The Ruthless Crown Prince and His Mad Princess

[Two strong leads who clash and love to hate each other + reborn redemption and revenge + a satisfying tale of crushing the wicked]

Ao Tayou was once Liang's brightest rising star, but out of her obsessive love for the Crown Prince, she willingly broke her own wings and became the Eastern Palace's instrument of murder.

A consort dead in suspicious circumstances, an imperial heir lost... burdened by one bloody debt after another, she was ultimately repaid with a cup of poisoned wine personally bestowed by the Crown Prince.

When she opened her eyes again, she was back at the moment the Crown Prince was asking His Majesty to grant him a marriage.

She swore: stay away from the Crown Prince, avoid factional strife, live as a decent and kind person, protect her loved ones, and enjoy a peaceful life.

But when she hid her ferocity and pretended to be a gentle young lady, Prince Yong, Chu Junmo, who was famously cold and ruthless, seemed determined to oppose her at every turn.

She took a delicate step, and he sneered, “General Ao, is walking harder for you than chopping someone with a blade?”

She tended the flowers, and he scoffed, “You wield that garden hoe like you're decapitating someone. Your killing intent is still showing.”

She endured and gave way, but he insisted on exposing her scars in public: “Was the half-sister you personally beat to death with a staff also an enemy spy?”

Ao Tayou finally lost her patience. She pinned him against the palace wall, blade at his throat. “Chu Junmo, what exactly do you want?”

Prince Yong lowered his eyes and smiled. His fingertips brushed the hand gripping her knife. “Why pretend to be virtuous and refined? I love watching you go mad with a blade in your hand.”

He tore away her disguise and blocked every escape, all to force out the spirited female general who haunted his dreams.
