After transmigrating, domineering CEO Li Wei opens her eyes to find herself getting intimately acquainted with a handsome young man.
Afterward, Li Wei coolly dumps the pretty boy named Zichu.
As if! How was she supposed to know that this arrogant guy was the future Qin Shi Huang's father, and that a broken heart would split him into two personalities, one lovesick and one violent?
Later, Li Wei fakes her death and takes her brother's place as Lü Buwei, only to discover to her astonishment that the King of Qin she's supposed to assist is her ex, Ying Zichu!
To keep her identity as his ex-girlfriend from being exposed, Li Wei can only cling tightly to her "Lü Buwei" secret identity, focus wholeheartedly on inventions, and help Zichu unite the realm as soon as possible so she can get away from this lunatic.
But the truth can't stay hidden forever.
Violent Zichu's sharp dagger traces along Li Wei's neck. His crimson lips move, his eyes bewitching, and every word drips with bone-chilling menace: "If Prime Minister Lü dares to leave me, I'll hunt you down to the ends of the earth and bring you back. I'll cut off your flesh, one piece at a time, with my own hands. Even if you cry and beg me, it won't help."
Lovesick Zichu rests his head on Li Wei, raising his long, cool fingertips to stroke the tiny red mole on her neck. His gaze is hazy and tender: "Buwei, except for your face, there's not a single part of you that doesn't resemble the person I love most."
Reason for entering the contest: Transmigrate to the Warring States period and use technology to strengthen the nation.
Coming next: I Talk My Ex into Marrying a Princess
Key point: The male lead isn't a scumbag in either of his two lives, but he has a problem: "He can laugh and chat with anyone, but can't get a word out around the person he loves." So he'll have to go through the whole arduous pursuit of his wife.
Not long after Emperor Gaozong of Tang made Wu Meiniang empress, the Liang State Duke Fang family's daughter-in-law, Princess Gaoyang, plotted rebellion, and the family was exterminated.
Their adopted daughter, Fang Yizhu, was consequently cast aside by her husband's family and froze to death on the road into exile.
After being reborn, Fang Yizhu racks her brain trying to keep Princess Gaoyang from marrying into the Fang family again. She urges her "pitifully pale-faced" second brother to visit brothels, beat up princes, run shady inns, and disgrace himself.
But she never imagined that her second brother would become the most popular, wealthiest, and most celebrated young nobleman in Chang'an.
Fang Yizhu is helpless, so she simply tricks her gorgeous, cold, and scummy ex-husband into pursuing Princess Gaoyang. Let them marry and make each other miserable, and hopefully they'll rebel together and meet their doom sooner.
But she never imagined that her ex-husband, who had treated her with indifference throughout the three years of their marriage in her previous life, would corner her in a dark alley on a moonless, windy night.
Fang Yizhu puts on a brave front: "Scumbag, move aside. You're blocking my path to the Crown Prince, Li Zhi."
Cheng Chumo presses her into a corner, frowning and pursing his lips: "The Crown Prince? Haven't you been craving my body for ages?"
Fang Yizhu swallows, facing the warm breath of the gorgeous Cheng Chumo, and forces herself to sound tough: "I craved the wrong person in my past life. Can't I crave someone else in this one?"
Cheng Chumo's eyes redden. He says, each word distinct: "No!"
Fang Yizhu: "Don't be ridiculous. We were married in our past life and barely said a few words to each other."
Cheng Chumo lowers his eyes and says softly: "I just have a condition: 'I can laugh and chat with anyone, but can't get a word out around the person I love.'"
Fang Yizhu looks astonished, but Cheng Chumo pulls her into his arms: "I know the Cheng family wronged you in your previous life. I rode twelve hundred li back from the Turks, but I still returned too late to protect you."
CP: Fang Yizhu x Cheng Chumo (a seemingly sweet and soft heroine who's secretly full of schemes x a male lead who's a diplomat, warm on the outside and cold within)
Theme:
I really want to watch the extra chapter, and I hope the author will update it a lot
How is the author? I think there haven't been any updates since the epidemic started, and I haven't written any other novels. Are you okay?
No, it hasn't been updated in a year.
Sitting up in shock reminded me of "sitting up in shock during a dying illness"
I originally hated Wei Wuji, but now I feel so complicated inside.
I'm still not done with it, so tell me it's over. Hey~ It's rare to see a good article
I've been waiting for too long. When will there be a sequel?
I forgot about it. I want to read the next chapter.
It's so sudden... It's gone
The ending is a bit sudden, and the meaning is still unfinished... Is there no more follow-up (poor)?
