After Rebirth, I Become The Emperor’s White MoonLight

Jiang Mi is the Empress Dowager’s niece — a woman who was forced upon the Emperor. Even knowing full well that her imperial step cousin held no affection for her, she had stubbornly followed her heart into his inner palace. A great deal of scheming, and yet her end had not been a pleasant one. After her rebirth, Jiang Mi came to her senses. Rather than waste a lifetime on an Emperor whose heart would never be hers, she would find herself someone who actually cherished her. The young master of the Grand Councillor’s family — refined and courteous. The young master of the Loyal Valor Marquis’s household — gallant and handsome. The heir of the Duke Zhenguo’s estate — gentle and agreeable. Jiang Mi counted her prospects on her fingers, quietly mapping out her plans. When the Empress Dowager sought a boon from the new Emperor on her niece’s behalf, everyone assumed the Jiang family would seize the opportunity to secure Jiang Mi a place in the imperial harem. The new Emperor watched calmly as Jiang Mi, cheeks flushed, murmured in a small voice: “This subject’s daughter wishes to… to ask Your Majesty to grant her a marriage decree.” The Emperor, ordinarily so temperate and gracious, let a flash of something dangerous cross his eyes. The jade archer’s ring he had been turning idly between his fingers crumbled to dust.
