[Sweet romance after an arranged marriage / devoted couple / reborn female rival / two powerful leads]
[General’s daughter vs. reborn emperor]
Lin Yuan was born into a prominent family, cherished by her father and brothers, and promised in marriage to an excellent match. Her good fortune came to an abrupt end when her cousin joined the household.
Her cousin was a chosen one reborn with the advantage of knowing what lay ahead. She stole Lin Yuan’s marriage match, framed her father and brothers, and even drove Lin Yuan into a brothel.
Fortunately, Lin Yuan had eyes that could glimpse the future.
She saw through her cousin’s schemes, saved her family’s lives, and gave her cousin the “good marriage” that had originally been meant for her. Then she turned around and married a disabled man!
Her cousin didn’t know that the dynasty was on the brink of collapse, and that the disabled heir was destined to become the emperor who would unite the realm!
Xie Junyao, founding emperor of Great Yan, was a brilliant military commander who defended and expanded the borders, subdued the surrounding tribes, and ushered in the prosperous Yongyuan era.
He excelled in both civil and military affairs, able to pacify the realm with force and govern it with wisdom. Yet he never took a wife or a concubine, and died young.
When he opened his eyes, he found himself a hundred years in the future, in the Yan kingdom.
He had been reborn in the body of Xie Junyao, the legitimate eldest son of the current prince.
When he learned that Great Yan’s current emperor had been driven south by the Xiongnu cavalry and was now confined to a corner of the realm, the founding emperor laughed in disbelief.
He had built Great Yan. He could overthrow it, too!
As for his breathtaking new bride, the founding emperor Xie Junyao regarded her with utter disdain. Women would only slow down his rebellion!
Later, His Majesty the Emperor held his wife close around the waist night after night. “A Yuan, shall we do it again?”
