[Two male leads + reborn + crematorium for the scumbag + satisfying revenge + secret identities + two rulers + devoted to each other + happy ending]
Gu Yun is reborn, returning to the year before the palace coup. This time, he vows to keep his eyes open, root out treachery, and place all the glory and favor of the supreme ruler of the realm before Mu Chenjuan. He plans his every move and pours out all his tenderness. As the man who once kept him at arm’s length gradually lets down his guard, and warmth and trust return to his eyes, Gu Yun feels that his rebirth has been a complete success.
But happiness doesn’t last. The warmth suddenly vanishes from the eyes of the one he has carefully protected. His beloved turns away without hesitation, determined to leave the past behind and owe him nothing.
One moment, their love is sweeter than honey; the next, he’s left to suffer the consequences. The road to winning back his beloved is long. Watch as the reborn emperor bends and yields, humbles himself, and fights to change their fated, broken ending…
The top and bottom are reborn at different times.
The dynasty in this story is entirely fictional, and all worldbuilding exists to serve the plot.
It's refreshing and reassuring, and I prefer dual strength, so I think it's quite suitable for me.
