A Dirge for a Lost Love

My best friend, Su Qingrou, and I transmigrate as palace maiden candidates. Su Qingrou plans to use past-life poems to become empress. I warn her of exposure, but she accuses me of jealousy. Later, she frames me for hiding forbidden books and bribes jailers to torture me to death. Reborn on selection day, I push her forward, saying, 'You will surely outshine everyone.'
