Rebirth of the Emperor's Betrayed Concubine
I didn't do it!
Later that evening, Tae returned to her chambers, alone, feeling as though her **entire world had crumbled**.
Her once vibrant spirit had been **crushed**, trampled beneath the weight of the emperor’s indifference and the **empress dowager's cruelty**.
The court had turned against her, and now she was branded as a **dangerous** woman—one who would harm a child, the future of the empire.
Her hands trembled as she slowly undressed, each piece of clothing falling to the floor like a symbol of her dignity being taken away.
She could hear the distant whispers of the concubines, the ones who would undoubtedly spread the rumors further.
**It was over**. There was no way to prove her innocence, no way to clear her name.
She sank to her knees, the tears flowing freely now. The weight of the betrayal was suffocating.
Kim taehyung (past life)
How could this happen?
She whispered to herself.
Kim taehyung (past life)
Why does it have to be me?
Her heart ached, not just from the pain of **humiliation** but from the realization that the man she had loved, the emperor she had once trusted, had **abandoned her** without a second thought.
And now, he was allowing this **wickedness** to fester in the court. She had become a **pawn**, a victim of a cruel game she didn’t even fully understand.
But as her tears fell, something inside her hardened. **She would not go down without a fight.**
Kim taehyung (past life)
I will make them see the truth,
Tae swore, her voice low but resolute.
Kim taehyung (past life)
I will make Jungkook see who they really are.
The days that followed the **false accusations** were filled with nothing but **oppression** and fear for Tae.
The walls of the **imperial palace** grew even higher, and the court's whispers grew louder. **Empress Dowager Min** had secured her victory—she had orchestrated Tae’s fall.
Every movement she made, every breath she took, felt like it was under the watchful eye of those who sought her downfall. There was no escape.
In the days leading up to her death, Jungkook barely spared a glance at her.
He was no longer the man she had once loved, the man who had promised To be her the throne. He was now a **shadow**, cold and detached.
Tae’s heart had died the moment she realized that his **indifference** was not just the result of political pressure or scheming—it was his true nature.
Each time she tried to speak with him, to plead for her innocence, he ignored her.
One morning, after yet another failed attempt to reach him, Tae stood before the emperor, her heart breaking under the weight of the lies. She **knelt before him**,
Trembling slightly, her head lowered. The pain of being dismissed, of seeing him so **emotionless**, cut deep into her soul.
Kim taehyung (past life)
Jungkook,
She whispered, her voice barely audible, as she fought to keep her composure.
Kim taehyung (past life)
Please, I didn’t do it. I would never harm a child.
Jungkook’s gaze was cold, distant, as he looked at her.
jeon jungkook
You’ve made your own bed, Tae.
His words were flat, lifeless. He didn’t even flinch at her desperate plea.
jeon jungkook
The court has spoken, and your actions have consequences,
He continued, his eyes moving away from her as though she were nothing more than an inconvenient presence.
jeon jungkook
You’ve lost your place here.
Tae’s breath hitched, the sting of betrayal so sharp it felt like a physical wound.
Kim taehyung (past life)
I loved you,
She said, her voice cracking.
Kim taehyung (past life)
Trusted you. How could you do this to me?
But he didn’t answer. He simply **turned away**, dismissing her with a wave of his hand, as though she was no longer worth his time.
The emperor, her beloved Jungkook, was gone, replaced by an emperor who had **forgotten her**—who had turned his back on her.
Tae’s heart shattered. She fell to the ground, her body trembling with a mixture of rage and grief.
She wanted to scream, to tear at the walls, to demand **justice** for the life that had been stolen from her. But there was no one to listen.
The court had already decided her fate, and there was nothing she could do to change it.
The whispers in the harem grew louder. The **other concubines**, once friendly, now eyed her with disdain, their words venomous.
They saw her as a threat, someone who had once been promised the throne and who now represented the emperor’s **weakness**.
They spoke openly of her disgrace, of the **child she had supposedly tried to harm**, and the **guilt** that stained her reputation.
One of the concubines sneered, watching Tae as she passed through the harem halls.
？？？
A monster. And now the emperor has turned his back on her.
? ? ?
It was never meant to be,
Another whispered, her eyes glinting with the pleasure of Tae’s fall.
? ? ?
Now she knows her place.
Their words pierced through her like daggers.
**The isolation** she felt was suffocating. The life she had known, the one she had fought so hard to maintain, was gone.
The final blow came one evening when Tae was summoned to the **Empress Dowager's chambers**. Trembling, she stepped inside, her heart heavy with dread.
She had long suspected that the Dowager had orchestrated the events leading to her disgrace, but she hadn’t yet known the full extent of the plot.
Empress Dowager Min sat in her grand chair, a **satisfied smile** on her lips as she watched Tae enter. The walls seemed to close in on her.
emperor's mother min\The Empress Dowager
Tae, do you know why you're here?
The Dowager asked, her voice dripping with mock sweetness.
Tae swallowed hard, **her body rigid with fear**.
Kim taehyung (past life)
Why?
She asked, her voice weak, barely audible.
She could feel the overwhelming sense of **doom** wrapping around her.
The Dowager leaned forward, her eyes narrowing.
emperor's mother min\The Empress Dowager
You’re here to confess.
Tae’s brow furrowed in confusion.
Kim taehyung (past life)
Confess? Confess to what?
emperor's mother min\The Empress Dowager
To the crime you’ve committed,
The Dowager said with a sinister calmness.
emperor's mother min\The Empress Dowager
You tried to harm the emperor’s son. You tried to kill him, didn’t you? You tried to eliminate the heir.
Kim taehyung (past life)
No!
She shouted, her voice desperate, her heart racing with the fury of the accusation.
Kim taehyung (past life)
I didn’t do it! You know I didn’t!
But the Dowager was unmoved.
emperor's mother min\The Empress Dowager
It’s too late for you, Tae,
She said, her tone cold and unforgiving.
emperor's mother min\The Empress Dowager
The emperor has already made his decision. And now, you will pay for your betrayal of the imperial family.
Before Tae could respond, the guards moved in swiftly, grabbing her arms and dragging her away. Her body struggled, but the guards were too strong.
Her mind raced, thoughts swirling in a storm of confusion and heartbreak.

What does this mean? Does it have a similar meaning to 'You dug your own grave'? Because bed can mean deathbed too.

I wish, when she is reborn, it is before the old emperor's death. That way, maybe she can leave for somewhere far before she has to enter the harem. Even better if she is reborn before the old emperor saw her and made the "promise" that led to everything. The promise that his son would not fulfill.
