Empress Regnant Pei Xuan ascended the throne at sixteen and passed away at twenty.

In her lifetime, she and her Empress (Consort) Zishu Jin maintained a relationship of icy respect, entangled in a lifetime of complex affections and grievances. Before dying, she swore never to see Zishu Jin again in her next life.

As it turned out, when she opened her eyes, it was five years later. She had been reincarnated into a down-and-out family, with a father above her who was adept at assessing situations to curry favor with the powerful, and a passive-aggressive stepmother below who constantly tried to trip her up.

Pei Xuan was just about to laugh out of exasperation when she discovered that the Empress Dowager was secretly recruiting lovers—and she herself had been selected.

Pei Xuan: “?”

Pei Xuan: I would laugh, if I could actually bring myself to laugh because this is so absurd.
