I am the orphan of a state hero, raised by the Empress Dowager and married off by the Emperor's decree. During a hunt in the outskirts of the Capital, I took an arrow for my husband, the Third Prince. To frame the Crown Prince, my husband secretly ensured my wound would never heal. This made everyone in the palace pity me and blame the Crown Prince, leading the Emperor to depose him. My husband tricked me into recuperating at a country estate, and four years passed in a flash. When I finally returned, I discovered my husband, now the Crown Prince, was already living happily with the one that got away. They ascended the throne as Emperor and Empress, leaving me to be tortured to death in the Cold Palace. Reborn into a new life, I will bring his beloved into the family early to suffer that arrow in my place.
