Reborn: A Lifetime of Floral Fragrance

The only daughter of the empire's chancellor, she loved the king's sixth son, Prince Chu. For ten years, she accompanied him on the battlefield and helped him scheme to seize the throne. She endured the pain of an abortion for him and turned her back on her family for him. When all the conspiracies were exposed, thousands of soldiers waited outside the imperial city, countless swords pointed at Prince Chu. At last, his true face, hidden for ten years, was revealed. In a panic, he pulled her in front of him and pointed at her. “It was all her! She bewitched me!” Since ancient times, beautiful women have been blamed for bringing ruin. In that moment, her peerless beauty shone all the brighter in the blood-soaked palace. She stared at him in despair as he kowtowed to the king, begging for mercy and insisting that she had ordered him to do everything. Memories of the past ten years flooded her mind. Her heart felt as if it were being cut to pieces, her eyes were bloodshot, yet not a single tear would fall. At the king's command, sword-bearing soldiers rushed in from every direction. Even at the very end, he was still pulling her in front of him to take the sword… Thunder roared outside the palace. Even heaven and earth seemed to condemn what she had done. Pain surged through her, and just before she closed her eyes, a torrential rain finally began to fall outside… In the final moment before consciousness faded, she heard her parents' desperate cries, the people's anguished lamentations, thunder rumbling outside, and rain pounding the ground. She pleaded with Heaven, “Please, give me one chance to atone…” Perhaps Heaven was merciful, or perhaps it had heard her plea. Reborn, she returned to the year she met him. The gentle scent of jasmine still filled her boudoir, and she was still the girl adored by everyone. This time, she swore to protect those who loved her, even at the cost of her life. She would make Prince Chu, Li Yan'en, pay the price he deserved…
