[Graceful and Regal Eldest Princess & Scheming, Ruthless Grand Tutor & Talented Commoner]
{Alternate history, female lead's harem, please don't read too much into it} Love triangle. If you don't like it, please don't criticize.
In her previous life, Shangguan Shiwan indulged in wine and pleasure, adored by everyone. There was nothing in the world she couldn't get. When she took a fancy to the eldest son of the Pei family, she simply stole him away from his wedding, effortlessly ruining another's match. She was called the most incorrigible playboy in the world. But good times never lasted. Everything changed abruptly: imperial power declined, her family died, her friends betrayed her, and she met a humiliating death...
Pei Huanzhi was born into a humble family and became famous in the capital at fifteen. Everyone said he was a gentleman as lovely as jade. Reserved by nature, he happened to meet the Eldest Princess, who took a fancy to him. Through threats and inducements, he became the most humiliated consort in history. As time passed, he fell in love, but never once spoke of it. Deceived by others, he grew estranged from the princess. In the end, he could only watch his wife seek pleasure after their marriage, while he was confined to his study and forced to wield an iron hand at court to support her.
Everyone said Fu Junlin had a heart of stone, yet he treated the Eldest Princess differently from everyone else.
Reborn, Shangguan Shiwan decided to give up being a playboy and become a powerful minister instead. With a single sentence, she overcame obstacle after obstacle and changed her fate, only to discover that things were nothing like they had been in her previous life. Had she changed, and would everyone else change along with her? Just as she declared she would never again be tempted by beauty, she met Pei Huanzhi once more. At the same time, she also discovered that there was another person by her side.
"Pei Huanzhi, this time, I'll let you go."
"This humble minister is willing to follow Your Highness for the rest of his life."
