In her previous life, Meng Pingting helped the man she loved frame the Sixth Prince, Shen Jinwen, for rebellion. As a result, Shen Jinwen was stripped of his title and exiled, losing his chance to contend for the throne.
Who could have known that the wheel of fate would turn? After the man she loved ascended the throne, he turned on her and had her killed.
After her death, her spirit saw Shen Jinwen rebel with her ashes in his arms. But after Shen Jinwen killed the emperor and seized the throne, the Empress Dowager killed him in turn.
As he lay dying, Shen Jinwen's one and only wish was to be buried with her.
Reborn, Meng Pingting returns to the day she was about to help the Second Prince bait Shen Jinwen, in her role as the most celebrated courtesan of Chang'an.
Meng Pingting: I'll hide. Can't I just hide?
Shen Jinwen: Sure. Then hide in my arms.
[Shen Jinwen: In this new life, he knows Meng Pingting has no good intentions, yet he keeps bending over backward for her, again and again.]
A little scene:
When the man she loved tries to win her back: "Pingting, come back to me. When I ascend the throne, I'll make you my empress."
Meng Pingting looks at him and says nothing, smiling coldly.
Shen Jinwen suddenly appears, casting a cold glance at the Second Prince. "Elder Brother, don't worry. Ping'er will definitely become an empress. It's just that..." He pulls Meng Pingting possessively into his arms. "She'll only be my empress."

A few notes before you dive in:
1. Courtesans of this rank [like the most celebrated courtesans, they have authority over the other courtesans]. The setting is partly fictional and partly based on the Tang dynasty.
3. Both leads are devoted to each other, and both are reborn. The male lead turns dark after being reborn, and the heroine is even darker.
3. A revenge story with a satisfying face-slapping plot.
4. The characters' values do not represent the author's. Please refrain from personal attacks.
Coming next: After Making the Prince Consort Rebel
Song Ruzhen, the most beautiful woman in the imperial family, is stunning, alluring, and unrestrained. She is the twin sister of the young emperor.
The young emperor is unruly, a mass murderer, and unpredictable, but he obeys her every word.
So anything she wants in this world is always hers for the taking.
Except Chu Yan. No matter how she tries to seduce him, she cannot have him.
The Chu family is loyal to the throne, with generations of legendary generals. Because they command half of the Great Wei Empire's military forces, the young emperor is wary of them.
To undermine the Chu family, the young emperor gives Chu Yan, the family's youngest son, to Song Ruzhen as her prince consort.
In secret, he tells Song Ruzhen to humiliate Chu Yan as much as she likes, hoping to drive the Chu family into rebellion so he can wipe them out once and for all.
From then on, Song Ruzhen takes pleasure in humiliating Chu Yan day after day.
*
One day, Song Ruzhen dreams that she makes Chu Yan drink the strongest aphrodisiac, strips him naked, and chains him to the bed. She orders several women to seduce him until desire burns through him with no release, leaving his meridians severed and turning him into a cripple.
Later, the Chu family really does rebel. To their surprise, the Imperial Guards switch sides at the last moment, and the Chu army storms the palace with ease. Chu Yan also leads troops into the princess's residence, ties Song Ruzhen up, and takes her to the palace. Right in front of her, he cuts off the young emperor's head with one stroke.
The young emperor's head rolls to her feet, his eyes still open in death. She feels as if someone is gripping her throat, cutting off her breath.
No one knows that she and the young emperor are twins, bound not only by blood but by life itself. If he is hurt, she feels pain. If he dies, she dies too.
Song Ruzhen dies just like that. She never sees how, beneath the torrential rain, Chu Yan holds her corpse and weeps until his tears run dry, leaving him completely blind.

When Song Ruzhen opens her eyes, decadent music fills the room. She looks down and sees two handsome male companions kneeling on the floor, massaging her legs. On the bed in front of her, Chu Yan is naked and chained up, while several scantily clad, seductive women tease him.
Chu Yan's eyes are bloodshot, his veins bulging like snakes as he glares at her and yells, "Song Ruzhen, how long are you going to humiliate me?"
Song Ruzhen's wrist trembles, and her teacup falls to the floor.
Boo-hoo... Is it still in time to let him go?
My Stand-In Has a White Moonlight Too
Before marrying Li Chengwei, Su Jinzhi knew that Li Chengwei loved her missing older sister. She was only a stand-in for her sister.
She made medicine for Li Chengwei and tested poison for him, damaging her throat in the process.
She also took a sword for him, losing one of her little fingers.
She would walk through fire and climb a mountain of blades for Li Chengwei.
Everyone thought she loved Li Chengwei desperately, and even Li Chengwei thought so. But he was never moved, because his heart and mind belonged only to his white moonlight.
Even so, Su Jinzhi never regretted a thing.
Later, her white-moonlight sister suddenly returned, and not only that, she became Li Chengwei's secondary consort. Li Chengwei even built her a private palace, improperly elevating her status to show that she alone had his favor.
From then on, everyone in the heir's residence knew only Secondary Consort Su Yuzhi, not Principal Consort Su Jinzhi.
Su Jinzhi didn't care. As long as she could stay by Li Chengwei's side, she was willing to serve him as a maid.
Until one day, Li Chengwei was seriously injured. Su Jinzhi quickly appeared, and Li Chengwei thought she would save him as she always had.
But after looking at his wound, Su Jinzhi reached inside and pulled out a strange bug. Then...
She left him barely alive and walked away with the bug without looking back...
Later, Li Chengwei finally understood. All along, Su Jinzhi had been risking her life to protect not him, but the medicinal parasite inside him, because only it could save her white moonlight.
-
On a deserted country road, the wind swept up clouds of dust, and Su Jinzhi's carriage stood beneath the slanting sun.
Li Chengwei blocked her way with several hundred death warriors. A coffin stood to his left, and a sedan chair to his right. His lips were cracked as he shouted at Su Jinzhi, "Su Jinzhi, are you getting in the coffin or the sedan chair? Pick one!"
Later...
"I'll give you my heart and my life, too. Wife, please look at me! Woof, woof..."

Theme: Even in adversity, persevere through every setback. Learn to use wisdom and courage to fight against the unfairness of fate and become a better version of yourself.
Nice! The heroine is brave and resourceful, not like the Virgin White Lotus. I just glanced at it in Shuhuang, but I didn't expect that after reading the whole book, the hero must be too infatuated! It just doesn't have a lot of crying outbursts ~ but it's still highly recommended! Come on, author~!
Didn't the Queen feed poison to King Zhao in his last life, so he won't take revenge in this life???
I just want to say that the heroine really has no self-respect at all! It doesn't matter to her if others belittle her so much!
Huahua! Congratulations on the completion~
The heroine is a bit... Ugly hahaha
Wow wow wow it's so beautiful! Looking forward to the extra episode
The ending was too hasty and a bit disappointing
The rhythm suddenly became so fast
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah come on come on
Haha, come on, come on
