Reborn, I Married My Ex-Husband's Archrival

Everyone in the capital knew that Ye Shanyan was in love with Gu Baiyang.

Gu Baiyang knew it too.

She had confessed to him many times and been rejected, and had become a laughingstock in the capital.

Just when she loved him most, the emperor granted a marriage decree, betrothing her to Jiang Rugu, the Crown Prince's tutor.

She thought married life would be a chaotic mess, but it turned out to be peaceful. She didn't have to serve her parents-in-law or compete with concubines, and naturally, she didn't pay much attention to her husband either.

In that kind of life, she gradually fell in love with the mature and steady Jiang Rugu.

Just when she loved her husband most, Gu Baiyang came looking for her.

He said he had been reborn.

He said that in their previous life they had married and loved each other, and that Jiang Rugu had used every means at his disposal to steal her away.

He said that this time he wouldn't let go, and would grow old together with her.

Ye Shanyan naturally believed that they had married in their previous life, but what she didn't tell Gu Baiyang was that she had also been reborn.

All that talk of a loving marriage was a lie.

Because in her previous life, she had personally seen through Gu Baiyang: a thoroughly rotten man who was unfaithful to his wife and cruel to his concubines.

Jiang Rugu had been reborn, back to a time before his wife married that scumbag of an ex-husband.

Without the slightest hesitation, he went to ask the emperor for her hand in marriage. In this life, he would never let her suffer all the things she had endured in her previous one.

The emperor said, "But everyone in the capital knows Miss Ye loves Gu Baiyang. Isn't it wrong of you to take her by force like this?"

Jiang Rugu replied, "If I wait until the woman I love becomes someone else's wife, Your Majesty will feel sorry for me."

The female lead is reborn, not transmigrated. She is a native of the ancient world.

In her previous life, the female lead was not a virgin, while the male lead was.

In this life, both leads are virgins.

The female lead is a face-con, and only likes the second male lead's looks.

Both leads are reborn. The female lead is reborn later than the male lead, and the second male lead is also reborn.

The setting is fictional, so please don't nitpick the historical details.
