[Strong female lead + sweet, satisfying romance + lighthearted + winning back her husband: a scheming queen who’s blinded by lust, sweet-talks and cons her way through life × a cold-outside, warm-inside, clingy and calculating puppy; she transmigrates, he is reborn]
They say lust is a knife hanging over your head. After Bao Ying flirted with an Immortal Venerable who followed the Unfeeling Dao, she was banished to the mortal realm and became a cannon-fodder concubine-born daughter of the Yongning Marquis household. Abandoned in the countryside and ignored since childhood, she was summoned back overnight to take her legitimate younger sister’s place in a marriage meant to bring good fortune to a dying man.
Before seeing his portrait: “He’s practically on his deathbed. If Father can’t bear to give up this power, he should marry him himself!”
After seeing his portrait: “His Highness Prince Shuo gave his life for his country. He’s a true hero!”
Besides, she had plenty of ways to escape. Her husband-to-be was aloof and proud, so why not give him a try first? I mean, have a look...
Qin Shuzhi, the loyal son of a family of heroes, was falsely accused of treason. The mastermind turned out to be the emperor he had personally helped to power.
At the brink of despair, the only person who came to his rescue was the princess consort he had loathed all his life.
As he lay dying, he was consumed with remorse and swore that if he had another life, he would do everything in his power to treat her well.
To his surprise, when he opened his eyes, he was back at their first meeting. Bao Ying stared at him without blinking as she changed his bandages. “Wow, that wound is so pale. Ahem, I mean, your pecs are so defined.”
The tips of his ears turned red. As he planned how to make it up to her, he discovered that Bao Ying had a secret love he had never known about.
And that secret love was his childhood friend and sworn brother.
Qin Shuzhi: “Just a sworn brother, and he dares to seduce my wife? He can forget about being my brother!”
That wasn’t all. As his pursuit of her continued, layer upon layer of the truth about their past life came to light. The pitiful girl he thought had suffered so much seemed to have... gone on a killing spree?
(A sweet little story where, after the male lead is reborn, he keeps imagining that the heroine suffered terribly in her previous life and spoils her at every turn, while she spends both lives conning and tricking people, living even more carefree than he does.)
