Blurb 1:
Hua Yiyi lost both her parents when she was young. At seven, she went to live with her maternal aunt, whose husband was a concubine-born son-in-law in the family of the current chief minister. The household rules were strict, so she was careful in everything she did and watched everyone around her.
As she grew older, she blossomed into a beauty and became engaged to her childhood friend and cousin, Xu Luyao.
Just as she was filled with joy, some strange twist of fate led to an ambiguous relationship with Xu Jingzhi, the eldest son of the second branch and the Xu family's prized heir.
Everyone knew Xu Jingzhi as cool-headed, self-disciplined, and a true gentleman, the designated successor to the Xu family. She was terrified.
After that day, everything suddenly changed beyond recognition. Her cousin fell in love with someone else and wanted to break off their engagement. With her life turned upside down, she found herself entangled with Xu Jingzhi once again...
Blurb 2: Li Qiubai was reborn. In her previous life, she was a princess of the current dynasty, noble and much loved. She even married Xu Jingzhi, the Xu family's prized heir, making all the noble young ladies in the capital envy her.
She never imagined Xu Jingzhi was a madman. After becoming chief minister, he controlled the emperor, seized military power, and slaughtered the great clans. He was cold-blooded and ruthless, and even killed her.
Fortunately, Xu Luyao, an obscure concubine-born son of the Xu family, became a great general and killed the wicked minister Xu Jingzhi. Since she had been reborn, perhaps she could change her marriage today.
As for Hua Yiyi, Xu Luyao's fiancée, Li Qiubai detested her looks and mannerisms, and she was destined to die young anyway. She might as well get tangled up with Xu Jingzhi.
But to her dismay, this time she still didn't get her wish. Instead, she saw Xu Jingzhi treat that lowborn woman like a precious treasure.
A beauty who seems delicate but is resilient within vs. a regent who seems noble and upright but is a madman inside
