Shen Xianyi was exquisitely beautiful, with a striking allure that drew everyone's attention at every turn, like a poisonous flower forever giving off a sweet fragrance. He would stop at nothing to claim the throne, constantly using the love these people felt for him.
His trusted ministers, hidden guards, and others all served under him.
They hid their restrained, twisted love, going mad with desire for him.
When Shen Xianyi first met Xie Xuanzhi, he was already the top scholar whose name was famous throughout the capital. The young man wore a simple white robe. Handsome and refined, he was as bright and serene as a clear moon, the very image of a virtuous gentleman.
Shen Xianyi used the same old tricks, watching as Xie Xuanzhi slowly drew closer to him.
The top scholar was disciplined, proper, and extraordinarily restrained. Shen Xianyi didn't believe it, so he decided to test him. When the top scholar saw him, he simply picked up his own coat, draped it over Shen Xianyi, and gently told him he would catch a chill.

Shen Xianyi had his trusted minister killed and ordered the hidden guards executed.
When the imperial city fell, Shen Xianyi didn't want Xie Xuanzhi to be left alone in this world. So he took a sip of poison and passed it to the regent, Xie Xuanzhi, hoping to take him with him.
After watching Xie Xuanzhi drink the poison, Shen Xianyi was relieved.
But Shen Xianyi had never imagined he would be reborn.
In his new life, the throne he'd once been determined to claim suddenly lost its appeal.
His obsession was gone.
He watched them appear before him one by one, each just as they had been before.
Shen Xianyi's heart was like still water. With his obsession gone, living and dying made little difference. If they had no memories, he would take things as they came. If they wanted revenge, he would let them. It was only his life, after all.
After being reborn, Shen Xianyi did nothing, yet still ended up on the throne. Then he met Xie Xuanzhi, who was bent on revenge, and the man seemed nothing like the disciplined, virtuous gentleman he had once been.
Shen Xianyi was taken by surprise.
You want my body? Then take it.

When Xie Xuanzhi died, he hated Shen Xianyi.
He hated his coldness and ruthlessness.
He had been so overjoyed when Shen Xianyi passed him the poisoned wine, but when the pain tore through his organs, he could hardly believe it. Even after the imperial city fell, he had a way to escape with Shen Xianyi. But Shen Xianyi had betrayed him.
It was as if he'd fallen from heaven into hell in an instant.
As he drank the poisoned wine, he wanted nothing more than to kill Shen Xianyi with his own hands.
At that moment, the haughty, pampered beauty had looked at him with indifference, watching him breathe his last.
After being reborn, Xie Xuanzhi still approached Shen Xianyi as helplessly as he had in his past life.
But this time, he wanted Shen Xianyi to feel his pain. He wanted him to cry, to suffer, and to never again look at him with indifference.
Yet when Shen Xianyi let him take revenge without putting up a fight, Xie Xuanzhi felt an unbearable irritation.
A ruthless, ambitious top who becomes a brokenhearted, empty-hearted bottom x a radiant, virtuous top who becomes a vengeful husband
[Highlights]
1. Everyone is reborn. The blurb mainly features scenes from the top's perspective.
2. The bottom is a useless beauty with flaws in his personality, but he isn't some irredeemably evil person. Everything he did had its reasons, and he will face the consequences after being reborn.
3. A deliciously angsty, melodramatic, everyone-loves-him story, with a one-on-one ending.
This is the original version of the blurb.
