[Complete]
Si Yuanrou is empress, a dazzling beauty and the jewel of the imperial harem, yet her husband despises and humiliates her.
She has no idea what she did wrong. Only on the brink of death does she learn that her cousin took her place as the woman her husband cherished, while he mistook Si Yuanrou for a schemer who had wronged her cousin.
After being reborn, Si Yuanrou has no desire to reconcile with her ex-husband. As luck would have it, her cousin is reborn too and gets to her ex-husband first.
Si Yuanrou wishes them a happy marriage, takes the family fortune without hesitation, and marries her ex-husband's uncle, Xiao Huaisheng, to bring him good fortune.
Prince Huai, Xiao Huaisheng, protected the Great Yuan for ten years, only to end up burdened by a heavy toll of killing and a grave illness. He grows ever more obsessive and ruthless. Surely a delicate flower like Si Yuanrou won't last more than a few days in Prince Huai's manor.
Her ex-husband and cousin wait eagerly for the spectacle, only to see Prince Huai cherish Si Yuanrou like a priceless treasure, caring for her with the utmost devotion. They are left with no choice but to keep their heads down and dutifully honor their elders.
No one knows that every night in the prince's manor, Prince Huai rests quietly with his head on his beauty's lap.
And no one could ever know that he protected the young woman in both her lives.
Si Yuanrou sees Xiao Huaisheng as her only way to survive, unaware that she is Xiao Huaisheng's only salvation.

Her perspective:
Gu Xiqing is the beloved daughter of the Marquis of Jiayi, raised with every indulgence. Her family arranges a betrothal for her, and she falls for her fiance, Jiang Jinci, at first sight. Jiang Jinci, however, clearly has no affection for her.
The pastries she sends him are put away, and she never sees him eat even one. He never uses the handkerchief she embroidered for him, either. She assumes Jiang Jinci is proper and reserved, unwilling to grow close to her before marriage, and looks forward to him returning her feelings once they're wed.
Then she accidentally brushes his hand, and Jiang Jinci immediately washes his hands again and again in the icy lake. Her heart turns cold, too.
Jiang Jinci is a cold, hard stone. She'll find another husband, someone who loves her and is willing to cherish her!
His perspective:
Jiang Jinci is the powerful regent of the empire, greatly relied upon by the young emperor, and handsome enough to be the dream man of countless noblewomen in the capital. Yet he keeps his distance from women, always proper and reserved. Unable to be physically close to women, he has long prepared himself for a lonely life. Then he gets a little fiancee. She is lively and adorable, but he remains unmoved.
The young woman is hurt and turns around to give the food meant for him to another man.
Jiang Jinci thinks that's for the best. They won't hold each other back.
One day, Gu Xiqing falls into the water. Jiang Jinci goes to save her alone and discovers that he can actually touch her. He hurries to her home with betrothal gifts, only to hear Gu Xiqing say, "You've come at just the right time. Let's break off the engagement."
Only then does Jiang Jinci realize that the matchmakers at the Marquis of Jiayi's residence are lined up, and Gu Xiqing already has potential fiancees one, two, three, and four...
A little scene:
Jiang Jinci asks cautiously, "Qingqing, tell me, am I to your liking today? Can you stop going to see..." Other men.
Gu Xiqing waves her delicate hand. "I'm definitely going out."
Jiang Jinci's face darkens. He scoops her up and carries her into the room. She cries out, "You lecher! Where's your self-restraint?"
Jiang Jinci tightens his hold on her waist and seals her soft lips with his!
Everyone knows the regent has found his beloved and that the couple are devoted to each other. No one knows how hard it is to swallow the jealousy he brought on himself!
