Reborn, I Marry Someone Else, and My Tyrant Ex-Husband Comes After Me

In his previous life, Shen Du was sent into the palace by his stepmother to suffer the tyrant’s “favor” in place of his cousin Gu Lianchen, a sweet-faced hypocrite. To protect himself, he used gu magic to make the parasite turn on its host, causing Emperor Yin Wuxie to fall in love with his “substitute.” When the truth came out, Yin Wuxie felt he had been toyed with and tortured Shen Du to death. With his final wisp of gu spirit, Shen Du protected Yin Wuxie’s soul as he died. They were both reborn.

In this life, Shen Du awakens to the fact that he is a substitute, escapes the capital, and establishes the Gu Tower, using gu magic to control the intelligence network across the realm. After being reborn, the first thing Yin Wuxie does is rush to Shen Du’s wedding to another man, carrying a sword stained with the blood of his concubines, and snatch him away.

“This time, I won’t be anyone’s substitute.”

“I know. This time, I’ll be your gu.”
