Reborn, My Archenemy and I Are Forced Into a Happy Ending

The unscrupulous, ambitious Lu Huiyi x the sharp-tongued but soft-hearted Zhao Ying

“Wicked people like you deserve to be bound to me for all eternity.”

Lu Huiyi had three great regrets in her life. First, her family was destroyed, and she wasted years drifting from place to place. With nowhere else to turn, she had no choice but to become a concubine in Prince Xing’s household.

Second, her husband was treacherous. She cleared every obstacle in Prince Xing’s path, only for him to discard her once she was no longer useful.

Third, Prince Jing, Zhao Ying, opposed her at every turn, foiling her schemes and cutting off every escape route.

The day Prince Xing was defeated, not a soul in his residence survived.

Lu Huiyi set the place ablaze with her own hands, reducing to ashes the cage that had trapped her for half her life.

When she opened her eyes again, she had returned to the year she was fourteen. The Lu family was still intact, and she had yet to become the “demoness” everyone despised.

Only Prince Jing, Zhao Ying, was even more insufferable than in her previous life, opposing her at every turn and ruining her plans time and again.

In the winter of Jianping Year 44, foreign tribes and heavy snow swept south across the river, blanketing the lands of Yue.

The kingdom of Yue never saw the spring of Year 45. Nor did the people entangled in the dynasty’s affairs live to see the snow melt.

The pain of losing his country was Zhao Ying’s obsession for all eternity. Perhaps that was why, even after death, his spirit lingered in the world until he watched his homeland buried beneath blood and snow.

Thankfully,

thankfully, Heaven gave him another chance.

But when Zhao Ying met that despicable Lu woman from his previous life at a palace banquet, and looked into her sharp eyes,

he realized he was not the only one Heaven had favored.

Zhao Ying took back one of his “thankfullys.”

-

Just one extra glance was enough to set the capital abuzz with rumors.

The culprit, Zhao Ying, snapped open his fan and said leisurely,

“I am indeed enamored of Miss Lu. Would you be willing to become my princess consort?”

Lu Huiyi lowered her eyes. “That depends on whether Your Highness has a long enough life.”

Zhao Ying refused to back down. “I’ll return those words exactly as they are, Miss Lu. Take care not to repeat your previous life’s mistakes and meet an untimely end.”

But after Lu Huiyi truly became Princess Jing, he could only awkwardly sidle up to her and say, “I have a very long life, you know.”

Zhao Ying did indeed have a long life.

For decades afterward, he shielded Lu Huiyi from countless attacks, both open and hidden.

He would weather every storm,

while she plotted against every scheme.

Their formidable fates bore the glory of two sovereigns.

On the day she is supposed to marry Captain Shen’s cousin and become his stepsister, she steps out of her bridal sedan only to discover that she has been abducted to Prince Chu’s residence. The Prince of Chu standing before her has the exact same face as Captain Shen.

-

According to the rumors in the capital, Prince Chu is like a demon, enough to stop children crying at night.

He wields enormous power and has purged the capital’s nobility in just three years.

On their wedding night, his slender fingers traced Chai Ru’an’s lips as he said in a chilling voice,

“Your father served the country well. As his only living descendant, you should be treated kindly by the court.”

Prince Chu intends to treat her kindly on behalf of the court, but his way of doing so is to abduct her into his residence.

Wait, is that really how this works?
