Neither Falls Alone

In her past life, she rose from palace maid to empress—only to be exposed on coronation day for her secret relationship with a eunuch, Adrian. Both were executed. Then they woke up. Reborn five years earlier, she is determined to change their fate, doing everything to stop Adrian from becoming a eunuch. What she doesn't know: this time, he is only pretending. Both are trying to protect each other in their own way. Together, they expose the prime minister's treason. And when the throne is offered to her? She refuses. She chooses to marry the man she loves—not as an empress, but as a free woman.
