[Both leads are devoted to each other + she is his one and only + satisfying revenge] Jiang Yuluan is the eldest legitimate daughter of the Marchioness of Zhennan. She has been treated as precious since childhood, with a fierce temperament and the skill to draw a mighty bow and tame a wild horse. Lu Chenghuai, the new emperor, is a man of great talent and ambition. Jiang Yuluan is young and blinded by his handsome face. And with her family in need, she enters his harem even though she knows the emperor likely has no interest in her.
In the end, though, all her efforts come to nothing, and she pays with her life.
After being reborn, Jiang Yuluan sees things clearly. Why pin all her hopes on Lu Chenghuai? Better to inherit her family's title than become his imperial consort and end up in a bitter, ugly relationship. She can find a kind, gentle young man whose eyes are only for her. And whether she chooses one, two, or three is entirely up to her.
So when that coldhearted man asks her the same question again, Jiang Yuluan's answer is... Get lost. She'll take in a lovely, sweet-tempered, handsome young man as her husband instead. No more cold, unreasonable, jealous men like Lu Chenghuai!
But just as she's had enough and declares that she likes that pretty boy, then cruelly tells Lu Chenghuai that she'd never love him even if she died, the usually impassive emperor flies into a furious rage. Right in front of her, he threatens to kill the pretty boy for seducing a married woman...
Jiang Yuluan is dumbfounded.
Wait, what? When did she become a married woman? What?! Lu Chenghuai has been reborn too?
As Jiang Yuluan slowly comes around, she can't help thinking: Hold on... what's going on here? Was she actually the beloved of the emperor whom everyone in her previous life talked about?
