Reborn Beauty Schemes for the Throne

Coming soon: The Competitive Striving of Two Beautiful, Powerful Tragedies

[Blurb]

Everyone says Prince of Chu is cold and ruthless, a living fiend who kills without batting an eye. He has the strength to lift a colossal cauldron and is invincible on the battlefield. Yet this man dotes on one person alone, to the point of obeying her every word.

According to those in the know, before and after Prince of Chu Ji Xuan's dramatic transformation, she was the moonlight in his heart, the vermilion mark between his brows.

Luo Yang mused to herself:

Actually, we knew each other in our past lives. We just tried to kill each other then, so in this life, we fell in love.

Ji Xuan: I know that a butcher's blade hangs over the northern frontier, and that this blade also looms above my head in the capital. I know the day it falls is inevitable. Because of this, I stay on guard night after night, unable to sleep. Yet I never imagined that day would come so soon.

Luo Yang: What has passed can never be reclaimed. In this life, all I ask is to have my beloved family by my side, to part while we still live, but never to be separated by death.

As young adults:

Everyone says Prince of Chu is wise and formidable, cold-blooded and ruthless, with cruel methods. He has just one woman to whom he shows tenderness and affection, and he grants her every request.

People of the time all say that nothing could be a greater example of a beautiful woman bringing disaster upon a kingdom.

Luo Yang (bewildered): ...What did I say?

Ji Xuan (sweeping her into his arms): My beloved consort, you needn't say a word. Just lower your eyes, smile faintly, and glance back at me once, and I'll place the whole realm in your hands.

Reader's guide:

1. The female lead is reborn, but this isn't a revenge-and-crush-your-enemies power fantasy. There are no awful relatives, villains, second male leads, or rival female leads. It has a serious tone, with equal emphasis on plot and romance.

2. The story features devoted parents, brothers who'd lay down their lives for each other, and a husband and wife who support one another through thick and thin. Expect both sweetness and angst, so read at your own discretion.

3. That's all.
