After Hearing Her Inner Voice, the Empress Loves Me More Than Life

Chu Fan, a killer skilled in ancient martial arts, transmigrated into the body of the foolish third young master of the Regent's household. The moment he opened his eyes, his second brother, Chu Lin, was already trying to harm him. When Chu Fan fought back, the empress caught them in the act. By chance, she heard Chu Fan's inner thoughts and learned that marrying Chu Lin would lead to her death and the destruction of her kingdom. She also discovered the foresight hidden beneath his feigned foolishness: vivid visions of a blood-soaked court and her own imprisonment. To save her life and realm, the empress broke off her engagement to Chu Lin and transferred it to Chu Fan, hoping to win over the regent, Chu Canglan.

Her decision set off a storm of ambition. Chancellor Lu Chengjun plotted in secret, while General Chu Huaijin turned against Chu Lin. Martial arts factions meddled in the conflict, the Yellow Turban and Black Pine armies rose in rebellion, and border princes carved out their own domains. The reclusive powerhouse Bai Wuhen even treated all living beings as pieces on a chessboard. Drawing on the wisdom of his past life, Chu Fan joined forces with the empress, maneuvering through political intrigues and martial-world conflicts until he helped her secure the throne.

Chu Lin had lain in wait for twenty years. When the empress was about to abdicate, he used dark arts to destroy the dragon vein and the earth's spiritual energy, only to die from the backlash. Disasters swept across the land, leaving all people in peril. To save them, the empress and Chu Fan resolutely entered the Pool of Ten Thousand Lives, hoping to endure countless cycles of reincarnation and obtain the spirit pearl. The pool was filled with illusion after illusion, and through countless trials in lives as ruler and subject, as well as lovers in the martial world, they stood by each other. The spirit pearl had appeared, but whether they could bring it back and quell the disasters remained in the hands of fate.
