Both reborn | A man determined to force a love that isn't there | A woman who knows how to lie low and enjoy life
In her previous life, Du Lian died a miserable death after falling victim to villains.
When she awoke again, Du Lian knew only that she had been reborn after dying. She had forgotten everything that happened in her previous life, and had just received an imperial decree ordering her to enter the palace.
The emperor wants her as his consort? She doesn't want to go, but she can't defy the imperial command.
As she steps into the palace, a strange feeling rises within her... It's familiar, far too familiar.
So familiar that, just by looking at the sleeping quarters, she knows exactly where she'll die someday.
As a well-educated daughter of a noble family, Du Lian silently accepts all the strange and unusual things around her.
Then, after a vivid dream, her memories of the past return. She identifies her enemies and begins her revenge.
But... does the emperor count as an enemy? That's still up for debate...
“Your Highness, His Majesty treats you so well!”
Du Lian replied calmly and inscrutably, “Don't be fooled by appearances.”
Then illness struck, and a flood of memories came rushing back.
After testing him again and again, Du Lian discovered that His Majesty was just like her: they had both been reborn!
So why bother seducing him?
They were already an old married couple. Convinced they had a foundation of affection, Du Lian started ignoring the emperor. She couldn't let romance waste her time.
“Du Lian, after everything I've done, you still refuse to forgive me?” Shen Jiu looked stricken, as if he were about to fall apart.
Shen Jiu steeled himself, seized her, and locked her away.
Du Lian: “...”
She was imprisoned in her previous life, and now she's imprisoned again. It's the same man, only crazier.
Love from a past life, rekindled in this one.
