Synopsis

[Both leads are inexperienced + groveling pursuit after losing her + forced love + simmering tension]

Jiang Jinhuan, the most beautiful woman in Huainan, was born with otherworldly beauty that drew the sons of officials and merchants to her like moths to a flame. But born into a family of imperial merchants and spoiled by her parents, she grew into a spoiled, willful young lady good for nothing.

On the day she came of age, she received devastating news: the Jiang family’s true daughter, Jiang Shiyuan, had returned. Jiang Jinhuan was merely an adopted daughter.

Watching the three of them enjoy a happy family reunion, she was consumed by jealousy. She rejected her childhood friend Shen Xufeng’s confession, then drugged Pei Yi’an, the valiant Marquis, who was already betrothed to Jiang Shiyuan. In front of everyone, she accused Pei Yi’an of forcing himself on her, backing him into marrying her.

Pei Yi’an despised Jiang Jinhuan’s scheming. After their marriage, he went to serve at the frontier and did not return for five years. Jiang Jinhuan loved him obsessively and tried repeatedly to win him back. After being disappointed time and again, she decided to take revenge.

She repeated her old trick, seducing Shen Xufeng into an affair and leaving Jiang Shiyuan in such misery that she went far away. Pei Yi’an petitioned to divorce her, and Jiang Jinhuan lost all hope. She spent her days at male brothels, available to anyone. Her parents died tragically after their business was seized, overcome with grief over her. When she went to collect their bodies, the prefect forcibly took her and tormented her day and night.

Meanwhile, Pei Yi’an won victory after victory at the frontier and lived in perfect harmony with the military physician Jiang Shiyuan, much to everyone’s envy.

Jiang Shiyuan enjoyed a glowing reputation among the people, while Jiang Jinhuan’s name was utterly reviled.

On the verge of death, she finally saw the light. She swore she would never ruin her life for a man again. She would help others find happiness, honor her parents, and never let the tragedy of her previous life happen again.

But after being reborn, she was horrified to discover that she had returned to the moment she drugged Pei Yi’an. This...

He was furious and imperious, while she regarded him with contempt!

She did everything she could to avoid him, but he pursued her relentlessly…

Looking for Palace Intrigue Novels. The Setting Must Be in the Blurb, So Read It First. Don't Recommend Ones That Aren't

I'd like to give more detailed preferences to make it easier for everyone to find books they're actually interested in. Palace-intrigue story: the heroine is crafty and resourceful, but won't provoke others unless they provoke her. The emperor favors her, and eventually she becomes his one and only. She falls in love with him in the end, and the story should be logical. Has anyone read Ye Yun? I'm looking for something like that.
