My Husband Thinks I’m Ugly? Once I Reveal My True Face, I Dazzle the Entire Capital

[Both leads are reborn + clear-eyed heroine + the second male lead wins her heart + understands furry creatures + scumbag husband’s groveling redemption + beauty disguises herself as ugly] Jia Qingcheng is known throughout the land as the ugliest woman alive. In her previous life, she married into the Pei family. Her husband, Pei Wuliang, was devoted to her and never once looked down on her plain appearance. To repay his love, she used her dowry and connections to pave the way for his success, supporting him as he rose through the ranks. Even as they lay dying, they clasped hands and promised to be husband and wife again in their next lives. When she opens her eyes, she has been reborn at the spring banquet. She discovers that her loving husband has already abandoned their promise from their previous life. He has broken off their engagement and asked to marry his cousin instead. Worse, he forces her to marry the dying Prince of Chu and become his widow. Her former husband gives all his affection to his cousin. His cousin likes lotus flowers, so he drains an entire pond and plants it with lotus seeds for her by hand. His cousin is afraid of the dark, so he spends a fortune on a luminous pearl from the South Sea to light her room all night. So the love and kindness she once believed in were nothing but a joke. She sneers, casts aside her faithless husband, and asks to marry Prince Chu instead. “I’d rather guard the lonely tomb of a prince than marry a faithless man!” Everyone waits to see her make a fool of herself, wondering how the ugliest woman in the capital will preserve her virtue while keeping watch over Prince Chu. But no one expects the prince to survive, or for her to shed her ugly disguise and reveal a peerless beauty. The loving couple become the envy of all. Meanwhile, chaos engulfs the Pei household, their political careers are ruined, and her former husband regrets everything so deeply that he comes to her door and begs on his knees to reconcile. “Qingcheng, I was wrong. Can you come back to me?” Prince Chu says coldly, “Get lost. If you dare bother my beloved consort again, I’ll execute your entire clan!”
