Sophia Brown, the illegitimate daughter of the Brown family, entered the palace alongside her legitimate sister Emily Brown. However, after consuming a beauty-enhancing soup, Emily incurred the jealousy of Isabella Smith, who disfigured her face. Despite enduring numerous hardships, Sophia ultimately ascended to the position of empress. As empress, she rescued Emily, only to be killed by her, and in her final moments, she discovered the truth that the Browns had murdered her birth mother. Sophia was reborn on the day before entering the palace. Emily also regained memories of her past life and forced Sophia to drink the beauty-enhancing soup, attempting to transfer her tragic fate to her sister. On the night of their entry into the palace, Sophia devised a plan to delay the abuse from Isabella, successfully gaining the emperor’s rescue and favor. She was conferred the title of consort and adeptly formed an alliance with the empress, engaging in a fierce rivalry with Isabella and Emily. Having been empress in her previous life, Sophia possessed profound understanding of the emperor’s harem and court politics. Through her cunning, she deepened the emperor’s love for her, united the harem to undermine Isabella‘s influence, and personally journeyed to the northern border to devise a strategy that eliminated the rebellious the Smith family, who had amassed military power. Finally, she exposed Emily’s crimes and avenged her mother. In this life, she was once again crowned empress, spending the rest of her life with the emperor without any regrets.
