In her previous life, Su Wen was no good person, though she wanted to be one.
To become the virtuous lady everyone praised, she awkwardly copied others and pretended to be broad-minded.
But her closest family, her ex-husband, and her lover were all devoted to her adopted younger sister.
Reborn, she no longer wants to be a good person.
To claim the throne as empress, she uses every means at her disposal, trampling on sincere feelings.
Now, those who once abandoned her are at a loss…
-
Yan Zheng is a vengeful ghost who clawed his way out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
He first approached Su Wen to use her, but with every step, he lost another piece of his heart.
He thought he was ruthless enough.
But Qu Suwen is a heartless woman.
No matter how much you do for her, all she sees is power and the throne as empress.
-
At her lowest point, Yan Zheng promised to make her his empress one day, as long as she stopped luring other men.
Su Wen refused, saying with absolute certainty, “I don’t want that. I only want to be your master’s second wife.”
Yan Zheng couldn’t understand.
He was young, vigorous, and in his prime. How could he possibly lose to a middle-aged man with one foot in the grave?
Reader’s guide:
1. In her previous life, the heroine was not a virgin, but the hero was. In this life, they are both virgins. The characters are flawed.
2. The heroine is reborn. The hero has returned to life in another person’s body.
3. The setting is fictional, so please don’t nitpick the history.
