[Crematorium arc | Both leads reborn | Amnesia | The real and fake male leads, an intensely angsty wife-chasing crematorium arc + tons of extra-sweet bonus chapters]
On the seventh day after I died, my husband dismantled my memorial hall and threw my spirit tablet out of the ancestral shrine.
He said, “A poisonous woman like Shen Fengshu would sully the reputation of the Beiye clan even in death.”
Six months after I died, the empress bestowed a new princess consort on my husband and burned all my belongings.
She said, “Bai Jiaojiao is the one you’ve always loved. Now that Shen Fengshu is dead, you can marry her.”
One year after I died, my husband launched a coup and ascended the throne, naming his dynasty Huaixian.
He had the empress executed, wiped out the Bai clan, and posthumously honored me as Empress Yizhao.
This time, he said nothing. He only slowly ran his fingers over the old bow I had left behind.
*
In the third year of Huaixian, the dynasty flourished, and peace reigned throughout the land. My husband died on a snowy night.
The wind howled that night. He murmured my name, begging me over and over to look at him, still clutching that old bow.
I wanted so badly to tell him I had always been there, but he couldn’t hear me. I was already dead.
It was the fourth year after my death, and the seventh year since I had transmigrated into a book.
*
Shen Fengshu transmigrated into a book as the infamous daughter of the prime minister and married a sickly young prince.
The young prince was suspicious and cruel, and treated her as a substitute. Shen Fengshu did everything she could to warm his heart.
But in the end, he never trusted her.
Heartbroken, Shen Fengshu leapt from the city tower on a snowy night, proving her innocence with her life.
*
In the fourth year after her death, and the seventh year since she had transmigrated into a book, Shen Fengshu was reborn.
She forgot everything from her past life, but discovered a man who looked exactly like the young prince.
Then, after an accident, her memories returned, and she learned that this man was the young prince, reborn from his previous life.
Shen Fengshu: …I’m done. Let it all burn.

Blurb:
From a dying orphan girl to the Grand Princess, supreme over all,
Bo Enhe has married twice.
Both husbands transmigrated here.
And both died young.
Bo Enhe loved her husbands, but loved power more.
A Grand Princess doesn’t need an ambitious man.
*
Of the two, the one who left the deepest impression on Bo Enhe was the prince, gentle as jade and handsome beyond compare.
Though frail, he helped Bo Enhe seize power and rise to the top, and cared for her devotedly.
He even told her, “Enhe, in my hometown, even the Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues can’t clip a woman’s wings.”
For a while, Bo Enhe was under the illusion that she had truly fallen in love with him.
Until the prince joined forces with the disgraced crown prince to stage a coup and usurp the throne, only to die by Bo Enhe’s sword.

He had transmigrated here, too.
Bo Enhe: “No problem. Have him executed by white silk and send him back.”
“I want the wind, I want the rain, I want the realm.”

Theme: Facing hardship without fearing setbacks
I cried so much that I watched it from the beginning to the end in the early hours of the morning. Big, my heart is broken.
I had almost forgotten the previous part, but this short chapter really tortured me again.
I read this article again last night. No matter how many times I read it, I still like it (although it makes my heart ache every time I read it)
I initially chose to read this novel because the author marked in the text "Emotions are bloody as old as time" and "Chasing wife in the crematorium" - I am a native dog and I love reading [shy]. My heartbeat radar was ticking at that time, but because I had read some novels that spent a lot of time torturing the female protagonist and briefly described the process of the male protagonist chasing his wife in the crematorium, and finally left the male and female protagonists inexplicably hesitant, I no longer had any illusions about this type of novel. . .
Forget it, I told myself, just think of it as an evaluation of whether the male protagonist who chases his wife and tortures him in the crematorium in this article is realistic.
After reading the entire text, my feeling is that the author not only sent the male protagonist to the crematorium, but also burned him to ashes. . . The male protagonist is really tortured
The abuse was very real to me. When I rewatch it later, I would click on the extras first to comfort myself that they are already together. No matter how abusive the previous story is, it is just a footnote in their years and a chapter in their love journey.
It's all over anyway!
But for the male and female protagonists, can they really get over it? This is actually my biggest question when reading the article.
After all, the male protagonist in the first life performed so poorly in the field of love. He was obviously a new and ignorant student, but he was so arrogant that he dismissed it.
He just stubbornly loves the heroine in his own twisted way. However, love is not a simple treat. He cannot learn to respect and understand the heroine, nor can he learn the trust derived from love. The evidence in front of him was enough to convict the heroine. He only believed the evidence but not the sincerity. He seemed to be rational and perfect, but in fact he was ruthless enough to completely crush the heroine's hopes.
The heroine was struggling in the palace because of his cold treatment. His hatred and suspicion of the heroine was the last straw that crushed the heroine. Even though he did not want the heroine to die, he indirectly contributed to her death.
When I saw the heroine was determined to commit suicide, I wanted to chop the hero into pieces. . .
When I saw the male protagonist after the female protagonist died
It's great to read, the main text is so sad, but the extras are sweet and sad? I love it so much
"Empress Yizhao Shen Fengshu died too early", the female goose has become the past in other people's mouth5555
Where do I start from saying I love you? I have so many regrets about the two people in the first life. They all say that Luoyang is full of flowers, but I came at a time when spring was not the right time.
A lot of details really impressed me. The author writes so well.
If you don't have hatred in your eyes, you don't believe that there are white heads in the world.
My intestines are broken and my tears are hard to hold back. Acacia returns to the Little Red Building.
Finished with flowers
Ah, because of the author's great article, I added Dalai Lake, also known as Hulun Lake, to my travel list when I went to Manzhouli a while ago. But in the end, I still didn't make it after wandering around. However, passing by it at the place closest to Dalai can be regarded as a kind of fate.
Dalai Dalai, the gentle sea on the vast grassland
