The Princess Returns to Her Youth

[Little Sunshine Everyone's Favorite vs. Tsundere Devoted Hound] 1v1, happy ending

Princess Bu Zhao of Sui'an had a charmed life. Her status was beyond noble, her parents doted on her, and she and her husband treated each other with mutual respect. Her only regret was dying too young, before she'd had her fill of life's blessings.

Reborn one day, she was told that if she successfully won over her husband from her previous life, Pei Qi, she would live to be a hundred.

Bu Zhao: What a deal! This should be a piece of cake!

Then she realized how naive she'd been in her previous life.

Her status was noble, but she wasn't eligible to contend for the throne. Her parents doted on her, but her marriage was a tool for political alliances.

And the husband she had longed for was in love with someone else. In her previous life, he had not only poisoned her, causing her early death, but had also usurped the throne and rebelled, plunging the realm into chaos.

Fortunately, now that she'd been given another chance at life, Bu Zhao could stop it all from happening.

Better yet, this time she had Huo Yang by her side.

He helped her improve people's livelihoods, build up the frontier, and ascend step by step to the supreme throne.

He was her most loyal minister, steadfast and unhesitating in his devotion.

Huo Yang hated many things.

He hated the imperial family's infighting for taking his parents from him, hated the capital's powerful families for treating him like an outsider, and hated everything around him.

One day, a voice claiming to be the System ordered him to win over the princess, even threatening that failure would lead to the fall of the country and the destruction of his family.

So he came to hate this princess he'd never even met.

At first, he disliked her arrogance and her two-faced nature.

Later, Huo Yang hated how her fickleness made everyone like her, hated how she cared only about her country and its people and neglected him, and hated most of all that she was so heartless she doubted her poor husband's sincere love.

Content warnings:

The heroine is everyone's favorite. Romance is a major focus, then later she gets down to business, building her cause and recruiting troops. The political scheming is simplistic, the heroine has a ridiculously powerful golden finger, and the characters are imperfect.

Theme: Make the most of life.
