SYNOPSIS
The old emperor passed away. Shen Yingge, as a Guifei [Noble Consort], was accused of bringing disaster upon the nation and was granted a cup of poisoned wine.
The one who personally sent her on her way was Xie Zan, the treacherous minister who wielded power over the entire court.
This man was infamous for being ruthless, cruel, and utterly heartless.
Before entering the palace, Shen Yingge had tried everything to cling to Xie Zan, scheming her way into his bed with countless tricks. Yet, he remained unmoved and threw her out of the Xie residence.
He was born noble, making her seem all the more lowly in contrast.
Holding onto what little dignity she had left, Shen Yingge gritted her teeth and fought for survival in the palace, climbing step by step.
Eventually, she became the emperor's most beloved consort. Seizing the opportunity for revenge, she crippled Xie Zan's legs, condemning him to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair.
She never expected that he would hold a grudge until now, determined to see her dead.
Well, it made sense. She had never been a good woman-selfish, heartless, and guilty of countless sins.
Shen Yingge carelessly spilled the poisoned wine onto the ground.
"Poisoning is such an ugly way to die. If I must die, I'd rather do it beautifully."
She drew Xie Zan's sword and smiled charmingly.
"If there is a next life, I'd rather never meet you again and just live honestly as a good person. Do you believe me?"
Xie Zan said nothing, but the cold, mocking smile on his lips was answer enough.
He didn't believe her. Not at all.
She laughed, raised the sword, and slit her own throat before him.

Good news: She was reborn.
Bad news: She didn't go back to the past-instead, she woke up as Xie Zan's newly wedded wife.
