[Women's Fiction + Reborn Female Lead + Married in Two Lifetimes + Political Intrigue]
Gu Qingning's life was never supposed to have anything to do with the palace walls.
She was the daughter of the magistrate of Qingxi County. When she was five, an old Daoist who had taken shelter from the rain at their home predicted that she would be born to become a demon consort.
That prediction was like a curse, following her throughout her life.
At ten, both her parents died. She went to the capital, became the second young lady of the Gu family, and met her white moonlight, Murong Jue.
She admired Crown Prince Murong Jue with all her heart, but she was timid and weak, held back by the prophecy, and rejected his advances again and again.
The night before she finally found the courage to marry Murong Jue, news arrived from the frontier that his fate was unknown, and the entire Gu family was exiled.
She tried to kill herself, but Murong Yi saved her.
Murong Yi ascended the throne, and she became a high-ranking consort.
She hated herself, and she hated Murong Yi.
After that, all she had to live for was one thing.
She drowned herself in wine and dreams, lived in wanton luxury, and poisoned Murong Yi to death.
The prophecy that had terrified her father in her childhood finally came true. She became the demon consort in everyone's eyes.
Under the pens and tongues of those who wielded words, she was forced to atone with her life.
She was reborn on the day she first met Murong Jue.
After being reborn, all she wanted was to learn how to make a living and, while she was at it, marry Murong Jue as soon as possible.
But...
Murong Yi: “I am the only one who can marry Gu Qingning.”
Murong Yi: “Qingning, without you, I'll die...”
Murong Yi: “I am a traveler trapped in winter, and you are my blazing sun.”
