The Misunderstood

Lu Yueyin was an empress of the highest rank, but she had never imagined she was a character in a book, a scapegoat concealing the affair between Emperor Gu Longyu and the Empress Dowager. Even the adopted son she had raised as her own was their child. In the end, the person she believed to be her closest sister was the one who sent her to her death. Reborn into a new life, she had hoped to escape. But Gu Longyu had also returned, vowing to drag her back into the abyss of her past life. A man who suddenly appeared pulled her into his arms. Flames flickered across his curved lashes, like flecks of gold. He looked coldly at Gu Longyu, who was behaving like a clown, and said, “That's it? Your taste wasn't much better back then!” The first time they met, he swindled her out of ten thousand taels of silver. The second time, she fell flat on her back right in front of him. The third time, she was forced to spend the night sleeping in his arms. Later, he pulled Lu Yueyin into his embrace. His crimson eyes gleamed like shadowy rubies. He was clearly a bundle of nerves, but still managed to sound arrogantly smug. “If you ask me, why not marry me? I suppose I could reluctantly give you all my money.”
