REBORN TO BE THE EMPEROR'S BRIDE

A thousand years before the storm ever touched my world, the empire feared only one thing— their immortal emperor. Emperor Zhao Yuchen had ruled since the founding of the dynasty. Generations were born beneath his reign, grew old beneath his shadow, and were buried while he remained unchanged. His hair never silvered. His blade never dulled. His throne never weakened. They called him Heaven’s Chosen. They whispered he was Heaven’s Punishment. For it was said that he was cursed by a witch. to live alone. He would reign beyond mortal time. But he would never hold an heir born of love. even though cursed, the emperor is still a man. And men, no matter how powerful, are not immune to longing. Years passed before he chose again. This time, the bride was not a foreign princess nor a noble pawn. She was the Prime Minister’s long forgotten daughter a girl raised among books and lotus ponds, soft-spoken yet unyielding. Yue Lian. They said she was born during a lunar eclipse, when the sky turned the color of spilled ink. They said lotus flowers bloomed out of season the day she first cried. Omens followed her like quiet attendants. Unlike the emperor’s previous brides, Yue Lian did not tremble when the decree arrived. She accepted the imperial edict with lowered eyes and steady breath. But on the night before the wedding, beneath a full and watchful moon, she walked alone to the palace lotus pool. The water reflected silver light. The blossoms were open, luminous against the dark. No guards followed her. No maids dared interrupt. By morning, her body was found beneath the surface, silk drifting around her like a fallen banner. White petals clung to her hair. Her expression was peaceful—almost resolute. The court declared it misfortune. The people called it the curse. And the emperor— The emperor said nothing. For three days she remain dead until a soul from the modern world rebirth inside her.
