[Beautiful Concubine + Reborn Dark Tyrant + Redemption Romance + Pure Love]
In his previous life, Emperor Jianwu (Xie Heng) trapped himself in the rigid ideals of a “sage king,” striving to be a flawless, virtuous ruler. Yet he ended up betrayed by all, lost his throne, and was poisoned into disability. At his lowest, the only one who stayed by his side was the so‑called vicious, domineering concubine—who even died shielding him from arrows.
Xie Heng’s grief was unbearable. After rebirth, he cast aside moral scruples and vowed to use any means necessary to achieve his goals. For the one he cherished like the moon in his heart, however, he would lavish endless care, hoping she could live a happy, fulfilled life this time.
Ming Xi was born into privilege: her father is the illustrious Marquis Wuding, her brother a brilliant young general—and a doting elder sibling. By sixteen, she had never suffered hardship.
In the 22nd year of Jinghe, the emperor suddenly decreed her betrothal to the newly‑crowned Crown Prince as a side consort.
Ming Xi had long known that with her status, at worst she would marry into a great clan and face inevitable inner‑court rivalries. Since she must fight anyway, why not fight in the most exalted place of all? Perhaps she could even battle her way to the throne as Empress Dowager, wielding supreme power over the realm.
Prepared with eighteen strategies to win over the Crown Prince, she turned—only to find that the radiant heir apparent was… not quite right.
Before she had done anything, the prince was already clinging to her like a shadow, endlessly indulgent and devoted.
Ming Xi silently wondered: does transmigration always come with a destined true love? Was she actually the pampered heroine of a sweet romance?
But soon she discovered the truth: she was merely the “vicious concubine” side character. And her not‑so‑normal Crown Prince was in fact the ultimate villain boss.
Absurd!
