The Empress Who Remembered Tomorrow

A regent’s wife wakes on the morning of the hearing that will destroy her family with three days remaining – and she has already attended every version of those three days four hundred times.

Song Yining, 33, has lived the same three days four hundred times. On each repetition her husband is stripped of his position, her household is seized, and by the dawn of day four her family name is extinct. She has tried negotiation, flight, confession, silence and violence. On repetition four hundred and one she opens the day by doing something she has never tried: telling her husband the truth.
