In a sudden upheaval, the Duke's residence falls, and Shen Tang, the Duke's wife, is thrown into prison.
Xie Yunqi, the man she broke off her engagement with ten years ago, has risen to become the Grand Secretary, with power over her life and death.
Facing the prospect of being sold into servitude to the government, she drinks down the poison wine Xie Yunqi sends her, hoping to preserve the last of her dignity.
When she opens her eyes again, she's back at the time the Xie family was imprisoned.
[The Male Lead's Story]
In her previous life, after the Xie family was imprisoned, Xie Yunqi took the initiative to break off his engagement with Shen Tang. Desperate to embrace the woman he held dearest once more, he fought for his life in the northern lands for ten years before finally returning to the capital.
But all he embraced was Shen Tang's corpse.
When he opens his eyes again, Xie Yunqi finds himself back at the time of his imprisonment.
The woman he holds dearest is standing before him.
There's still time to change everything.
Bonus Scene
Everyone says the Grand Secretary is terribly petty. If anyone so much as looks at his wife for too long, he'll personally send them off in a carriage and exile them a thousand li away.
For example, a certain duke was sent to fill in the sea, and a certain prince was sent as a hostage to a remote, uncivilized land...
At the Xie residence, a certain Grand Secretary is on his knees on a washboard, stubbornly arguing: "If I remember right, the new top scorer in the imperial exams attended your matchmaking banquet!"
Shen Tang presses her forehead. "That was the Third Princess's matchmaking banquet. I was only there to keep her company."
The Grand Secretary immediately lowers his head. "How could I help it? You're so beautiful, I was too busy looking at you to notice the Third Princess was there..."
Outside the residence, the fiery-tempered Third Princess points both swords at the gate and yells:
"Xie Yunqi, you had the nerve to send my husband on a diplomatic mission to the Western Regions. Now have the nerve to open the gate!"

Coming next: The Demon Empress and the Treacherous Chancellor Were Made for Each Other. Please add it to your favorites 333
Qiu Yanyue was a demon empress.
Shang Youting was a treacherous chancellor.
They spent most of their lives fighting over power.
They fought to the point of mutual destruction, with both sides losing.
They never imagined that after fighting for most of their lives, they would both lose in the end.
They lost to the little emperor, whom they had always treated like a toy.
They both died unnatural deaths.
When they opened their eyes again, they were both reborn.
They had returned to the night they became enemies.
After one wild night,
Qiu Yanyue stopped taking contraceptive soup,
and Shang Youting went to the chancellor's residence to break off their engagement.
Qiu Yanyue gently lifts the sick old emperor from his bed and holds a bowl of medicine to his lips.
"Your Majesty, allow me to help you take your medicine."
"Women are such a nuisance. Why bother feeding him medicine? Just stab him with a sword and be done with it."
Shang Youting, covered in blood, holds his sword and scowls impatiently.
"Who are you planning to support this time?"
On the day of the emperor's funeral, Shang Youting pins Qiu Yanyue against the dragon throne and bullies her to his heart's content.
"Our son, of course."
Qiu Yanyue strokes her slightly rounded belly and speaks more gently than she has in either life.
"This one will definitely listen to us."
Theme: Keep striving toward a better life
Then keep it with you for ten years?! And you are still willing to help others after being reborn?! Also, given the way this person named Lin is acting now, I don't believe that she didn't like the male protagonist in her previous life. If the male protagonist wasn't blind, he should have known that. He actually took a woman who liked him and was so similar to the female protagonist for ten years, and she still hasn't explained it. Bah!
This shows that Lin Qianxue is probably attracted to the male protagonist, so she follows him as a savior. The male protagonist also needs a woman to deal with other suspicions. This makes people feel that the male protagonist has no relationship with the female protagonist and does not show his feelings for the female protagonist. The question is how could Lin Qianxue be able to do so? After the hero rescued the heroine, he was willing to get out of his own way. He probably teamed up with the heroine's husband to kill the heroine. Since Lin was a doctor, killing the heroine was not an easy task. In the final analysis, the hero was too soft-hearted and gave Lin Qianxue hope. He killed the one he loved most in his life. The heroine's previous life was too miserable.
Xie Yunqi used Lin Qianxue as a substitute in his previous life. Maybe the heroine in her previous life was the one who exchanged tricks for wine.
Xie Yunqi is not innocent at all. He is probably the murderer who indirectly harmed his sweetheart. Because she was soft-hearted, she kept the medical girl Xie for ten years. I guess the medical girl Xie thought that she would be better off if she died.
If it was really the person named Lin who killed the heroine in the previous life, that would be really disgusting.
There is a faint clue as to why I died in my previous life.
Is there a timetable for author updates?
Even if you explain it clearly, I still find it annoying. Why are you helping others when there is no emotion or kindness to speak of? So warm-hearted? Helping others knowing that they have deep thoughts? And you know that the other person is not a good person, and even if the heroine doesn't teach him a lesson, he may not have a good impression. Why not let the heroine teach him a lesson? You are by your side. Can that woman just give it to the heroine directly or what, but you have to stop the heroine from venting her anger? It makes it seem like you are making the decision for someone else if the heroine does something wrong. You say it's nothing but do things that make people misunderstand, md!
In the new year, I wish everyone good luck and all the best in the Year of the Rabbit. Pre-release of the next volume of "The Demon Queen's Traitorous Couple Made in Heaven"
