Synopsis

[Both leads are reborn + sister-in-law and brother-in-law + an aloof beauty brought down from her pedestal + emotional push and pull + winning her heart and her body + devoted couple]

The Eastern Palace has no crown prince, and the princes are locked in a fierce struggle for the throne.

Ning Miao and Yan Mobai are the top strategists of their generation, each serving a different master.

They cross paths over a map of iron mines and kill each other.

Only after her death does Ning Miao learn that Prince Kang, to whom she swore eternal loyalty, is a despicable, poisonous villain.

He also orchestrated the mutual murder between her and Yan Mobai.

After being reborn, she hurries to get away from the villain.

But by then, Prince Kang has already poisoned her.

And the key ingredient for the antidote is umbilical cord blood from a child of her nemesis, Yan Mobai.

Her nemesis is cold, aloof, and utterly unfeeling, with not even a female mosquito around him. Where would he get a child?

She has no choice but to take matters into her own hands.

Her nemesis's elder brother is unconscious and needs a celebratory marriage to ward off bad luck, so she quickly plots to marry him and becomes her nemesis's sister-in-law.

She has no intention of living as a widow. She needs to conceive a child with her nemesis...

[PS 1: The female lead is reborn first; the male lead is reborn later.]

[PS 2: The female lead only thinks umbilical cord blood is the antidote, but it isn't. Don't worry, it's a great read!]

It's seriously amazing! I've been searching for gems in the Tomato Book series every day, and I finally found this one. The tension between the male and female leads is intense, and the female lead is so good at flirting; I'm totally smitten. Despite knowing the female lead harbored many suspicious qualities, the male lead couldn't control his attraction.

This is the first time I've proactively reviewed a novel. With fifteen years of reading experience, this book is truly worth reading—the kind that will keep you up all night! Both the male and female leads are incredibly intelligent and emotionally intelligent, and most importantly, the plot is genuinely captivating!

Super good! I'll definitely follow it! 🤦 I also want to read the author's other novels! I was so surprised to find out this is the author's first novel. The writing level doesn't seem like that of a complete beginner. It's really good. I feel like I'm experiencing it myself. I love both the male and female leads. It's not mindless at all. The plot is very logical, and I want to keep reading.

Well written! No one is a fool! There are many foreshadowing elements, and some plot points that seem illogical at first glance are explained later. Everyone has their own calculations; there aren't any one-dimensional, one-dimensional villains who simply "harm others for the sake of harming others." I initially gave it a perfect score, but the epilogue was a complete disaster.

It's really good! Why is the rating so low? First of all, the premise is very appealing. I love the girl-chasing-boy trope, and the female lead is very smart. The male lead is also very smart and loves to overthink things. I enjoy watching the male lead's facade slowly crumble, seeing him gradually become jealous and driven to madness.

This is seriously amazing! Don't let the low rating fool you. The male lead is so swoon-worthy; he holds her captive, and she clings to his waist. Their relationship moves so fast, wow! I hope the author updates four times a day!! It's absolutely incredible!!!

It's absolutely amazing! Before, when I first started reading novels, I'd give them 4 or 5 stars regardless of whether they were good or bad. But I realized that was a waste of time and energy for newcomers. This rare romance novel gets a perfect score from me because the female lead is incredibly smart, and the male lead is incredibly difficult to win over.

This is an absolutely fantastic book! It's the best I've read in all the years I've been a Tomato fan, bar none. I eagerly await each new chapter, and when there's no update, I start reading from the beginning again. It's full of foreshadowing and is worth reading repeatedly to savor every detail. The author's writing is superb.

I enjoyed the intense tug-of-war between the male and female leads. They truly understand each other, and misunderstandings are resolved quickly without any particularly melodramatic scenes. There aren't any particularly malicious female supporting characters either; there is one, but she's written out of the story quite early 😂. I also liked the pace of their relationship.

Amazing!!! The male and female leads are a master of wits and courage!! The female lead is incredibly clear-headed!! I didn't like it at first after reading the synopsis; I thought it was a pseudo-incest story, but it turns out it's a pseudo-incest story in this kind of way—super good!!! The writing is excellent!!
