Cousin, May All Be Well

Shen Nanhui and Ji Hengyu, the heir to the Prince of Qiyang, are cousins who grew up together. Ji Hengyu is radiant and impossibly handsome, and the noblewomen of Luoyang envy Shen Nanhui for having the advantage of being so close to him. Everyone in the prince’s household knows she loves him, but what they don’t know is that her cousin loathes her and can barely stand her. When her cousin returns from his travels, he brings back a beautiful woman. Uninhibited and carefree, she invents all sorts of strange and wonderful things. She boasts that she can help her cousin conquer the realm, and even insults Shen Nanhui: “Women shackled by feudal society are backward, vicious, and stupid.” But in the next instant, she dies at Ji Hengyu’s hands. He says, “Why did you ever think I was a good person? And how could you ever compare to her?” * Ji Hengyu was once a rebel prince who rose against the Great Wei and founded the Great Xuan dynasty. In the eyes of the people, he was a wise ruler who ushered in a golden age. The history books say he had neither wife nor heirs. But Ji Hengyu was no wise ruler. He killed his father and mother, and stained his hands with the blood of countless close relatives. Branded a tyrant and holding the power of life and death over the realm, he was on the verge of conquering the remaining barbarian states when he suddenly died of poisoning, only to be reborn? Being reborn was one thing, but why did he now have a cousin? At first, he’s confused and suspicious, ready to kill her just in case. Later: Well, maybe she isn’t so bad. Shen Nanhui: “At first, I only liked my cousin’s face...” Ji Hengyu: ? Transmigrate-into-a-book passerby: ? Who gets it? A political intrigue novel aimed at men gets a transmigrated heroine and turns into a romance novel aimed at women. Then the hero is reborn and it becomes a childhood-sweetheart romance. I’m losing it. How many layers deep does this go? #The male lead is reborn, the heroine is a native, the second female lead transmigrates, and a passerby transmigrates into a book to ship the couple
