Tempting Your Heart

Hua Qingqing, the youngest daughter of the Hua family, was a radiant beauty with a face like a hibiscus flower. At fifteen, she married the heir to the Prince of Runan's title, to the envy of all.

Though she was a bewitching beauty, the kind the world disapproved of, no one could find fault with her conduct. At home, she obeyed her father; after marriage, her husband. She was always gentle and obedient.

But she never expected that one day the heir to the Prince of Runan's title would put an arm around his beautiful new lover and divorce her on the spot. Worse, her parents sent her to a nunnery, calling her a disgrace for having been cast off. There, she spent the rest of her life in misery.

Reborn, Hua Qingqing has come to understand the world. Men can take three wives and four concubines and be called charming, while women are criticized even if they strictly observe their marital duties and live with the utmost care.

Since she has the face of a hibiscus beauty, why not make it her weapon? She will wield her beauty like a blade and become unstoppable.

So when the heir to the Prince of Runan's title comes to propose again, she tears up the matchmaker's letter and enters Chu Zheng's residence instead.

Chu Zheng is the Great Yan general in charge of the Imperial Secretariat. With countless military achievements and a powerful army at his command, he is at the very top of the world and a man of immense influence.

Only Hua Qingqing knows that he will one day become the new emperor.

She lowers her eyes coyly, making herself as alluring as she can. "General Chu has the aura of a true dragon. I've admired you for a long time. I would gladly be your concubine. Please let me serve you, General."

Chu Zheng is reviewing memorials. He raises an eyebrow, about to refuse, but then he sees her breathtaking beauty.

"Oh?" Chu Zheng chuckles softly. "You're beautiful, to be sure, but rather dull. If you want to serve me, you must have another motive."

Yet neither of them expected that in the end, Chu Zheng would be the one with another motive, tossing and turning, unable to sleep at night.

From then on, all of Great Yan knows that their fearsome, coldhearted general has a woman in his heart: Hua Qingqing, the bewitching beauty said to bring misfortune.

Please note:

1. After being reborn, the female lead is cold and ruthless, not kindhearted at all.

2. The male lead is a terrifying yandere, someone with extreme thoughts and behavior.
