When the Camellias Fall, Their Beauty Fades; The Dust Settles, and Longing Ends

[Not a story about two virgins, a reborn wife-pampering tale, with one woman and two husbands.] After being reborn, she suddenly finds herself with a fiancé, and he is a hopeless romantic through and through. She takes in a male companion. Her fiancé says, “As your husband, I should be magnanimous.” She likes charming, flirtatious young officials, so her fiancé spends three months learning their seductive ways to tempt her: “Why not give me a try? I’m just as good as anyone else…” She wants to break off the engagement, so her fiancé wraps a white silk cord around his neck. “If you truly mean to abandon your husband, I’ll let you go. It’s just… I’d have no face left to go on living…” His motto: No matter how many times my fiancée breaks my heart, I’ll always treat her like my first love. The male companion, Ye Jinche: “She has a fiancé? No matter. I’m here to be her kept man.” Her name is Qi Ruoqing. In her previous life, her family framed her, and the man she loved, Prince Jing, Di Linjue, betrayed her. She was exiled to a desolate place, where she endured endless humiliation and narrowly escaped death time and again. Three years later, the vassal prince Ye Jinche led his army in an unstoppable charge, smashing through the city gates and palace gates before leveling the Golden Hall. He trampled Di Linjue, who had become emperor, beneath his feet. “Di Linjue, when you let her down and betrayed her, did you ever imagine you’d suffer this humiliation?” Her A Che had avenged her at any cost, but she and Ye Jinche never got their happy ending. They both died that winter When she opened her eyes again, both she and Ye Jinche had been reborn. How wonderful. In this life, she would take her revenge to her heart’s content! But… where had this extra fiancé come from???
