I Faked My Death and Fled with My Child, But the Mad Crown Prince Stole Me Away

[Ruthless Noblewoman x Cold Emperor] [Reborn] [Revenge on Scumbags] [Marriage Before Love] [He Chases After Her]

In her previous life, she crushed her sincere heart and offered it to her beloved and her family, only to die a wretched death on a snowy night.

Reborn, she was still the daughter of the Cui family, whom Gu Jingzhao had cast aside like trash.

She seized an opportunity before it could slip away, using herself as a chess piece to climb into the Eastern Palace's favor.

But Crown Prince Li Chengyu shattered her dream of becoming empress with his own hands:

"The Cui family is vile. How could one of them be fit to rule the Eastern Palace?"

She endured his suspicion and gave birth to his heir, only to receive his icy imperial command:

"Leave no one of the Cui bloodline alive."

Looking at the infant in her arms, she felt fear for the first time and faked her death that very night.

Five years later, the young emperor, with the realm in his grasp, searched for her remains like a madman.

Then, amid the misty rain of Jiangnan, he saw the woman who had supposedly died, smiling gently at another man.

He dragged her back to his bedchamber. In the bronze mirror, his reflection was twisted with rage:

"Remarry? Your whole body bears the marks I left behind. Where has he touched you? Wherever he touched, tonight I'll reclaim every inch."
