My Empress Is a Green Tea

One-on-one, both reborn. A sweet, lighthearted romance, with a husband chasing his wife and a battlefield for taking down scumbags. - [The Serious Version] Before she was reborn, Xie Shuying was a woman everyone despised. Cast out by the Marquis's household, she entered the palace one day, only for Emperor Changle to leave her waiting all night. Branded with a name that would be reviled for generations, she could only drown herself. Her former brother-in-law, who had coveted her for years, went mad. He staged a rebellion and seized the throne for her, then had the emperor hacked to pieces and made into minced meat and dried human jerky. After she was reborn, she took every step carefully, determined to avoid the tangled causes and effects that had shaped her fate. But fate had other plans. Not only did she fail to escape them, she became the player moving the pieces in this bewildering game. Her opponent was none other than the tyrant supposedly “reduced to dust and bones.” Even worse, the damn emperor seems to like her a little too much... “Your Majesty, my queen, I've brought your scumbag first love here for you. I mean, dragged him here. Do you want him?” Xie Shuying smiled gently and touched her rounded belly. “Maybe next time.” - [The Memoir Version] Many years later, our child asked me how I first met his father. I thought for a moment, then replied, “Laughing, I followed my playmates through the garden. We had not yet met. I played with green plums by the low wall, while you rode a white horse beneath the drooping willows. Across the wall, our eyes met. At first sight, I knew you, and my heart broke.” Our child said that the love between us was beautiful. But he didn't know that the bond between Xiao Xi and me in this life began when we secretly listened together beneath a wall to someone else's love affair.
