Reborn, I Married My Archrival

1.

In her previous life, Shen Fengxue spent five years locked in a bitter struggle at the border with the Regent, a man who held the entire court in his grip.

At long last, she won, only to drink a cup of poisoned wine from her half-brother and die on the spot.

Only after dying did Shen Fengxue discover that she was merely the first expendable character in this little world.

The true chosen one was her half-brother. He rode on the military honors she had earned, rising steadily until he became the supreme ruler of the land.

Thinking of how she had been forced to disguise herself as a man to fight the war, break off the marriage her father had arranged for her before his death, and even lose her life, Shen Fengxue made her stance clear after being reborn:

If you're so capable, go fight the war yourself. She's done.

2.

Lin Ren, the Regent, helped the young emperor ascend the throne at seventeen, then held absolute power for thirteen years.

Everyone knew that the Regent was cruel and sinister by nature, and that taking a life was as routine for him as eating a meal. When rebels rose up, he personally took to the battlefield and fought for five years.

In the end, Lin Ren suffered a crushing defeat. As he lay dying, all he saw was the rebel commander’s pair of exceptionally alluring eyes.

Reborn, the first thing Lin Ren wanted to do was kill that commander.

But when he stormed over to the Shen family estate at the border, he didn't find the Shen family's exceptionally skilled eldest son. Instead, he found the Shen family's eldest daughter, radiant and beautiful, with a captivating pair of eyes.

After Lin Ren was reborn, he was determined not to repeat his past mistakes. Since he couldn't kill the commander, he would recruit them instead. Ignoring what the world might think, he seized the eldest daughter of the loyal Marquis Shen's family and brought her to the capital to keep her there. Only then did he discover that the cold, merciless commander from his previous life was actually a troublemaker who spent every day drinking, brawling, and fighting crickets.

Whenever she caused trouble, she would leave behind the words, "I'm the Regent's person," leaving the imperial relatives and court officials furious but afraid to speak up.

The officials dared not complain openly, so they secretly sent memorials to the young emperor. Taking the hint, the emperor remembered his father's deathbed instruction to find his uncle a good match. In a fit of impulsiveness, he issued the first imperial decree of his life:

He would arrange a marriage between Lin Ren, the Regent, and Shen Fengxue, the legitimate daughter of Marquis Shen.
