Reborn on the Eve of Rebellion, My Powerful Rival Calls Me Baby

My rebellion failed, and I went from the eldest princess, second only to the emperor, to a prisoner.

I was confined for ten years and suffered every kind of torment.

The sixth-rank official I once looked down on became the chief minister of the court.

He was also the man directly responsible for my failed rebellion.

In the end, he gave me a cup of poisoned wine and sent me on my way.

Reborn on the day my rebellion failed, I suddenly had an idea when faced with certain death. Everyone knows I'm immoral and have countless male favorites.

But the chief minister is peerlessly talented, chaste, and pure. Whenever he sees me, he glares coldly, utterly disgusted.

I once told him I wanted to take him as a male favorite, but he rejected me outright. So isn't my rebellion simply a case of unrequited love?

So I shamelessly told my imperial brother that I rebelled because of him.

To my surprise, everyone believed this made-up excuse.

I thought that man would refuse and find it disgusting, but he agreed.

Well, no wonder he became chief minister. He really knows how to bend without breaking.

At his request, I dismissed everyone in my household.

Then, following his plan, I set a wedding date.

Before long, it was our wedding night. I was about to close the door and go to sleep when the man rushed at me with his nightclothes hanging open.

I frowned. "Had too much to drink?"

The man's breathing grew ragged, and the corners of his mouth slowly lifted. "After all these years, you're finally mine."

In a brief pause between our movements, I finally realized: this bastard actually likes me!

This scheming old nemesis actually likes me!
