This Palace Maid Is So Arrogant

Su Li transmigrates into a book! The original owner was a young lady from the Su family. Not long after she married into the imperial palace, a “man in black” threw her into a lake near the cold palace where a hostage prince from a neighboring country lived. But as luck would have it, someone rescued her! She never imagined that the whole thing was a scheme set up by the emperor! Su Li had no idea she had become the emperor’s “pawn,” one meant to cause trouble for the hostage prince. Caught between the emperor and the prince, she struggles to navigate the treacherous politics of both countries and becomes a key figure in the shifting balance between them. To keep the prince from coming to harm, Su Li maneuvers in secret by the emperor’s side. To her surprise, she eventually falls in love with the prince. Across two lifetimes, a love she had never known finally comes to her. But... she can only have a taste of it. In the end, she leaves him alone. She still remembers that birthday night, when she prayed and made a wish for him. A Kongming lantern drifted slowly through the sky, shining over the earth like a lantern in heaven. “May I know one heart alone, and may my wish come true.” “May you understand my feelings, and may your smile bring peace and joy.” That heart-stirring yet tragic love lingered for a brief moment amid the turmoil of the court, before ending in sorrowful regret. All that remained was a poignant tale of a divine romance.
