Prince Xuan was brilliant and ambitious, learned and eloquent.
Yet only toward her, frail and delicate, was he tender as water and considerate in every way.
He Wei was swept up in his tenderness and couldn't pull herself free. Even if she could only be his kept woman, she was happy to accept it.
Only when she died did she unexpectedly discover how false and ruthless this man was.
He had manipulated her fate and made her utterly devoted to him because her true identity was that of a princess lost to the outside world.
Reborn three years in the past,
with her golden finger, wouldn't it be better to build a career of her own?
In his previous life, he lost the contest for the crown prince's position.
He also lost He Wei, the kept woman he loved most.
Stubbornly, he stormed the imperial palace to force the emperor to abdicate, but failed and took his own life. No one even claimed his corpse.
Reborn, he decided to mend his ways. He no longer wanted the insubstantial throne. All he wanted was to treat his precious princess, his kept woman, well and have two children in three years. But, unexpectedly... before he could tell her what he planned to do differently this time, she stabbed him and ran off with his strategist?
And that's not all.
Three months later, she was nestled against his strategist, Rong Chuan, smiling sweetly.
Chu Yao: Damn it!
All those schemes in my previous life were thought up by that bastard Rong Chuan!
Rong Chuan smiled faintly and thoughtfully shielded her behind him: Your Highness, don't frighten my wife!
Chu Yao: Wife? My... wife?
In the end, he became the one whose heart was broken.
Reader's Guide:

2. The second male lead takes the male lead's place, so Rong Chuan is the hero!
