[Reborn for Revenge] [Two-Faced Heroine] [A Hero Who Seems Brooding and Cold but Is Secretly Hopelessly in Love] [One-on-One Romance]
The Zhou family was renowned for its loyalty and courage, but in her previous life, the imperial family schemed against them, and the entire clan was slaughtered.
Zhou Wenyi was raised in the palace from childhood, kept under the control of the imperial family and manipulated into marrying the Second Prince. She thought that if she obeyed, she could protect her family. But her eldest sister's body was left mutilated, her parents were burned to death, and her two elder brothers met their tragic ends on the battlefield.
She herself was killed with a cup of poisoned wine. The entire Zhou family paved the Second Prince's path to the throne.
--
Reborn, Zhou Wenyi sees through the imperial family. As she considers which prince to make her puppet, the usually silent Fifth Prince takes the initiative and offers her his power with both hands.
People say he is aloof and dislikes having anyone near him. Even toward the Emperor, he is always cold, and no one believes he can inherit the throne.
Yet in the silent, taciturn Fifth Prince's eyes, she sees the word ambition.
"I'll help you take the throne, but the phoenix seat can only be mine, and half of Great Qi's military forces must belong to the Zhou family."
"Agreed."
But gradually, his gaze begins to seem a little strange. Even when she gives him medicine to make him unable to father children, he says, "Anything Qinqing feeds me is sweet."
It is only when Zhou Wenyi accidentally discovers a secret chamber behind the new emperor's palace, filled with portraits of herself, paintings and handkerchiefs she had long ago told her maid to throw away, and even the intimate undergarments that had gone missing, that she understands...
"Since Qinqing has seen it, I won't hide it anymore. Don't even think about running away." A shadow envelops her from behind.
Zhou Wenyi realizes that the man who seemed so cold and taciturn never wanted the throne at all. From the very beginning, his real target was her!
