In her previous life, Yi Mengshi, born to a family of minor officials, married Han Yi, the capital's most notorious playboy heir, on the strength of her family's reputation.
But even after she gave him everything, body and soul, the man never treasured a thing about her.
Yi Mengshi knew Han Yi adored beautiful women. The singers and dancers in his pleasure houses all had willowy waists and enchanting charms.
He remembered the likes and dislikes of every beauty he'd doted on, sparing no expense to please them.
Yet he never remembered what she liked, or her birthday. And when she needed him to stand up for her, he was never at her side.
She married him in this life and bleakly managed their marriage alone, forever humbling herself and groveling for his favor.
As she lay dying, the man let her and their child perish in a raging fire for the sake of another woman.
Reborn into a new life, Yi Mengshi finally saw the truth. She decided to leave behind this block of ice that could never be warmed and find a man who would truly love her.
*
Han Yi was the capital's most privileged and dissolute playboy heir, spending his days seeking pleasure and his nights in debauchery.
Countless beauties surrounded him, and an endless stream of noblewomen were willing to serve him.
In his previous life, he neglected his wife, allowing his beloved beauties to mistreat her and their cruel families to bully her.
But when someone framed him, his pregnant wife was the only one who ran around trying to save him. Even after being tortured, she never once despised him.
Only then did Han Yi understand who was truly worthy of his affection.
But when he changed his ways and wanted to spend the rest of his life with her, she had already died with hatred in her heart, leaving behind only a box of ashes.
From then on, the man spent every day before his wife's memorial tablet, weeping in repentance.
When he opened his eyes again, he had returned to his distant youth and met his wife as a young girl. Han Yi vowed not to fail her in this life.
But things did not go as he wished. No matter how hard he tried to win her over, she treated him like a demon or a venomous snake. Han Yi discovered that in this life, she had another lover.
His eyes reddened. He used every bit of his power to force her into marriage and keep her by his side, but all he got in return was endless sarcasm and icy rejection.
In their bedchamber, he wrapped her in his arms, holding her in his domain. His eyes were bloodshot, and his voice was tender and low, yet suffocating:
Yi Mengshi, you are my wife. If you keep thinking about that man outside, I'll make him wish he were dead!
Watching her willingly make love to him for the sake of her former lover brought Han Yi no joy, only endless bitterness.
Please read before starting (content warnings): Both leads are reborn. The heroine is reborn first, the hero later. The hero was not a virgin in his previous life! Both leads are virgins in this life!
After being reborn, the heroine's love for the hero is gone, and her memories of her previous life involving him are incomplete, leading to many misunderstandings in this life.
Her love and memories gradually return later in the story. However, the love she feels for him in this life is different from what she felt in her previous life, and this will be explained.
The butterfly effect means many things are different between their past and present lives, so the leads cannot resolve every problem one by one. This is not a wish-fulfillment rebirth story.
Even with these warnings, there may still be things some readers find upsetting. It's impossible to account for everything, so please read with an open mind. If it's not for you, feel free to leave. (Bows.)
To ensure the quality of the story, feel free to criticize the characters for their writing or behavior, but please don't criticize the author. (I'll cry.)
This story is fictional. Any resemblance to real people or events is purely coincidental.

Before losing her memory, Song Qianling was a lofty princess of the main imperial line. Because she was in love with Su Lancheng, she often used her status to get close to him. She would either interfere with his work or spread rumors that the two of them were having an affair. She even abused her power to make him a regular at the government offices for no reason, then kindly offered to vouch for him. Su Lancheng endured it for a long time, while Song Qianling thoroughly enjoyed herself.
After losing her memory, the down-and-out Song Qianling became a maid in the Su household of the General's Residence. Since Su Lancheng recognized her as an old acquaintance, he arranged for her to be his foot-washing maid. He also lied, claiming she'd been sold to the General's Residence as a child, and that he'd bought her out of pity when he saw her on the street. Otherwise, she would have starved to death.
