Halfway Through the Conquest, I Discover the Deposed Crown Prince Has the Script

[Sweet romance + gloomy, obsessive male lead + mutual first love + intense push and pull + information gap after rebirth]

After transmigrating into a book as the hated, wicked concubine belonging to the disgraced Crown Prince Fu Jue, Jiang Li learns the original owner’s fate and feels her scalp prickle with fear.

The original owner drugged and harmed him. When Fu Jue returned to the Eastern Palace, she met a gruesome end.

To stay alive, Jiang Li puts all her effort into pleasing him.

When he suffers from a high fever and can’t sleep, she stays by his bedside all night. When he wakes from nightmares night after night, she soothes him in a gentle voice. Whenever he feels even slightly unwell, she takes care of every detail.

After being treated with such patient tenderness for so long, Fu Jue grows gentler toward her.

Jiang Li secretly breathes a sigh of relief, convinced her plan to stay alive is going perfectly.

She has no idea that the tenderness in Fu Jue’s eyes was never there from the very beginning.

He carried the memories of his previous life and waited for her for an entire lifetime. Back then, she had treated him just as clumsily, but disappeared without warning the moment he fell for her.

Now that they have reunited in this life, he doesn’t dare show his domineering, obsessive side. He only wants to act weak and aggrieved, luring her along one step at a time, hoping she’ll stay by his side of her own free will.

The day she tends to his wounds, Fu Jue clutches her sleeve, his eyes filled with vulnerable uncertainty. “A Li, are you going to leave me?”

Jiang Li assumes he’s feeling unsettled and patiently comforts him.

It isn’t until the dead of night that she finds herself trapped at the foot of the bed, held fast by him.

Fu Jue’s eyes burn red with churning emotion, his arms locking around her so tightly she can’t move. His voice trembles with restraint. “You’re trying to run away again, aren’t you?”

Jiang Li is completely bewildered.

She has never once thought of leaving. Why has this man suddenly turned completely dark?
