How to Stop the Male Lead from Going Crazy!

In her previous life, Mu Qingwan was the legitimate daughter of a great general’s household. But after both her parents died, she lost her noble standing and was forced to marry a madman who held power over the entire court. Prince An was born with peerless good looks, but his right leg was crippled. Rumor had it that he murdered his father to seize the throne. Afterward, he went to court every morning and killed people every afternoon. What Mu Qingwan feared most was his faint smile, accompanied by fresh blood on his hands, as he tenderly confessed, “Qing’er, I love you.” Three years later, Mu Qingwan died. Prince An held no memorial service and arranged no funeral. He even grew more bloodthirsty, cutting down anyone he saw. Reborn in a dream, Mu Qingwan returned to the year she was sixteen, when she was still the exalted legitimate daughter of the general’s household, and Prince An had yet to rule with an iron fist. Bearing the hatred of her previous life, she resolved to punish Prince An and avenge her past. But when she rushed angrily to the scene, she witnessed a frail boy pinned to the ground by villains, about to suffer the agony of having his legs broken. Muddy water mingled with blood, trickling down drop by drop and staining his eyes, filled with malice and resentment... The boy knelt on the ground and begged her, “Miss, I’m willing to be your dog, even if all I can be is your bodyguard.” Mu Qingwan smiled. “What a good dog.” This book is also known as Ninefold Splendor: Climbing to the Top.
