[Two Powerful Leads] [Political Intrigue] [Feel-Good Power Fantasy] [Strong Female Lead] [Revenge After Being Reborn] [Scheming Male Lead]
How did the exceedingly noble eldest princess Liu Nian end up as the villain's lovesick puppy?
The young general Zhao Yizhou had made a name for himself early and seemed like a devoted romantic. After becoming the princess's consort, he doted on her in every way. But behind closed doors, he was a genuine schemer...
In her previous life, the eldest princess Liu Nian died at the hands of Jing Li, a remnant of the fallen dynasty. She never imagined that Jing Li, whom she had loved so deeply, had used her from beginning to end and never felt the slightest bit of affection for her.
Yet it was Zhao Yizhou, whom she had looked down on and humiliated time and again, who repeatedly rescued her from danger.
Reborn, she would strike first.
She would become the villain herself, expose Jing Li's schemes one by one, and crush him beneath her heel.
Using her young brother's age as an excuse, she took control of the government and ascended to the pinnacle of power, second only to the emperor. Every official at court admired the eldest princess.
But she thought she had achieved it all through her own intelligence and cunning. She had no idea Zhao Yizhou had been secretly pulling strings all along.
"I thought being reborn was Heaven's mercy, a chance to change my ending. I thought I'd earned everything through my own efforts."
"So, Zhao Yizhou, you knew all along? Were you guiding me every step of the way?"
"Zhao Yizhou, with all your scheming, did you ever want to kill me?"
"A Nian, from beginning to end, you are all I have ever wanted. I only wanted to help you."
Zhao Yizhou had an innate desire to conquer. He wanted to possess Liu Nian completely, body and heart alike.
But as he pursued her, she seeped into his heart, drop by drop, like a torrential rainstorm.