Song Qianling, with no memory of the past, was moved to tears. She swore by the lamplight that she would serve as a slave for the rest of her life to repay the Su household and her young master's kindness.
Su Lancheng, the legitimate son of the General's Residence, was born into a military family but was neither crude nor barbaric. In the eyes of the world, he was a true gentleman of virtue.
He had studied the teachings of Confucius and Mencius from a young age, so he rarely made enemies. Yet there was always a Song Qianling who treated him like a thorn in her side and made his life miserable. Educated in the ways of the sages, Su Lancheng wouldn't allow himself to lay a hand on a woman, especially one as noble and pampered as a legitimate princess.
But the more he tolerated her, the worse she became. She even drove a wedge between him and the woman he loved. From then on, he loathed Song Qianling.
When she lost her memory and fell into hardship, Su Lancheng had no intention of getting involved. But she looked so pitiful that he took pity on her and let her stay by his side, offering her a meal.
Only Su Lancheng knew the truth: he wasn't being soft-hearted. He was using his position to get revenge.
But without her princess airs, the amnesiac Song Qianling was a soft little rabbit in front of him: charming, gentle, and obedient. Su Lancheng let down his guard, and little by little, she captivated his heart. He gradually fell for her, and from then on, he descended step by step into villainy.
Watching her speak in a soft, delicate voice and bend to his will, Su Lancheng, usually so composed and self-restrained, lost the gentlemanly bearing he'd kept for years. He could think of nothing but the irresistible charm of her sitting in his arms, calling him "Young Master" in a voice that was both heartrending and sweet.
Short Scene One:
An old saying goes, "Taking advantage of someone in trouble is no act of a gentleman."
At first, Su Lancheng tricked her just to vent his anger and get even.
But as time passed, he saw Song Qianling growing close to the servants of the Su household. She ate snacks brought by the young servants and wore jewelry given to her by others. He suddenly realized that instead of easing his anger, it only made him angrier.
Su Lancheng: A gentleman restrains himself and returns to propriety. Restrain myself and return to propriety. Restrain myself and return to propriety...
Song Qianling: Young Master, may I take tomorrow off? I want to go out with the young man who chops the firewood.
Su Lancheng: To hell with restraining myself and returning to propriety!
Short Scene Two:
In Su Lancheng's study
Say "Young Master" for me.
But didn't I call you that yesterday?
Do you have a problem with it?
Song Qianling shook her head like a rattle, her eyes darting around. "No, Young Master..." (in a sweet, delicate voice)
The man, satisfied, pinched her chin and smiled. "Keep going."
The hero, on the bed: Seduce me, right now!
The heroine: ???
Su Lancheng, a weirdo with a strange kink who wants his wife to seduce him, pretending to be aloof while being honest at heart.
Theme: Don't wait until someone is gone to realize how precious they are

If the heroine has no memory of getting along with the hero, doesn't she also have memories of her past life experiences? Why would someone who was the wife of a noble family in her previous life panic and not know how to deal with it when something happens, and she always seems to swallow her anger and feel very useless.
A male lead like this is not as good as a second male lead
Only when the female protagonist has a relationship with the second male protagonist is the true abuse of the male protagonist. To be honest, the male protagonist does not love the female protagonist at all. The author himself does not know it. He thinks he loves the female protagonist, but in fact he is just grateful because the female protagonist saved him and moved him. Even if he really loves the female protagonist, it is just because he is moved.
I'm ready to forgive you now, the heroine is too cheap...
Mainly because it's already chapter 109 and I haven't started abusing the male protagonist yet. . . This article is not going to be serialized to 200 chapters, right?
Ah, this can be done, but it's too far-fetched. Who did the second male lead offend...
Not only is the male protagonist inexperienced, he has experienced hundreds of battles in his previous life.
This male protagonist has been like this all his life, how can he still be clean?
Why is the heroine still being abused after rebirth? Wasn't she unlucky enough in her previous life? Just because she made a mistake sincerely, she has to bear the price for two lifetimes. It's really off-putting to be with such a disgusting and selfish man.
God, the second male lead is so innocent, what's going on?
