In her previous life, Li Yunjin was empress and stopped at nothing to seize power. The emperor, the heir apparent, the grand secretary, the imperial preceptor: all of them became her willing subjects! But in the end, rebel forces stormed the capital, she was reduced to a prisoner, and she was forced to drink poison. She died with regrets.
Reborn, she learned from her mistakes. This time, she would take her fate firmly into her own hands, stay away from men she shouldn’t get involved with, work hard to make money, and live happily in the sun as a carefree little heiress.
But the powerful men weren’t having it. One after another, they came to her door demanding she take responsibility, determined to make their rivalry for her affection a battle to the finish!
Especially her greatest enemy from her previous life, the young heir of the Prince of Dingbei’s household. In this life, he was just as determined to make trouble for her. Faced with a crowd of rivals, he decided to strike first, climbing over her wall night after night to pester her. With a roguish smile, he said:
“Share the realm with me, and will you be mine?”
Yunjin: “Get lost!”
“Then let’s make a deal. The realm is yours, and so am I.”
Yunjin worked the beads on her abacus. “...That might be negotiable.”
