot slipped, but he steadied himself. The smile on his handsome face had barely begun to bloom when it froze in place.
All right, he was her father-in-law, then she was his mother-in-law too.

[Adorable Little Baby]
A one-and-a-half-year-old toddler, rosy-cheeked and exquisitely adorable, with a face no one could forget.
Staggering like a little penguin, the child toddled into their mother’s arms, wrapped chubby little hands around her waist, and asked in a baby voice, “Mama, who’s more handsome, Baby or Papa?”
