The Dark-Hearted Emperor's Beloved: The Empress Dowager Lives a Thousand Years

[Delicate, soft-bodied beauty and easygoing empress × reborn, scheming, possessive, jealous emperor] An Suxu is chosen for the palace and made empress.

An Suxu has given up on life and decides to wait peacefully for death. But after entering the palace, she discovers that nothing seems to be as she imagined!

The empress dowager, consorts, concubines, and princesses sent for political marriages haven’t even come within three feet of her before they’re already spilling blood on the ground.
