Back Before the Prince Consort's Rebellion

In her previous life, Prince Ning's residence fell, and Ning Jiuwei was forced into a political marriage. They were attacked along the way.

She had thought Gu Xianzhang had planned it all.

But only when her husband rebelled, and risked his life to prove his innocence to her, did she realize she had never truly understood him.

The day he drank poison and was sentenced to death was the day the new emperor ascended the throne.

Standing high above the palace and looking down at the civil and military officials, Ning Jiuwei remembered that she would never see him again.

Later, she heard that Lord Gu had died with a handkerchief clutched in his hand.

When Ning Jiuwei got the handkerchief and saw the crookedly embroidered amaryllis on it, it took her a long time to remember. It was the handkerchief she'd embroidered halfway through, then casually tossed aside when she lost interest while trying to pass the time.

When Ning Jiuwei wakes up one day, she's back in the first year of her marriage to Gu Xianzhang.

Upcoming novel blurb:

Sang Nongnong offended the second young master of the Duke's household, and her father and family were targeted at court as a result.

Later, she happened to ride in a carriage belonging to the Xie family, and the young ladies at a banquet stopped giving her a hard time.

Another time, she left the same restaurant as Xie Jun, the eldest young master of the Xie family. After that, her father was no longer targeted, either.

Having heard that even the Duke's household wouldn't dare offend the Xie family, Sang Nongnong realized something and began paying attention to Xie Jun, both openly and discreetly.

Wherever he went, she went. Whatever handkerchief he used, she used one too. Whatever tea he drank, she drank too.

Before long, all sorts of rumors spread about their relationship. Some said she'd secretly pledged herself to Xie Jun, others said she was desperately pursuing the eldest young master, and still others claimed she was the unattainable first love Xie Jun could never have...

The rumors grew wilder and wilder, eventually reaching the eldest young master's ears.

The eldest young master was as elegant as an orchid or jade, gentle and refined. His voice was lovely, but always cool enough to make the back of her neck prickle.

"Miss Sang, I hear I'm hopelessly in love with you."

Once, Xie Jun happened to see Sang Nongnong at a banquet, surrounded by several young ladies.

One noble young woman couldn't resist asking her, "Sang Nongnong, does Xie Jun really like you that much? How did you manage it?"

Xie Jun stopped to listen as the girl brazenly replied, "What's so hard about that? I crook my finger, and he's head over heels. I can have him wrapped around my little finger."

*

There's a rumor that the eldest young master of the Xie family defied his family and even defied the emperor to break off his engagement, all for that young woman surnamed Sang.

As his close friend, Lu Fei tried more than once to reason with Xie Jun. "Sang Nongnong is clearly only after your status, power, and family background. She doesn't truly care about you!"

But the clever eldest young master refused to listen when it came to this.

"Then why is she only after me and not someone else?"
