[The tyrant emperor chases her after losing her] + [Revenge] + [Face-slapping and putting scoundrels in their place] + [Rivalry among men] In her previous life, Chu Qingyin entered the palace as a consort and enjoyed the emperor’s exclusive favor. The emperor promised her, “Yinyin, sooner or later, I’ll make you empress.”
