You Rejected Me as Your Consort in My Past Life, So Why Panic When I Marry Someone Else After Being Reborn?

[Ruthless Emperor Who Takes What He Wants vs. Beautiful, Clear-Headed Palace Maid Determined to Escape]

When Tang Ning breathed her last, Xiao Jue was touring the south with his new consort.

The poisoned wine burned her throat, and only then did she understand: an emperor's favor was like flowers reflected in a mirror and the moon in water. She was nothing but a bird he toyed with in his spare time.

In this life, she had walked on eggshells for wealth and glory, only to meet a tragic end.

She never imagined that when she opened her eyes again, she would be reborn on the day she served tea before the emperor.

The emperor on the throne looked just as he had before, as if no time had passed.

Tang Ning had had enough. She was leaving the palace. Let someone else do the job!

Xiao Jue noticed that the palace maid who used to be so restless and always tried to seduce him had lately been avoiding him.

He deliberately summoned her to attend him by the hot spring, but through the hazy steam, all he saw was her staring fixedly at the bricks beside the pool.

She didn't look up once, as if she were a nun.

Day after day, Xiao Jue's heart fell completely into turmoil.

-

During the emperor's southern tour, a general amnesty was declared. Tang Ning clutched her identity papers and rushed toward the ferry.

But before she could board, the torches of the Longxiang Guards lit up the entire canal.

He strode toward her, his gaze icy and his expression dark.

“Tang Ning, you really are very disobedient.”

He had given her a chance, but all she wanted was to run.

The day Xiao Jue learned that Tang Ning had given her heart to someone else, he could no longer hold back.

She was the one who had seduced him, so she would stay by his side forever.

Marry someone else? She could forget about it!
