Reborn: A Salty Fish Comes Out of the Closet

Completed~

Give the author a follow while you're here. Mwah~

In her previous life, Chu Lili was a concubine in the imperial palace, caught in a web of intrigue. In the end, she was tortured to death, her heart utterly desolate.

Who could have guessed that Heaven would be so blind as to let her be reborn!

To avoid repeating the past, Chu Lili decides to stay away from Lu Chengshuang for her own safety, shut herself away in the harem, and focus on raising her stepson.

But the world won't stay still just because she wants it to. After her rebirth, strange things keep happening around Chu Lili, and undercurrents churn through the harem. To her surprise, the only person by her side is Prince Lu Kaiyun, with whom she'd barely exchanged a nod in her previous life...

Only after every conspiracy has been swept away and the dust has settled does Chu Lili realize that the young man before her had first fallen for her so long ago that his love had endured even across life and death.

Lu Kaiyun: "Chu Lili, for you, I'll grow into a towering tree."

Key points:

1. Both the female and male leads are reborn; the male lead is younger.

2. This is a writing exercise in the mystery, intrigue, and romance genres.

3. As usual, the story comes first and romance second. I'll try to add more sweet moments in this one.

4. Set in an alternate world, so don't overanalyze it! The imperial palace rules aren't very strict, and society is relatively open.
