[Rival suitors + regretful pursuit + devoted to each other + master manipulator]
In her previous life, she married the third prince, whom the emperor had brought back from among the common people.
She adored him, went mad for him, and cooked for him with her own hands. Yet he never even looked at her. After years of marriage, he had not so much as held her hand.
He even brought other women home to torment her.
In this life, she would make him suffer for every bit of pain he had caused her.
She tormented him and hurt him, thinking he would only hate her more.
Who could have guessed that one day he would kneel on the ground, crying pitifully? “Wanrou, why can't you look at me even once?”
She curled her lip in scorn. “As if you deserve it.”
Reborn, she vowed never again to give a man her heart. She would become the crown princess and rise to the top.
Yet the crown prince swore, “I will never marry her.”
Later, he held her tightly in his arms, his eyes red from crying. “Rourou, have you forgotten Xiao Ba? Don't you want Xiao Ba anymore?”
She smiled. “Hah. He's just a man. Why should I remember him?”
