The Emperor's Cloaked Convict Queen

Jiang Yunshu's uncle and cousin wanted the family silk trade, the largest in Jingzhou, and Yunshu had inherited it as an orphan. They accused her of smuggling salt. By then she had met a traveller named Xiao Jingheng and fallen in love with him without knowing he was the emperor, so she made herself look faithless to him and broke it off, because the accusation would have reached him too. She was imprisoned and gave birth to a daughter, Mingyue, in the cell. Wanting a better life for the child than the prison, she sent Mingyue out to find her father. Mingyue picked him out in a crowd and called him father in front of everyone. Xiao Jingheng brought Yunshu into the palace, but the misunderstanding between them was never cleared up, and he kept his distance and sent her to the cold palace.
