A little fox, out of gratitude, enters the palace to become the empress of Empress Cheng Sangyi, who is ten years her senior.
To her surprise, the empress is ascetic and detached, she didn’t even show up on their wedding night and has remained cold toward her.
Her mother, concerned about the family’s future, pressures her to please the empress, sending her manuals on how to “serve” the empress.
Though the empress has a cold demeanor, she possesses an exquisite face and a delicate, supple body.
To appease her family, the empress sneaks into the empress’s bedchamber one night and, following the illustrations in the manuals, spends an intimate night with her.
Afterward, she confesses to the events of that night, and the empress angrily rebukes her: “Shameless!”
Empress: “Whether the emperor favors the empress or the empress favors the emperor, it’s all the same, isn’t it?”
No fear at all!
Cheng Sangyi ascended the throne as a woman, honored her birth mother as empress dowager, and ruled diligently, caring for her people. Years later, her own mother poisoned her with a cup of wine so her brother could become emperor. Such was her mother’s favoritism.
When she opened her eyes again, she found herself five years into her reign, with Gu Yunchu, a daughter of the Gu family, as her empress.
On their wedding night, she stayed up all night discussing state affairs with the Minister of War. In this life, she would trust no one.
Half a month after her rebirth, she had a dream.
In the dream, a girl in red—beautiful, with a willow-like waist, captivating eyes, and a seductive charm, enticed and kissed her.
Cheng Sangyi woke up in a fluster, feeling uneasy all over, the corners of her eyes tinged with a faint blush, yet unable to recall the girl’s face from the dream.
An empress, having such a dream, truly shameful.
That night, she dreamed of the girl again, her jade-like fingers tracing along her waist.
Later, she discovered that the girl was her little empress!
She pretended to love the little empress, showing her affection, all to consolidate her throne and eliminate rebels.
The plan went smoothly until the day she intended to depose the empress, the Pepper Chamber Hall caught fire, and her empress sat inside, smiling at her.
Suddenly, Cheng Sangyi felt a pang of panic. She regretted it. She realized she had always loved her.
Rumors spread that the empress, distraught, was constantly summoning the spirit of her deceased empress, begging for her resurrection, her mind unhinged and deranged.
In the forest, the little fox leaned against a green bamboo, the gentle breeze rustling. Upon hearing this, she smiled faintly, “She’s gone mad—why tell me?”
The debt of gratitude has been repaid.
No fear at all!
