The Beloved Moonlight Who Faked Their Death Is Back Again

Regent Prince Li Ke held all the power in court and could do whatever he pleased.

Yet someone saw him kneeling before the new empress in the palace, begging, "Don't leave me..."

No one knew that, when he was exiled to the northern deserts, a young woman whose engagement he had broken had packed her bags and helped him endure six long years.

For him, she gave up her brother and had no family left.

For him, she gave up a life of luxury and lowered herself to serve as a slave.

For him, she gave up her family, and from then on the world called her the disgrace of Great Jing...

Beneath the parasol tree, they had pledged their love. He swore he would love only her for the rest of his life.

But then he turned around, married her off to someone else, and returned to the capital to ask for the princess's hand.

When the young woman heard the news, she finally died of illness on the eve of his wedding. From that day on, grief tore through his heart, and blood flowed across Great Jing.

Five years passed in a flash. He eliminated his enemies and twisted right and wrong, and no one at court dared question him.

With a casual laugh over drinks, he arranged for the daughter of a county official to marry the young emperor, who could only swallow his bitterness in silence.

Then one day, beneath the parasol tree, the new empress he had forced to marry another man answered when he called her "Yunniang."

From that moment on, he fell into a hell from which he would never escape.

Meng Shuyun transmigrated after a car accident. To get another chance at life, she reluctantly accepted a mission: help the Son of Fortune, Li Ke, reach the top and win a beautiful, rich wife.

Who could have guessed that after she finally completed the mission, she'd learn she'd mistaken the Son of Fortune? The real one was about to die at the hands of the unhinged villain.

She was so furious that she fainted on the spot, then had to press her philtrum and go back to redo the task.

But when she transmigrated again, Li Ke had become a mad regent prince who ruled over everyone and held the power of life and death. Only then did she realize Li Ke was the unhinged villain who had been obstructing the real Son of Fortune.

And she was already married to the real Son of Fortune.

Note: An old-school, slow-to-speak Mary Sue story focused on the romance, not a power fantasy, and the heroine isn't strong. The author can't tell the difference between angsting the male lead and angsting the female lead. After the heroine fakes her death and returns, there will be a love triangle. No other content warnings come to mind.

[Will the Demon Queen Fall for the Immortal Sect's Young Wolf?]

After Li Qingwan woke up, she found she had become a bit-part character in a cultivation novel about an Immortal Lord and a pure, innocent furnace physique. She had no family or friends, and was sickly to boot.

With the villagers' help, she clumsily began her life in another world. (Not really.)

A few years later, her exceptionally beautiful body landed her in a clichéd plot where the county magistrate's son tries to force a commoner girl to marry him.

Unexpectedly, a young boy from the neighboring household, who had suffered years of abuse from his stepmother, rushed out and glared at the servants with a hoe in his hands. "A'Wan, run!"

"How many times have I told you? Call me Sis..." Before Li Qingwan could finish, a sword suddenly pierced her heart and killed her.

Memories flooded back. She realized she was the villainess who had fallen in love with the male lead, Daoist Lord Yanshen, but couldn't have him, and eventually became the Demon Queen.

Xue Buqi had been abused by his stepmother since childhood and went through life numb and detached.

Until his father brought home a beautiful young woman. She would secretly slip him pastries and quietly teach him to read, but she suffered humiliation outside because of a woman.

So he secretly saved money. Once he had enough silver, he could marry A'Wan, so she would never be alone or bullied again.

But when the county magistrate tried to force her into marriage, she was stabbed to death.

He joined an immortal sect and became the widely admired senior disciple of Daoist Lord Yanshen, all to avenge A'Wan.

And when he discovered that A'Wan had become the Demon Queen because of Daoist Lord Yanshen, he turned to the demonic path and became a demon general.

Facing A'Wan, who had reclaimed her throne as Demon Queen but forgotten everything about the village, he didn't need her to remember. All he wanted was to stay by her side forever.

When Li Qingwan reclaimed her place as Demon Queen, she noticed that a handsome, taciturn young man had joined the demon generals.

The boy was so good-looking that he hit her right in the heart.

So one night, with darkness all around, she beckoned to him. "Why are you kneeling there? Come kneel on my bed."

[Bound Hands]

Gong Zhiyu has a secret buried in his heart: he's been in love with his twin brother's girlfriend, Yi Yi, for ten years.

As the heir to the Gong family, he has to be composed and restrained, always planning several steps ahead.

As the older brother, he has to put up with his younger brother's irresponsible decision to become a singer.

And as the older brother, he has to behave with perfect propriety around his younger brother's girlfriend, hiding his feelings in a secret corner of his heart.

So deep in that corner, he comes to think he no longer loves her.

Until the day his younger brother and Yi Yi break up. He runs into her, dead drunk, at a bar.

She kisses him.

At last, he remembers that afternoon during graduation season: the soft strand of black hair hanging over her forehead, her delicate fingertips touching his face,

and the way his heart had raced.

Only then does he realize he hasn't forgotten a thing, and never could.

Ever since Yi Yi started dating Gong Zhihuo in high school, she'd always been a little afraid of his twin brother.

How could two people have the same face and such completely different personalities?

To stand with her boyfriend, who couldn't stand his brother, she had kept her distance from Gong Zhiyu ever since she started dating Gong Zhihuo seven years ago.

Until the two of them broke up. She went to a bar to drink away her sorrows, saw Gong Zhihuo's familiar face, and kissed him through her tears.

But the familiar face wore an unfamiliar, dark expression. "Do you know who you're kissing right now?"
