Rebirth of the Emperor's Betrayed Concubine
another concubine
it's has been 9 year tae has been coming in harem
It was a morning like any other when Tae was summoned to the **court**.
The grand hall, with its **ivory pillars** and **golden accents**, was alive with the hum of courtiers and **noble families** from all over the empire.
The air was thick with **political tension**, and Tae could already sense the stares of the other concubines and officials that lingered on her.
Jungkook sat at the throne, his presence commanding, but it wasn’t just his eyes that made her stomach twist—it was the **absence of warmth**,
The way he looked at her as though she was **invisible**. She had been summoned, but not for anything important, not for anything that would lift her status in the harem.
She had become an object—**less than human** in his eyes.
As she entered the hall, a **heavy silence** followed her.
**Eyes** turned to her, some curious, others **mocking**. Jungkook’s gaze, however, was cold and indifferent, as though her presence in the court was an afterthought. His lips curled into the faintest of smirks.
The **emperor's mother**, **Empress Dowager Min**, stood nearby.
She was a woman of power, feared by everyone in the palace, with a sharp tongue and a cold demeanor.
Tae could feel her eyes on her, watching her every move, like a hawk waiting for the right moment to strike.
Jungkook raised his hand, signaling for silence, and the room fell still.

The time has come
He began, his voice echoing off the stone walls.
jeon jungkook
We must decide the fates of the women in my harem. I will not tolerate any more distractions
His gaze turned to Tae, and she felt a **shiver run down her spine**. He hadn’t even given her the courtesy of speaking her name.
Without warning, he called her out in front of everyone, his voice clear and biting.
He said, his eyes narrowing.
jeon jungkook
You are a distraction in this court. I find your presence here… troublesome.
Sharp gasp echoed through the room. **The courtiers** exchanged glances, some of them **whispering behind their fans**.
Tae’s heart skipped in her chest.

💭.What was he saying?
jeon jungkook
You think yourself special, don't you?
Jungkook continued, his voice growing louder.
jeon jungkook
But you are just another concubine, insignificant in the grand scheme of things. I will not have my court filled with distractions.
Tae’s hands clenched into fists at her sides. **The humiliation was suffocating.** It wasn’t just the words, it was the way he said them, as though she were **beneath him**—a mere inconvenience.
Her body trembled, but she forced herself to stay composed. She could feel the **gaze of every court official** on her now, some **sneering**, others **whispering**.
jeon jungkook
If you cannot behave with dignity, you will no longer hold your place in my court
. Jungkook’s words cut deep, like a cold blade slicing through her pride
Her chest tightened, the **sting of humiliation** burning her face. She tried to speak, to defend herself, but the words stuck in her throat. It was as if she had no voice here—nothing she said would matter to him
But the **real cruelty** was yet to come. As the courtiers dispersed after the emperor’s public reprimand, **Empress Dowager Min** took her moment to strike.
She had never liked Tae—there was something in Tae's eyes, a fire that reminded her of her own lost youth, and it angered her to see someone so **unbowed** in the face of their suffering.

Tae, come here
The Empress Dowager commanded coldly, and Tae’s heart sank.
She knew what was coming. There would be no escape from this woman’s claws.
Tae approached her slowly, forcing herself to meet the Dowager’s gaze with a calmness she didn’t feel.
She had already learned that showing fear would only make things worse.
Empress Dowager Min’s smile was thin, and it was the kind of smile that made Tae’s skin crawl.

How disgraceful
The Dowager said, her tone laced with venom.
emperor's mother min\The Empress Dowager
You’ve embarrassed yourself in front of the entire court today. And I hear… rumors
She leaned in closer, her breath hot against Tae’s ear.
emperor's mother min\The Empress Dowager
That you have a deep jealousy of the unborn child in the concubine womb. That you would go so far as to harm the child to secure your own place as empress. A monstrous act, isn’t it?
Tae’s eyes widened in disbelief.
**False accusations**, **slander**—this was a trap, and she knew it.
She had never once thought of harming anyone, let alone the child of the woman who would soon become the **empress**.
But before she could speak, the Dowager continued.
emperor's mother min\The Empress Dowager
Perhaps you should leave now. Your presence here is a threat to the entire imperial family
Her words were spoken softly, but they were sharp, each one meant to **destroy** Tae’s reputation.
Tae’s mouth went dry. **False accusations**. **A plot** to ruin her.
Her body tensed, her breath coming in shallow gasps. She fought to keep her composure, but it was becoming more and more difficult.

💭.How could they think I would harm a child?
Kim taehyung (past life)
💭.It was an impossible notion. And yet, the rumors would spread.
There was nothing she could do to stop it.
The Dowager’s words echoed in her mind:
**“A monster”**, she had called her. **“A threat to the empire.”** It was the perfect plan to **eliminate** her as a threat.
