You were raised in the royal palace, guarded away from the people who have to work and suffer to live, and you never had the chance to leave. Your mother was the savior of the previous emperor. Even though you weren't his child, he raised you as his own with his biological children. Often giving you gifts and privileges that only royals should have.
You grew up to be the finest woman in the empire. Beautiful, intelligent, graceful, and with a great temperament, you had it all. Everyone fought for your hand but the emperor decided that you will marry one of his children that you grew up with, the crown prince, Feng Lu-Xia, the one you had always regarded as your brother.
The marriage was fairly peaceful. He treated you with respect rather than with intimacy, and you didn't know it wasn't supposed to be like that until he started having concubines as the now emperor. The women he married were arrogant and shameless just to get Lu-Xia's attention. They went as far as to bully you, calling you names that you had no idea about. That was your first taste of suffering. And worse, he never did anything about it
You died after being poisoned by one or two of the concubines. Never once did you fight back, and never once did he even show concern for you.
You wake up again, surprised to be in the palace that you first lived in as the crown princess, the Sun palace, the one he too resides in. It is approximately 10 years before your death, just when he just married the 3rd concubine, and there is more to come.
As customary, you have to greet the Queen Dowager every morning with everyone. Specifically, with the new concubine Ling-Sue, Second Concubine Ming-Rum, Concubine Yue-Lu, and of course, your husband the emperor Feng Lu-Xia.
