Reborn, I Tossed Aside My Love-Brain and Married the Villain Instead

The first thing Shen Zhaoning did after being reborn was call off the marriage that the whole capital envied.

In her previous life, she had married into the Gu family with all her heart. She cooked for him, managed the household, cared for his widowed mother, and even tended day and night to the woman he cherished when she caught a chill.

And how did Gu Changyan repay her?

A cup of poisoned wine and three feet of white silk. As she lay dying, she heard his voice, as gentle as ever: “Zhaoning, you were in A-Heng's way.”

In this new life, Shen Zhaoning looked at the guests filling the Gu residence's courtyard and smiled.

She turned, lifted the chin of the Northern Prince, famed for his brutality, bloodlust, and ruthless decisiveness, and asked, “Would you marry me? Let's consummate the marriage tonight!”

The whole capital was in an uproar. Everyone waited to see how she would die.

Later

The Northern Prince knelt on one knee and personally slipped her embroidered shoes onto her feet. When he looked up, there was not a trace of menace in his eyes, only tenderness. “Princess Consort, step on me when you mount your horse.”

And Gu Changyan, who had once cast her aside like rubbish, knelt in the mud and watched her retreating figure in her phoenix crown and wedding robes, finally tasting the agony of a heart being torn apart.
