Two Lives

In her previous life, Lin Muzi was caught up in a power struggle between the White Moonlight and the Regent. Overnight, she went from Crown Princess to the Regent's secondary consort.

Used by others, she caused the Regent's defeat in battle and his suicide by hanging. Only at the very end did she realize she had been nothing but a pawn. The Lin family was plunged into dire straits as a result.

To save her father and brothers, Lin Muzi traded her life for theirs and drank the poison the Empress Dowager had personally bestowed upon her.

Reborn, Lin Muzi wanted only for the Lin family to be safe. She wanted nothing more to do with either the White Moonlight or the Regent.

She asked to call off her engagement to the Crown Prince.

The Crown Prince: "Very well. I shall do as you wish."

Lin Muzi: "?"

The next day, news arrived that the Regent had been assassinated.

Lin Muzi: "???"

After the Regent's sudden death, stories about him began circulating in the capital.

One claimed that the Regent had won countless victories in battle and bore scars from many blades.

Lin Muzi: No, he only had a crescent-shaped birthmark on his back. He had no blade scars.

Another claimed that the Regent had no interest in literature and was hopeless at music, chess, calligraphy, and painting.

Lin Muzi: No, he was a brilliant writer and could handle music, chess, calligraphy, and painting with ease.

A third claimed that the Regent avoided women...

Lin Muzi: Then why did he steal me away in my previous life?

Lin Muzi shook her head. As expected, stories couldn't be trusted, until one day she discovered...

The Crown Prince had a crescent-shaped birthmark on his back.

What is it like to find out that the White Moonlight was the one who stole you away in your previous life?

Lin Muzi belatedly realized: Wait, then who was the man who married her on her wedding day in her previous life?

1. One-on-one romance, both leads are sexually inexperienced, happy ending.

2. An entirely fictional setting, with a mountain of original worldbuilding.

3. The wedding-day abduction was unavoidable. The Regent from her previous life is the male lead himself.
