Reborn powerhouse Gu Qingtang VS devoted, cunning-on-the-inside Pei Yulou
Gu Qingtang had died once.
She died at the hands of her husband, Sixth Prince Pei Jingyan, whom she had given everything to support.
She died by the blade of her most trusted cousin, Gu Wanqing.
Only before she died did she learn that the monthly “mandarin-duck bath” was nothing more than her husband’s way of drugging her to prevent pregnancy.
“What a load of nonsense about being a talented woman. You really thought you could become empress?”
Her cousin’s laughter was the last thing she heard.
When she opened her eyes, she was fifteen again.
It was the day she was supposed to call off her childhood engagement to the Crown Prince.
In her previous life, she had rejected him because of his poor eyesight and disability, then married the hypocritical Sixth Prince.
In this life
She smiled.
“Mother, I’m willing.”
She wouldn’t break off the engagement.
Not this time.
She would hold tight to the Crown Prince, and make that treacherous pair pay for their crimes in blood.
She would tear away the Sixth Prince’s mask of virtue and show the whole world what kind of man he really was.
But gradually, she realized something was wrong
Why could the Crown Prince, Pei Yulou, who was rumored to be “unable to see clearly,” read the tiny words she had deliberately written?
Why did he always “happen” to appear whenever she was in danger?
Why did he look at her as if he could see through every secret she kept?
Then one day, the Crown Prince set down his book and smiled faintly.
“Miss Gu, you’ve discovered my secret. Tell me, how should I make sure you keep quiet?”
Gu Qingtang took a deep breath and looked him in the eye.
“Your Highness, I have a secret too. How about we trade?”
