The Emperor’s Evil Moonlight Was Reborn and Ran Away

【Self-serving, money-loving beauty × lovestruck, scheming emperor】 【Devoted to each other in this life + misunderstandings + win-her-back romance + bittersweet at first, sweet later + forced love】 Content warning: The heroine is genuinely self-serving and is no perfect protagonist. She was not chaste in her previous life. Rong Jiaojiao was pitifully foolish. In her previous life, she was captivated by his looks and rescued the fallen crown prince, Xie Chen, then forced him to marry her. After their wedding, she grew tired of his poverty and cruelly left with a wealthy merchant. When Xie Chen ascended the throne, she went to the capital hoping to attach herself to his newfound power and riches, but he refused to see her. Everyone thought he had grown to despise her. Only he knew that being emperor was like poison to her. He deliberately restrained his feelings, unwilling to imprison her against her will, and secretly sent people to protect her. But before her guards could reach her, someone in the imperial harem poisoned her, and she drowned in the moat. Reborn, the terror of her near-death experience from her previous life took root in her heart. Rong Jiaojiao stubbornly believed that Xie Chen had allowed others to kill her because he was sick of her. To stay alive, she took her savings and ran. But Xie Chen had lost his memories and was determined to repay the debt of saving his life. When she went to a small town, he followed her there. When she traveled far away, he went after her. After he forcibly brought her into the palace, Xie Chen regained his memories of his previous life one day and pinned her against a wall. “Jiaojiao, so what if you love money? So what if you left me in your previous life? So what if you wanted a better life? There is nothing wrong with a woman wanting to better herself.” “Gratitude and love must not be confused, and my heart tells me plainly that it loves you.”, Xie Chen. The world criticized her for being greedy, selfish, and shortsighted, but in Xie Chen's eyes, she was precious beyond compare. So what if she didn't know how to handle things? He would teach her himself.
