[Double-forced sadomasochism + woman disguised as a man + rebirth for revenge + marriage first, love later]
In his previous life, he was Xiao Jingheng, the crown prince of the Dai Viet Dynasty. He was a man of literary and military skills, but he was sent to hell by a glass of poisonous wine by the person he trusted the most.
When he opened his eyes again, he became Gu Nazhi, the sick and frail daughter of the Prime Minister's Palace, who was about to be used as a marriage pawn to marry the powerful regent - Pei Changyuan, his political enemy in his previous life.
On the wedding night, the man lifted his hijab and said coldly: "I married you because your face looks like a human being."
Gu Nanzhi lowered his eyes and said nothing, sneering in his heart: Of course I know who he looks like - I look like myself.
In a marriage with hidden agendas, she pretended to be weak and hid her edge, secretly contacting her old subordinates to plot revenge; he tried every step of the way and set up a trap, using her as a pawn to lure out the former crown prince's old subordinates.
Until the border war broke out, she disguised herself as a man and rushed to the battlefield to save him from thousands of arrows.
He held her covered in blood and finally asked: "Who are you?"
Later, she walked into the Golden Palace wearing a dragon robe, with the civil and military officials from the court kneeling behind her.
The most powerful man knelt on one knee in front of her, his voice low and hoarse:
"My lord, I would like to welcome your highness back."
"In this life, it will be me who bows my head to you."
