I Won't Marry (Reborn)

Everyone said Shen Yanlan was lucky. She married Pei Zhao when he was still an unfavored prince.

Once he won the throne, he abolished the imperial harem and devoted himself to her alone.

The history books recorded only Pei Zhao's brilliance and might, and the deep love between the emperor and empress.

Only Shen Yanlan knew that her husband was suspicious, neurotic, brutal, and possessed an extreme need for control.

She argued with him all her life and spent all her years trying to change him, but never succeeded.

As she lay dying, Shen Yanlan thought bitterly that she had given in enough in this life. In her next life, she would never marry him again.

When she opened her eyes again, Shen Yanlan discovered she had been reborn as Wen Niang, a jealous shrew.

She was a discarded wife whose attempt to harm her husband's favorite concubine had failed, and whose philandering husband was now pointing at her and threatening to divorce her.

Before Shen Yanlan was reborn, the couple had gotten into a fight and both passed out.

Learning that her cheap husband favored his concubine and neglected his wife, while all of the capital waited to laugh at Wen Niang, Shen Yanlan's vision went dark. Her future looked bleak.

But she had no idea that elsewhere, the good-for-nothing heir who had been knocked unconscious by his wife had also woken up. He kicked his favorite concubine out of bed and drew his sword with a murderous chill. "Who gave you the nerve to approach His Majesty? Where is my empress?"

Both leads are reborn. One-on-one sweet romance.

He pursues his wife after losing her. The male lead stays the same. The male lead suffers throughout, while the female lead does not.

Theme: The emperor and empress start new careers after retirement and work together to build a harmonious society.
