The Marquis Sacrifices Himself to Lure the Calamity

The demon empress Yan Qingqing is reborn, only to find herself in the Dali Temple prison.

She stares in confusion. Wasn't she supposed to enter the palace as a consort, rise through the ranks, and lift the entire Yan family to glory?

Marquis Xuanping corners her against the wall. "Marry me, or die."

In his previous life, Shen Shaozhou died at the hands of the demon empress. Reborn, he rises to become Marquis Xuanping.

He goes to settle the score with that demon empress, only to see her pleading in a childlike voice: "My lord..."

And so Shen Shaozhou can't bring himself to kill her.

Since he can't kill her or let her go, he'll keep her for himself, so she can't enter the palace and cause trouble.

[Pre-release] "Hunting Beauty"

The emperor is attacked and falls into a coma. The crown prince takes charge of the government.

The capital is thrown into turmoil, and a major treason case comes to light.

Hundreds are thrown into prison, including Xiao Yuyan's husband.

The Crown Prince, Li Ying, lazily sips his wine. Xiao Yuyan kneels at his feet, weeping as she pleads her husband's innocence in a soft voice. "I beg Your Highness to investigate this fairly."

He bends down and lifts her chin. "Are you asking me to bend the rules for you, madam?"

His manner is flirtatious, and she panics. "Y-Your Highness..."

Li Ying chuckles. When she can't help taking a step back, he suddenly leans close to her ear.

"Lust," he murmurs seductively, "clouds the mind. You're the most beautiful woman in the capital, madam. Why not give it a try?"

Li Ying certainly won't kill her husband.

Otherwise, she might take her own life for love, just as she did in her previous life.

He lays a trap and lies in wait for years, all for this beautiful prey.

All he has to do is wait for her to stumble into it in her desperation, and he'll finally get his revenge.
