In her previous life, Liu Shuyu defied her family's objections and insisted on marrying Prince Chang. She watched him marry his first love and ascend the throne, only to end up stripped of her position as empress, while her father and brothers were murdered by her scumbag husband.
At last, she saw the truth: her scumbag husband had married her for the power of her family.
He had even orchestrated every bit of her tragic fate.
Reborn, Liu Shuyu returned to the day of her wedding.
Her father and brothers were alive, and the Liu family held power over the whole court.
She swore to make her scumbag husband pay back twice over!
On her wedding night, Liu Shuyu wore her bridal gown, alluring and enchanting.
The man who entered was not her husband, but the peerlessly handsome Third Prince, Xiao Chengji.
He came toward her step by step. "My Fifth Brother disappeared during the wedding ceremony, and on his wedding night he's staying in another woman's room. Does he truly love you? He wants the power of the Liu family."
The man brushed away the loose hair at her temple, his fingertip resting on her crimson lips. "Come with me, and the world will be yours."
Liu Shuyu's hatred surged. "Kill him, and I'll do whatever you say."
Xiao Chengji laughed softly. The tiny mole on her collarbone glowed red and bright. He had long yearned for her, yet could never have her.

After their marriage, Liu Shuyu grew even more captivating. Everyone praised her husband for his good fortune, but only Liu Shuyu knew who shared her bed each night.
Moonlight entered through the window, and the usually upright and proper Prince Yi began visiting her room again and again.
Later, an accident forced Liu Shuyu to put herself at the service of her scumbag husband, Xiao Chengze, and care for him.
That care made Xiao Chengze suddenly realize how wonderful she was. He began fussing over her and asking after her well-being. But one night, he caught sight of two figures in her room.
One was her. Who was the other?
Xiao Chengze froze in place, his face turning livid.
The door opened, and six eyes met.
She saw someone off, still wearing Xiao Chengji's outer robe.
Prince Yi, Xiao Chengji, was a man of exceptional talent and character, benevolent and courteous to the worthy, with all the makings of a wise ruler.
As a youth, he fell in love with a girl, but she did not love him.
The two things he regretted most were giving that girl and the position of crown prince to his younger brother.
The thing that pleased him most was personally taking the new emperor's life and avenging that girl.
The thing he was most grateful for was that he had been reborn.
In this life, his temperament changed completely. The position of crown prince would be his, and so would Liu Shuyu!
He only had to take her from his brother.
Note: The heroine only gets together with the hero after ending her relationship with her former husband!
Pre-order novel 1, "A Gift for the Villain": A bewitching beauty X a deranged powerful minister + two stand-ins + coercive love
After a treacherous minister looked at her one too many times at a palace banquet, Shen Fuxi was sent by the young emperor to work as a spy at the minister's side.
Everyone knew that Wei Sha held a mighty army in his hands and was cruel and ruthless. Even the young emperor feared him too much to lay a finger on him.
Shen Fuxi witnessed Wei Sha's brutal methods. He was a complete lunatic.
The girls previously sent to Wei Sha had never survived more than three days. To stay alive, Shen Fuxi betrayed the young emperor and revealed her identity of her own accord, managing to preserve her life for the time being.
But that could never be a long-term solution.
Shen Fuxi began to openly flirt with Wei Sha, determined to become the person dearest to him and win his protection.
But every attempt ended in failure.
Later, Shen Fuxi learned that Wei Sha had looked at her at the palace banquet because she bore a slight resemblance to the girl hidden in his heart.
That made things even easier.
Everyone had a first love, didn't they? Wei Sha resembled that person.
Shen Fuxi grew bolder, and her seduction became more brazen...
*
Because Shen Fuxi looked like the woman he loved, Wei Sha spared her life. He thought her eager flirtation was laughable and ignored it.
She could never compare to the woman in his heart.
Only later did Wei Sha discover that Shen Fuxi was the girl he had longed for all along.
One night, Shen Fuxi flirted with him again, and at last Wei Sha gave in to her wishes.
Not long afterward, Wei Sha learned that Shen Fuxi had a childhood sweetheart, her first love.
He saw the shadow of that man in her features.
At first, Wei Sha had briefly treated Shen Fuxi as a stand-in. But in the end, he was the one who had been made a stand-in.
She had said she liked his eyes and loved kissing them.
Wei Sha went mad with rage and dragged her back.
Looking down coldly at the frightened beauty with tears in her eyes, Wei Sha sneered, "How devoted you two are to each other. How dare you think of another man while you were with me?"
