One-Sentence Summary: Slapping faces together, forever and always.
Theme: Love and family affection.
When Pu Zhu was young, her grandfather—a high-ranking official—was implicated in a major court case and imprisoned. At the age of eight, as a family member of a convicted minister, she was exiled to the frontier regions to serve in penal hardship. After enduring years of suffering and growing up amid adversity, her family name was finally cleared. By a stroke of fortune, she was chosen as Crown Princess.
She devoted herself to securing the Crown Prince’s favor and ultimately gained both his affection and her status. Yet fate was cruel. Not long after she painstakingly rose to become Empress, the state fell into turmoil, and she met a tragic death.
Reborn, Pu Zhu is determined to seek fortune and avoid disaster, to seize power, and to ascend once more to the position of Empress—this time without repeating the mistakes of her past life or reliving its misery. The story begins with her calculated efforts to win back the favor of her former husband, the Crown Prince.
Will she succeed?
The prose flows smoothly, the narrative unfolds with quiet elegance, and the characters are vividly portrayed. A heroine single-minded in her pursuit of power meets a hero who regards power as worthless as dirt. Bound together by fate, their encounter sparks intense and dazzling chemistry.
