The Emperor and His Sister-in-Law

Xie Ji was cold-hearted and emotionally distant, lacking affection and love. He cared nothing for the world, only for the moon. The moon was surnamed Cui: the third daughter of the Cui family, and Xie Ji's fifth sister-in-law. In his previous life, he failed to take her by force. In this life, he would win her over by cunning. Whatever kind of man she admired, he would pretend to be. He would turn the world and everything in it into a chessboard. All he wanted was her. /// The third Miss Cui was born into a noble family and possessed peerless beauty. Aside from her frail health and chronic illness, she had never faced any other hardships. Even when Prince Huai defied the emperor's order to marry her, the Crown Prince, a man of even higher status, requested her hand and spared her from public gossip. At first, she felt no romantic affection for Crown Prince Xie Ji. But he was truly a good man: respectful and gentle to his elders, warm and kind to those beneath him. He was a gentleman who cared for the world, and exactly the kind of man she liked. As they spent their days and nights together, Cui Zhaoru gradually fell in love with him, believing him to be a good husband. Until, on the eve of her coronation as empress, her former fiance, Prince Huai, who had been exiled, suddenly appeared. Covered in wounds and barely breathing, he called her A Xu. That day, Cui Zhaoru remembered everything from her previous life: all the coercion and resentment. It turned out Xie Ji had schemed to deceive her into marrying him. On Xuanyuan Terrace, the coronation ceremony was underway. The emperor wore a crown adorned with nine dragons and carried himself with striking elegance. Her refined, gentle husband smiled softly and reached out to her. She would have gone to stand beside him, and from then on they would have loved and trusted each other without doubt. But then she woke up. ///A breathtakingly beautiful, frail, kind, and bright former sister-in-law VS a reborn, still obsessive and deranged, possessive, lovesick man/// [Content warnings] 1.
