Reborn into a New Marriage, I Try to Stop the Sinister Top Scholar from Taking a Wife and Concubine Together

[Three Reborn Leads] + [Strong Female Lead and Political Intrigue] + [Torturing Scumbags and Face-Slapping]

Clear-headed, rational heroine + arrogant, scheming hero

In her previous life, Lu Mingyou was infatuated with Shen Jianqing, a top-ranked candidate in the palace examination. On the very day the emperor arranged her marriage to the Crown Prince, she faked her death and erased her identity.

From then on, she had to live under an assumed name, hidden in the darkness.

Who could have known it was all part of Shen Jianqing's scheme, designed to get Lu Zhouwan into the palace and chosen as the Crown Princess?

He had always loved Lu Zhouwan.

Shen Jianqing kept her as his mistress, giving her neither a title nor money, and not even a child.

After ten years of hardship, her health grew increasingly frail, and she eventually died of exhaustion on a wooden bed.

When she opened her eyes again, she was back on the day Shen Jianqing placed among the top three in the palace examination.

Lu Zhouwan successfully moved into the Eastern Palace.

The Crown Prince, gravely wounded, never woke again.

Six years later, the Crown Prince became Prince Jin.

The Eastern Palace became Prince Qin's residence.

One year later.

Prince Jin died on a snowy night.

She refused to be buried alive as his sacrificial consort.

Why could Shen Jianqing remain unmarried for his entire life for Lu Mingyou,

while she had to live as a widow and endure contempt?

In his previous life, Shen Jianqing rose from top-ranked palace examination candidate to Grand Tutor of the First Rank.

Yet he never stopped thinking of the Crown Princess, who spent every night alone.

Reborn into another life,

he swore to marry Lu Zhouwan.

He could also take Lu Mingyou as a concubine, since she couldn't live without him.

He wanted to marry both his wife and concubine on the day he took up his new post.
