The Imperial Couple's Acting Awards

In my previous life, my cousin took my place and entered the palace, while my uncle's family framed me for adultery. I met a terrible end.

Reborn, with the script in hand, I'll send every person who ever harmed me straight to hell!

Consort Wei: Vixen!

Xiao Qi: Vile woman!

Tang Lin swept everyone aside. "A Xiang is innocent, kind, virtuous, and gracious. You're always jealous of her!"

Consort Shu flew into a rage. "Your Majesty, she's manipulative and even schemes against you. Don't let her deceive you!"

Tang Lin: "Who in this world hasn't had to scheme at times? If you hadn't kept trying to harm her, would she have had to live such a hard life?"

The Empress: "Your Majesty, do you have something wrong with your eyes? She's adored by everyone. How is that a hard life?"

Tang Lin looked heartbroken. "You don't understand. She left home at such a young age and came to this dark, miserable palace. She was separated from her parents and brothers, and rarely gets to see them..."

The consorts wept bitterly. "So were we!"

Tang Lin shook his head. "You don't understand. Only I know how hard things have been for her."

Consort Shu was beside herself with anger. "She doesn't love you at all, Your Majesty! It's all an act!"

Tang Lin lifted his chin. "Nonsense! How could I not know whether A Xiang loves me? Isn't that right, A Xiang?"

Xiao Xiang, busy petting a cat and eating lychees, gazed at the delicacies on her plate. "Of course I love you. How could I not?"
