Reborn to marry, she no longer wants to be the young master's mother

The palace's glazed tiles shone with a cold and mysterious luster under the moonlight. Xie Chaochao stood alone in her bedroom. The occasional chirping of night birds outside the window added to her loneliness and uneasiness. She gently stroked her bulging belly, where a new life was being nurtured, a miracle that she vowed to protect with all her might.

"This child," she said in a low and firm voice, as if she was making a promise to herself and to the silent night, "no matter how bumpy the road ahead is, she must come into this world safely." There was a maternal light in her eyes, a complex emotion that combined unquestionable tenacity and tenderness.

In the dead of night, Xie Chaochao's thoughts surged like a tide. She knew that she was at the center of the vortex of power, and every decision was related to life and death. The imperial power changed, and the situation was changing. She didn't want her child to be involved in this endless struggle as soon as he was born. So, a bold and resolute idea quietly took root in her heart - let Chu Heng, the man who had always been silently guarding her, who was both wise and brave and caring about the world, sit on the supreme throne instead of her.

Once this idea came into being, it spread like wildfire and could not be stopped. Xie Chaochao began to plan carefully, taking every step carefully, to ensure that Chu Heng could ascend the throne smoothly and to protect her children from any harm. She knew that this was not just a transfer of power, but also a test of the deep feelings between the two and a major decision on the future fate of the country.

In the following days, Xie Chaochao and Chu Heng met secretly in a secret room with flickering candlelight, and the two discussed the plan. She told Chu Heng all her ideas, and Chu Heng was surprised, but then deeply moved. He knew that behind this decision was Xie Chaochao's deep love for her children and her careful consideration for the future of the country.

"Chaochao, don't worry, I will not let you down." Chu Heng's voice was firm and warm. He held Xie Chaochao's hand tightly, as if conveying silent strength and promise.

From then on, the two went hand in hand and laid out an exquisite chess game in the undercurrent of the palace. Not only did they have to face obstructions and traps from all sides, but they also had to carefully protect the unborn life. In this exciting and challenging journey, their love and trust became the most solid armor, leading them step by step towards an unknown tomorrow.

Deep in the ancient and solemn imperial city. Chu Heng, a general wearing armor and with a resolute look, stood in front of the screen with carved dragons and painted phoenixes. His figure looked particularly tall and lonely under the flickering candlelight. Facing Xie Chaochao, who was tearful but tenacious, his heart was filled with complex emotions.

"Chao Chao, I know that you care about the world, and I know that the baby in your belly is the hope for the future of the empire." Chu Heng's voice was low and magnetic, and every word sounded like a promise after careful consideration. "I, Chu Heng, am willing to use this iron-blooded body to temporarily sit on the dragon throne in your place until your child is safely born, and then you can personally take over this heavy authority."

Xie Chaochao's eyes were filled with tears and gratitude. She gently stroked her bulging belly, where the hope and dream for the future were nurtured. "Brother Heng, I will never forget your kindness. But please remember, this is not my escape, but for a broader future. When the baby is born, I will protect this land as a mother and live up to your wishes." Her voice was soft, but it revealed an unquestionable determination.

Outside the window, the night wind was a bit chilly, but it also seemed to be whispering about this solemn agreement. Chu Heng stepped forward and gently held Xie Chaochao's hand. Their eyes met at this moment. No need to say more, their feelings for each other were completely clear.

"From this moment on, I will transform into a shadow and guard you and the child until the light reappears." Chu Heng's words were like a vow, echoing in the secret room and deeply engraved in the hearts of the two.

As the door of the secret room slowly closed, a legendary story about power, sacrifice and love began. Chu Heng, with his wisdom and courage, turned the tide in the court, while Xie Chaochao quietly accumulated strength in the dark to prepare for the upcoming challenges. Although the two were in different positions, they were like twin stars shining together to illuminate the future of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Xie Chaochao and Long Bo walked side by side into the deep harem, passed through the long corridors with carved beams and painted buildings, and finally found a quiet and elegant residence to settle down. The moonlight shone through the window lattices, casting mottled light and shadows, adding a bit of warmth and mystery to this quiet night.

Long Bo gently stroked his beard, looked at Xie Chaochao with deep eyes, and slowly said: "Chaochao, do you know that when I proposed to let Chu Heng ascend the throne of the emperor, did I have any worries in my heart? Everyone knows that power can easily tempt people, and I am afraid that once he gains power, he will rebel."

Hearing this, Xie Chaochao narrowed her eyes slightly, and a faint but firm smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She said softly: "How could Chaochao not know what Long Bo is worried about? However, although human hearts are complicated and changeable, they are not completely unpredictable. I have observed Chu Heng's actions and listened to his words. I know that his ambition is not for his own desires, but for the people of the world. If he can really be a king, he will be able to rule the country with benevolence and benefit all people."

She paused, her tone becoming more profound and trusting. "Besides, a true king does not use force to suppress others, but should win the support of the people with virtue. Since we have chosen him, we should believe that he can take on this important task. As for the rebellion, it is not something he can do alone. We need to see what the people want. If he can really win the hearts of the people, why should we be afraid of the change in the future?"

Hearing this, Long Bo's eyes flashed with approval. He nodded gently and said with a smile: "Chao Chao's words make sense. I was overthinking. You are strong-willed and insightful. You are really lucky for our Long family. In this case, let's assist Chu Heng together and see how he writes a glorious chapter in the world."

After saying that, the two smiled at each other. The tacit understanding and trust quietly blossomed in the night, like the brightest stars in the night sky, illuminating each other's way forward.

Deep inside the magnificent palace, the moonlight penetrated the complicated window lattices like a thread and sprinkled on Xie Chaochao's shoulders, adding a bit of gentle and tenacious brilliance to her. She gently opened her lips, her voice was soft but with a force that could not be ignored, and said to the man next to her, Chu Heng, who was about to step onto the throne and become the most powerful person among thousands of people, "It's okay, Chu Heng. This country is under your control, and you will definitely do better and further than a weak woman like me."
