Ruan Shu was reborn before she had married her husband, Ruan Ming'en.
In her previous life, her reputation was ruined, and she clung to Ruan Ming'en like a lifeline, helping him pursue his lofty ambitions until he rose to become chancellor. She never imagined that this husband, so devoted on the surface, had long been plotting to kill her. He had even become involved with her older sister, who had married before her, nearly leaving Ruan Shu to suffer a fate worse than death.
In this life, she and the scoundrel are at odds, clashing again and again. She is determined to keep a firm grip on everything that belongs to her.
He wants to become a powerful official? She will cut off his path to success.
He wants to become a wealthy merchant? She will drive his connections out of the capital.
If she helped him rise to greatness in her previous life, why can’t she walk that path herself this time?
But why, when the road ahead is clear, does she always feel a pair of eyes watching her from behind?
Like a ghost, like a demon, clinging and intent.
“Ruanruan, do you really think this is all you owe me?”
The woman stands alone in the world, her face cool and distant, holding nothing but the power she has claimed for herself.
The man, dressed in a prince’s robe, is noble in bearing yet abject in appearance, begging for her compassion.
“Have we met before?”
She has long cast away their youthful love as worthless as dust. Only Gu Ling still clings to the memory of being forced to love her as a child, waiting in agony…
Heroine and scoundrel both reborn + brooding, lovesick male lead + strong heroine + dark moonlight + white moonlight + groveling-to-win-her-back + no forgiveness
