The Reborn Wife of the Splendid Emperor

After twenty years of plotting and one life sacrificed, she finally avenged her great wrong. But after dying, she transmigrated and was reborn!

A long song in troubled times, with war raging everywhere and schemes at every turn. Once again, she must shoulder the burden of blood vengeance!

Excerpt One:

“How did you get here? Didn’t you say you were staying with Consort Shu tonight?”

“That was a lie. All of it was a lie.”

“Hm?”

“With so many hidden guards around, finding someone built about the same as me isn’t difficult.”

“My dear Emperor, are you saying that every concubine you’ve favored was actually that hidden guard, um, standing in for you?”

“Of course!”

“And the Empress too?”

“Certainly not.”

“...!”

“I’ve never touched her.”

“...”

Excerpt Two:

In the solemn and dignified Hall of Supreme Harmony, Gu Qingyou was playing chess with the Retired Emperor.

“Qing, did you hear what happened yesterday? A minister nearly smashed his head against a pillar in the Golden Hall.”

“Mm.”

“You’re the Empress now, so things are different from before. You should be broad-minded and set an example for all under Heaven. You’re the best person to persuade the Emperor to take more consorts. That way, people will praise you for your virtue.”

“Mm. Your move.”

“I know. Listen to me, girl. The Emperor has purged the harem for your sake, and the ministers are furious. If this keeps up...”

“Sure, sure.”

“So you agree?”

“You’ve lost.”

After placing her final piece, Gu Qingyou stretched and headed outside without answering the Retired Emperor. But when she reached the doorway, she turned back with a smile.

“I suppose the Emperor’s words this morning slipped your mind, Retired Emperor. Never mind, I’ll give you a definite answer today. If the Emperor ever takes a consort, best case, I’ll walk away from the job. Worst case, it wouldn’t be impossible for the Emperor to become a eunuch.”

The Retired Emperor was so furious that his whiskers bristled. Were the two of them taking turns trying to anger him?! Couldn’t they say something nice for once about not taking consorts?! That morning, he had summoned the Emperor and urged him to fill the harem. The little brat refused, which was bad enough. Then, before leaving, he stood right where Gu Qingyou had just been and told him, “If you’re going to be the Retired Emperor, then act like one. If you keep sticking your nose into everything, I’ll throw you out of the palace!”

The heroine is powerful and cunning, and the hero is a captivating, devoted man. Don’t miss it, everyone! Mwah!
