Reborn Alongside the New Emperor

---------------- Novel Blurb ---------------- The day the new emperor stormed into the capital, corpses piled up outside the gates of the great families. The head of the Liang family led everyone in bowing and pledging allegiance. At the time, Shen Yuexi had been married into the Liang family for ten years. She was gravely ill, clinging to her last breath. Yet the new emperor forced the Liang family to write a divorce agreement, then took her as his empress. The frail woman, too weak to rise from her couch, was breathtakingly beautiful. She wept softly. "Your Majesty rules the whole realm. Why insist on marrying a woman like me, who is about to die?" As she breathed her last, she failed to hear the emperor's words clearly. All she saw were his eyes, black as ink, with no hint of daylight. When she opened her eyes again, Shen Yuexi had returned to her youth. And the beggar waiting for her charity looked almost exactly like the new emperor, Pei Yanzhou! Her heart pounding, she handed him a bun. The young Pei Yanzhou smiled with such innocence that it was impossible to imagine the merciless killer he would become. Only then did Shen Yuexi realize that she and Pei Yanzhou had known each other as children. Reborn, Shen Yuexi wanted nothing more than to live peacefully by her father's side and avoid dying young. Later, she saw the young Pei Yanzhou struggling desperately in the mud, fighting to survive like an ant, and couldn't help reaching out to him. She thought that if she and Pei Yanzhou called each other brother and sister in this life, things would surely turn out differently from before. But when she was happily preparing for her wedding, Pei Yanzhou, now in command of an army, stood before her home. Shadows roiled in his eyes. "Shen Yuexi, in every life, you can only ever be mine." The emperor from her previous life and the man before her seemed to merge into one. Shen Yuexi was shocked to remember that these were the very words Pei Yanzhou, then emperor, had spoken as she died in her previous life! -- Pei Yanzhou knew Shen Yuexi was softhearted. He deliberately showed her his wounds and misery to win her sympathy and draw her close. But she didn't know that she was an obsession buried deep in his bones, or the mountains of blades and seas of blood he had crossed just to see her again. Even if they were fated to be apart in this life, he would defy fate itself to be with her for all eternity! Reader's Guide: 1.
