After Faking My Death, the Villain I Reformed Still Turned Evil

When Liu Yanran opened her eyes, she found herself in a book as a cannon-fodder supporting actress. Her entire family had helped drive the chosen villain down the path of darkness. Once he fully embraced his evil side and reclaimed his family heritage, he was going to kill every one of them.

Determined not to meet the same tragic fate as the original Liu Yanran, she decided to reform the villain and guide him onto the right path. But after he reclaimed his heritage, he fell for her instead.

But he was going to become emperor! Wouldn’t that mean three thousand beauties in his harem, and her having to fight a crowd of women over one man?

Absolutely not!

The tyrant emperor issued an edict making her the crown prince’s consort? Fine, she’d play along for now. When he decided to take concubines, she’d quietly slip away.

On the day the new emperor took a consort, the empress died in childbirth. The emperor’s hair turned white overnight. Cradling the little crown prince she had borne, he wept bitterly and decided to abolish the imperial harem.

Years later, their eyes met across a street. When Gu Churan saw the woman holding the hand of another little boy who looked just like his own son, he completely lost his mind.

So she hadn’t died. She had only wanted to leave him, and she’d taken one of his children with her!

From then on, rumors spread that a beauty was imprisoned in the new emperor’s harem. She looked exactly like the late empress and was kept as her replacement, a mere plaything for the emperor.

Only Liu Yanran knew that every night, one particular scoundrel would look at her with red-rimmed eyes and ask plaintively, “Why don’t you want me? What did I do wrong? I can change. Please don’t go, all right?”
