[My other novel, The Chancellor's Doomed-Early Mute Wife, is currently being serialized. Come give it a read!]
Gu Qingyin is the eldest legitimate daughter of the Cheng'en Marquis's household. Virtuous, eloquent, beautiful, and accomplished, she is chosen to be the Crown Prince's consort.
From Crown Princess to Empress and then Empress Dowager, Gu Qingyin has propriety and discipline ingrained in her bones. Generous and compassionate, she is the mother of the realm and a model of feminine virtue.
An accident sends Gu Qingyin back to the age of fifteen, before she is betrothed.
She no longer has to arrange a selection of consorts for Xiao Weilin, painstakingly deal with the concubines' jealous rivalries, or exhaust herself raising Xiao Weilin's children under the title of Empress.
Relieved, Gu Qingyin decides to live for herself this time. She will never set foot in the palace again.
Xiao Weilin was born Crown Prince. From the time he could understand the world, he took it as his duty to govern it. After ascending the throne, he worked tirelessly and governed with diligence, only to die of overwork two years later.
Unwilling to accept his fate, he refused to be reincarnated.
Only after seeing Gu Qingyin raise the heir he had chosen into a capable ruler and support his ascent to the throne did Xiao Weilin finally let go of his obsession.
He had never liked Gu Qingyin's dull, uninteresting nature, but he had to admit that in ability and character, she was undeniably worthy of being Empress.
Reborn, Xiao Weilin resolves to treat her better. He can only feel at ease with her as Empress.
When the Qionghua Banquet arrives, the very event where they first met in their previous lives, Xiao Weilin waits in vain for her.
A few days later, Gu Qingyin leaves the capital, heading a thousand miles away.
A few more days pass, and Gu Qingyin is no longer in the capital. She has shed her former reserve and is chatting happily with a man traveling with her!
Xiao Weilin: ?!!!!
Has the Empress abandoned me?!
Reading Guide:
1. Both leads are reborn. In their previous lives, the male lead had concubines. After being reborn, they are devoted to each other, with no other partners.
2. A groveling-and-redemption story with angsty, coercive romance and other melodramatic tropes. Please read with caution if these aren't for you.
3. The most important thing is to enjoy reading. If a story makes you uncomfortable, pick another one; there are plenty of good books out there. Please don't make personal attacks. Let's keep things peaceful and loving.

Damn it, does the male protagonist also have amnesia? He actually has the nerve to say that the female protagonist is heartless [rolls eyes] If the female protagonist is reborn and finds that she still has to struggle with the scumbag, I don't know how many years it will take. I'll really break down, give him two blows, and then die together.
Originally it was just the male protagonist who was disgusting, but now both the male and female protagonists have become disgusted with each other. The female protagonist is getting more and more disgusting...? Why don't you stay in the palace and torture each other with the male protagonist? I feel tired for the female protagonist while washing her feet carefully and running away perfunctorily. If Xiao Qingmei had the starting conditions of a female protagonist, she would have become the empress dowager by now. The female protagonist's hypocrisy and submissiveness are written as if she wants to refuse but welcome 💔 Sisters, if you want to post it, just post it directly, why do you have to find so many excuses, there is no such thing as pure and simple
The female protagonist lived a pure life in her previous life. She has never seen all the ups and downs and will only shout slogans after her rebirth. A set of womanly kindness + hard-to-get play has no use at all except for going. The male protagonist will go around and around to return to the starting point and then move forward on the path of his beloved wife; My mood is extremely unstable. If I'm not stable, then I'm not stable. I'm also very expressive. [Hold up my chin] I thought I was some kind of little bird when my face suddenly puffed up and then blushed. I was thinking in a daze that I was watching a documentary about the youth of boys and girls. I didn't lose my memory even after being reborn. Why did I become softer and softer after a long time?
Starting to update slowly again
There is no crematorium at all. The heroine is soft-hearted from beginning to end, allowing the scumbag to take advantage of everything. No matter how he makes it, it will be beneficial to him.
The hero blocked the road again
Why is the heroine so childish and soft all of a sudden and yet she is not allowed to follow her anymore? Such weak nonsense, what about a kitten acting like a baby? The heroine is not just a spoiled wife.
The whole article about chasing the wife at the crematorium felt a little bit sadistic about the female protagonist. The male protagonist in the beginning was really scumbag and understood. What kept me reading was thinking about how to abuse the male protagonist later on, and I felt that it wasn't very abusive at all, so I skipped a few scenes in the middle to read it. On the contrary, the extra story was quite good.
[Orange Candy] Got it, looking forward to the extra episode!
I didn't feel like I was abusing the male protagonist, and the female protagonist was simply not capable of abusing him. This man took all the benefits
