Dikhianati dan dibunuh oleh suami serta sahabatnya sendiri, Chu Xia terbangun di masa lalu, terjebak dalam tubuh Selir Xian—seorang selir yang mati akibat racun dari Permaisuri. Selir Xian yang terbuang di sudut harem ini adalah korban persaingan kejam di istana. Namun, Chu Xia bukanlah wanita yang mudah menyerah. Dengan memanfaatkan kecerdasannya yang modern, ia merencanakan kebangkitan dan membangun kekuasaan di tempat yang tak memberi ruang untuk kelemahan. Apa yang tak diketahui oleh orang-orang di sekitarnya, termasuk Kaisar yang telah lama mengabaikannya, adalah bahwa kehadiran Chu Xia dalam tubuh ini telah diramalkan sejak lama—sebuah ramalan kelam yang menyebutkan bahwa Kaisar muda takkan hidup lama. Di tengah permainan intrik istana, Chu Xia tak hanya bertarung demi dirinya, tapi juga memegang kunci takdir sang Kaisar. Akankah dia menjadi penentu kehancuran, atau penyelamat Kaisar yang pernah membuangnya?

Eu morri no meu aniversário, mas os meus pais e o meu marido não perceberam. Eles estavam ocupados demais, dedicando toda a atenção para planejar a festa de aniversário da minha irmã gêmea, Esme Shaw. Enquanto ela estava cercada por pessoas ajudando-a a escolher um vestido, eu fui amarrada e jogada no porão. Com a pouca força que me restava, forcei meus dedos quebrados a digitar o código—9395. Era um sinal que meu marido, Edwin Grant, e eu tínhamos combinado. Era uma forma direta de pedir ajuda em caso de perigo. Nunca pensei que um dia realmente precisaria dele. Mas quando enviei, ele não acreditou em mim. Sua resposta foi fria: "Claudia, está fazendo um espetáculo só porque não te levei pra comprar um vestido novo?" Você ainda pode usar o vestido do ano passado. Pare de arrumar confusão. Te vejo na festa mais tarde.” O que ele não sabia era que Esme já havia destruído aquele vestido em pedaços. Ele não tinha ideia de que eu parti logo após desligar. A celebração começou e eu não estava presente. Um alvoroço tomou conta da sala quando viram o presente que eu tinha preparado para a Esme com antecedência.

Casada há cinco anos, Luísa jamais imaginou que o próprio marido teria coragem de pedir que ela o "compartilhasse" com outra mulher. — Ela é muito importante para mim. Quero que você aceite a existência dela. — Disse ele. E ainda completou. — Contanto que você concorde, será para sempre a Sra. Monteiro. Ninguém jamais vai abalar a sua posição. Ela o conheceu quando estava no auge da desgraça. Rodrigo se casou com ela, a mimou, a encheu de cuidados. Luísa sempre acreditou que ninguém poderia amá-la mais do que ele. Mas agora descobria que tudo não passava de uma grande piada. Rodrigo nunca pensou que a mulher que ele havia cuidado com tanto carinho teria a ousadia de pedir o divórcio. Ele não a impediu, cedeu à teimosia dela, certo de que, ao não conseguir viver sem ele, ela voltaria para implorar seu retorno. Mas Luísa, apesar de ter um nome delicado, tinha um gênio forte. Preferiu se chocar contra a vida até sangrar, do que olhar para trás. — Você não consegue ceder, nem uma vez? — Perguntou ele. Mais tarde, Luísa cedeu. E foi justamente nessa vez que desapareceu por completo do mundo dele. Depois disso, Rodrigo, que nunca havia sentido medo antes, descobriu o que era estar aterrorizado. Mais adiante, Luísa apareceu diante dele de braços dados com outro homem. — Luísa, como você pode ser tão cruel? — Com os olhos vermelhos, Rodrigo disse, a encurralando contra a porta, tomado pela loucura da saudade.

I knew there was no escaping it. My father’s sins would be my undoing. He was a wicked man, feared and hated by many, and now that he was dead, the weight of his crimes had fallen squarely on me. I didn’t even have the chance to grieve—or to breathe—before his Beta dragged me away from the south, from everything I’d ever known. I was supposed to be their Alpha. That was my birthright. But it didn’t matter. The pack had other plans for me, and being their leader wasn’t one of them. My father’s Beta delivered me to the northern Alphas, the very men who despised my father the most. And that’s when I learned the cruelest truth: they were my mates. But they didn’t want me. Warning: This is a reverse harem mild dark romance filled with intense emotions and themes that are not for the faint of heart. Read at your own risk.

One night, while I'm sound asleep, she suddenly stands by my bed and calls my name, "Melissa, are you asleep?" Having been awakened by her, I shoot her an annoyed glare, but she just says, "See?

However, near the end of the lecture, she suddenly bursts into the room and asks the professor, "I wasn't here today, so why does it show I was marked present? Is the system down?"

Devastated, I climb onto the rooftop late at night. When I open my eyes again, I'm back to the night when my roommate first asked if I was asleep.
