The Emperor's Prisoner
Prologues

"Wine! There's no more time!" the cry of one of the crowd around me sounded faint. The atmosphere of the streets that had been quiet suddenly crowded accompanied by noise. The warm liquid was continuously pouring out of my head which I believed was blood. Pain and pain throughout the body. Even moving one finger is hard. My breath was also stifled. My blurry gaze was fixed on someone standing on the 17th floor. He looked at me for a moment and then turned around. The biggest smile on my lips.

Is this the karma God gave me? Killed by my own co-worker?, my mind chuckles inwardly. Even before death, I still felt pain and suffering. Slowly my eyes felt heavy. Finally my life ended, my eyes were closed tightly and the sounds around me disappeared.

That was the end of my previous life. Then when I woke up again I was in a foreign place with a new identity. My name still remains Li Jihyun exactly the same in her previous life but with a different version. I was born in the Chinese Empire. The youngest of seven children who are all men. My father was a prime minister known as a good man throughout the empire. My mother died while giving birth to me. They should have hated my birth but the opposite happened. I was made the family's favorite daughter. My second life went well without any obstacles. Especially the place I live in is quiet and peaceful. Different from previous life. Although I did not forget the events in his previous life. By bringing memories in my previous life I had no trouble whatsoever.

It's just that sometimes people mistake me for a genius. Like when I was 5 years old but I could read and write. Even though my writing is still a mess. But it was the most appalling event for the empire when I was 15 years old that could solve the problems faced by the empire. Examples of droughts, floods, famine outbreaks and much more. Sometimes I am summoned by the emperor or other officials just to discuss if there is a problem.

My name was instantly famous throughout the empire even I heard it reaching across the country. I was also hailed by the people as a drop of god. But that calmness lasted for a while. When I turned 17, there was a tragedy.

In an instant the new emperor whom I knew by name Long Jian managed to occupy the throne and lead the Qing Long empire. He was the tyrant emperor who massacred all the members of the previous emperor's family as well as the family members who had once participated in the war. And next is my turn. Is this the end of my life again?, my mind sighed. Now he's sitting in his solo seat right in front of me. Just looking at it made me sick and disgusted especially when it remembered that he was slaughtering families and people in the empire. I wanted to torture him slowly to death. But I can't remember my position right now.

“From now on you are my concubine, Li Jihyun.” His words that sounded like lightning in a hole. My eyes immediately glared. “If you refuse then the entire imperial people and the remaining palace dwellers will be annihilated. Now the choice is in your hands. Become my concubine or a massacre?”

Although I hate to say it but there is no other choice. “Good. I agree to be your concubine.” A grin was seen on his face. I know what his expression means. But he definitely wouldn't have thought that I, Li Jihyun, was the reincarnation of an assassin. I will definitely conquer the palace sooner or later. Revenge will begin soon.
