After Marrying the Ailing General (Both Reborn)

The main story is complete. Duke of Wucheng Du Yuwen thought his life had been absurd. At a young age, he had won great military victories, earning so much merit that he could be given no higher rank or reward. He never imagined he would be tricked into the palace in secret and tormented in every way. So all he wished for was death. Until one day, he heard a soft sob from the other side of the wall. Li Qingyi was the least favored princess, a discarded empress's legacy. The emperor himself called her stupid and wicked. Most people in the palace either ignored her or bullied her at will. Whenever she was wronged, all she could do was cry somewhere secluded, until one day she heard a man sigh from the Cold Palace and gently comfort her. She gradually learned that a sickly man was locked away there, coughing incessantly. Yet he often comforted her from behind that thin palace wall. Later, Du Yuwen's illness became grave, and there was no hope of saving him. The emperor put on a show of sorrow, telling the public that Heaven was jealous of such talent, and bestowed the princess upon him to continue his line. It was the young girl who so often wept alone, the girl he couldn't stop worrying about even with his eyes closed. Yet he opened his eyes once more and saw the familiar, dilapidated Cold Palace. This time, he would find a way to survive and make those who bullied his girl pay in blood. She was so wonderful. She deserved all the glory and riches this world could offer. *Both leads are virgins. Angst before they are reborn, sweetness afterward. Escaping an unhappy family background. Coming soon: The Princess Is Heartless A ruthless, ambitious woman pretending to be a eunuch + a principled, nurturing man Regent Lu Xichao has fallen. He was sentenced to death, but his family was spared as a sign of imperial grace. The greatest contributor to the case against the regent was naturally the Chief Eunuch Xu Qingshu. People said that though she was young and beautiful, she was deep-minded and ruthless, and even Lu Xichao, who had ruled as regent for seven years, could not defeat her. Now this Chief Eunuch looked down at the corpse of her old enemy, abandoned in the wilderness after three years of struggle. Her face was impassive as she pondered a question that shook her to the core. After drinking the poisoned wine, Lu Xichao still had half a breath left. She alone knew this secret. In the end, she reached out and took her dying former enemy home. "He can't die yet. I still have something to ask him." She wanted to ask whose name had been written in the succession edict on the night the late emperor died seven years ago. Was it my father, the Crown Prince, or this hot-tempered, ungrateful third uncle? Or perhaps none of that mattered. "If you could help my useless third uncle secure the throne, then you can pay me back with a throne of my own." And surely it was only fair to collect a little interest, too.
