Reborn as a Caged Bird, the Emperor's Beloved

In her previous life, Yun Zhiyi drifted through life in a daze, then was executed in the Cold Palace for disobeying the Empress Dowager.

She thought she had won that man's love, but he had been using her all along, until her family was destroyed.

Reborn, she meets him again and wants nothing more than to avoid him.

This time, she won't be his woman. If someone wants to throw herself at him, she can gladly give them a push.

Why give up an entire forest for one crooked tree?

But even though she has gone out of her way to keep her distance, why does he keep coming after her? She'd better find someone to marry, and fast.
