The ex-husband's road to redemption / both reborn + this is a sweet romance!
Shen Guanyin was born into an aristocratic family and was clever from a young age. She was a renowned talent in Shengjing. At sixteen, she completed a couplet for an imperial poem, making a sensation and earning fame throughout the capital.
Following the emperor's wishes, she married Xiao Yijing, the crown prince.
Just one year later, treacherous ministers framed the Eastern Palace. The crown prince was demoted and exiled to Shuozhou.
She stood by him through those years at his lowest, through the heady extravagance of power, all the way to his ascension to the throne.
Only later did Shen Guanyin learn that Xiao Yijing had used her all along.
Thinking back on how she had stayed by his side through everything, working tirelessly for their plans...
Shen Guanyin finally saw the truth. When she awoke, she had been reborn at sixteen.
Now, she was still the most cherished daughter of the Shen family.

On the Lantern Festival night, the Shen family was invited to a banquet.
When it was time to compose a response to the imperial poem, Shen Xiangxue pretended to be too drunk to continue and rose to take her leave.
Unexpectedly, the emperor was delighted and chose Shen Guanyin's younger sister, born of the same parents, to be the crown princess.
Shen Guanyin knew what would become of the Shen family in the future, but the emperor's decree could not be disobeyed.
Unexpectedly, the crown prince petitioned the emperor to cancel the marriage.
Xiao Yijing went to the Shen residence to apologize, where he happened to run into Shen Guanyin.
She turned the tables and asked, "What is so wrong with my younger sister that the crown prince dislikes her so much?"
Xiao Yijing answered frankly, "I had someone read our fortunes yesterday. Your sister's birth chart is incompatible with mine, so the marriage can only be called off."
Shen Guanyin put on an angry expression. "Oh?"
Xiao Yijing hesitated. "Actually, I realized that Miss Shen's birth chart is even more compatible with mine."
"...What a coincidence."
Shen Guanyin spoke smoothly. "When I was young, my mother also had a fortune stick drawn for me. It said I was destined to be the mother of the realm, and would surely become the crown princess one day."
"However..."
"My fate is too strong and will bring misfortune to my husband, so I will never marry."

A few months later, at the spring banquet, everyone said that the eldest Shen daughter and the current top scholar made a perfect match. They both admired each other's talents.
When the news reached the Eastern Palace, Xiao Yijing immediately went to the Shen residence to confront Shen Guanyin, pressing her step by step as he asked in a hoarse voice, "Didn't you say... you would never marry?"
Shen Guanyin lowered her eyes with a faint smile, her expression utterly composed. "Your Highness, I lied to you. He and I grew up together, and we've loved each other for a long time."
"You've delayed choosing a consort for so long. Could it be that you've been saving yourself for me?"
