In her previous life, the female lead was betrayed by her half-sister and a scumbag boyfriend. Only on her deathbed did she discover that her younger brother had been switched by her aunt and half-sister. She had spoiled her half-sister rotten, turning her into a heartless ingrate. After being reborn, the female lead sets things right, recognizes her younger brother, and forces her half-sister and the scumbag boyfriend to break up. The male lead is a brilliant and talented scholar. After repeated encounters, the two go from being at odds to being ambiguous, to mutually appreciating each other, and finally falling in love. Their interactions are incredibly sweet, full of flirting and pampering. As the plot unfolds, the male lead's secret is revealed: he went from being an illegitimate son in the Ministry of Rites to the legitimate son of the Prince of Zhennan. The male lead takes revenge on his scumbag father, kills his enemies, eliminates external foes, and reclaims everything that is rightfully his. The female lead is reborn and rises to become the Empress. The plot involves domestic intrigue, palace intrigue, and political maneuvering! This cunning young couple is such a perfect match, hahaha! #AncientRomanceNovelRecommendation #MustReadNovelForLateNights #SweetRomanceRecommendation #AncientRomanceArrangementLove
