Both reborn | Amnesia | Running away while pregnant | The husband chases his wife to the crematorium

I died on the day the Prince Regent returned in triumph.

He conquered my country, killed my brother, and forced me to abort the child I was carrying.

I begged him desperately, but he merely held the princess he loved and tossed down divorce papers, telling me to get out.

So, amid his broken howls, I threw myself off a cliff.

Reborn, Dugu Yao vowed not to repeat her past mistakes. On the way to her political marriage, she leapt from the carriage to escape

Only to hit her head and lose her memory.

She forgot her previous life and this one, believing herself to be the youngest daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo.

Full of joy, she married the legendary God of War, her husband from her previous life, the Prince Regent Feng Jiang.

The Prince Regent doted on her beyond measure, giving her fine clothes and delicious food and treating her with the utmost care. Dugu Yao always felt as if she had somehow gotten him back after losing him.

On their wedding night, she gazed timidly at Feng Jiang. "Your Highness, why are you so good to me?"

The Prince Regent drew her into his arms, holding her so tightly it was as if he wanted to press her into his very bones.

"I once swore to protect Yao Yao and keep her safe for the rest of her life."

Blurb:

On the seventh day after I died, my husband tore down my mourning hall and threw my memorial tablet out of the ancestral shrine.

He said, "A wicked woman like Shen Fengshu would sully the reputation of the Beiye clan even in death."

Six months after I died, the Empress arranged a new princess consort for my husband and burned all my belongings.

She said, "Bai Jiaojiao is your first love. Now that Shen Fengshu is dead, you can marry her."

One year after I died, my husband staged a coup, ascended the throne, and named the dynasty Huaixian.

He ordered the Empress's death, exterminated the Bai clan, and posthumously made me 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 prospered, the country enjoyed peace, and my husband died on a snowy night.

The wind howled that night. He murmured my name, begging me to look at him, still clutching that old bow.

I wanted to tell him I had always been there, but he couldn't hear me, because I was already dead.

It was the fourth year after my death, and the seventh year since I had transmigrated into the book.

*

Shen Fengshu transmigrated into the body of the notorious daughter of the Chancellor and married the sickly young prince.

The young prince was sinister and suspicious, treating her as a substitute. Shen Fengshu tried everything she could to warm his heart.

But in the end, he never trusted her.

Heartbroken, Shen Fengshu threw herself 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 the book, Shen Fengshu was reborn.

She forgot everything from her previous life, but discovered a man who looked exactly like the young prince.

Then, after an accident, her memories returned, and she learned that the man was the young prince, reborn from his previous life.

Shen Fengshu: ...I'm done. Let's just destroy everything.
