Supporting Female Lead, Don’t Get Murderous

The ex's long road to regret [A real reckoning]

Lin Yan'er was reborn on the night before she was to be sent off as a replacement bride.

In her previous life, she was born to a modest family as a concubine's daughter, with no one to rely on. After being married into the prince's residence in her older sister's place, she lived a miserable life and died. No one even remembered she had existed.

In this life, she didn't want to be a puppet on a string. She wanted to live! So she took the initiative and climbed into Rong Yan's bed.

Rong Yan was only a guard in the prince's residence, but he had been an outstanding student since childhood, and was handsome and dignified. He was highly valued by the heir apparent and was even said to be on the verge of being recommended for a position in the palace.

At the time, Lin Yan'er was trapped in a mire, unable to escape. Just one glance upward made her feel as if she were looking at a god.

No one had ever smiled at her. Rong Yan was the first.

So, after being reborn, she knelt before Rong Yan and begged him to show her mercy. He smiled and helped her up, promising solemnly that he would protect her. She thought she'd really found a god of her own.

Later, Yan'er was drowned in a lake. The icy water soaked her already disheveled clothes.

The man who had promised to protect her for the rest of her life stood on the shore. Just a few hours earlier, he had been planning to give her to someone else as a concubine.

In the seventh year of the Sang dynasty, the Crown Prince chose a consort. Instead of choosing a highborn young lady as a political bargaining chip, he brought a breathtakingly beautiful woman with no connections to his side and bestowed upon her the honor of Crown Princess.

Rong Yan, the usually composed Vice Minister, grabbed Yan'er's clothes with bloodshot eyes and pleaded, “Yan'er, it's you, isn't it? You've come back?”

Lin Yan'er cast him a sidelong glance, calmly pulled her clothes back, and said to the Crown Prince beside her, “Your Highness, there's a madman here.”

The guards dragged Rong Yan, once a favorite before the Emperor, off to prison. Lin Yan'er never looked back.

Though Ying Shaowei was Crown Prince, his frail health meant he had been raised in a palace away from the capital since childhood.

His world was simple: Go, calligraphy and painting, his eunuch grandfather, and later, Lin Yan'er.

He rescued her in the wilderness and gave her a new identity and name. With no past or future between them, he simply liked this woman whose eyes could speak.

She never hid her ambition. She always spoke up about what she wanted.

So when he returned to the Eastern Palace, he brought her with him.

He would take back, bit by bit, what belonged to him. And he was confident he could make the woman he loved fall for him, too.

He, Ying Shaowei, was no useless coward. He was a member of the imperial family, raised well by his mother, and deserved to rule the world.

The second male lead takes the lead, while the original male lead faces a long road to regret.
