Ambitious, seemingly innocent schemer x spoiled, arrogant darling
[Love and hate, forced possession, defying the natural order, unhinged prose]
Princess Fu Ye had spent more than twenty years doing as she pleased. Just as she finally secured a betrothal to the man she loved, on her wedding night...
She was attacked.
Reborn, Fu Ye did a quick calculation: she had twelve hours before she was stabbed.
She ordered her people to stand guard at every entrance and exit, then casually picked up a pastry.
It was poisoned.
Reborn a second time, she demanded that her engagement be called off. Everyone thought she was having a nightmare. In the chaos, someone shoved her.
It hurt her head.
The third time, the fourth time...
It wasn't until her seventh life that Fu Ye figured out who was behind it all.
By her eighth life, Fu Ye had plenty of experience and a bag of dirty tricks. She finally killed him: Xuan Shuo, the powerful chief minister who even the emperor treated with respect.
And then she was reborn for the ninth time.
This time, she was reborn at sixteen, and immediately set her sights on her target: Xuan Shuo, who was still a slave.
"Father, this young slave looks good. Why not give him to me?"
The young princess picked up a piece of raw meat with her long chopsticks and tossed it in front of him.
Innocent yet cruel.
"I need another obedient dog. What do you say?"
The youth grabbed the raw meat with both hands without hesitation and devoured it. His madness and sickness were nowhere to be seen in his eyes.
"Woof."

Fu Ye naturally got Xuan Shuo.
In public, she remained the same arrogant, domineering princess.
In private, she tormented and humiliated him.
Xuan Shuo, once an untouchable figure, was now nothing but her dog.
When she grew tired of him and found him annoying, she sent him off to the frontier.
That day, the youth's eyes were as cold as stars, and his voice pressed her for an answer: "Does the Third Princess no longer need me to be her dog?"
She scoffed. "There are plenty of people who want to be my dog. Who do you think you are?"
Years later, Xuan Shuo, who had seemed destined to remain obscure, won battle after battle and became a celebrated god of war on the frontier.
The first thing he did when he returned to the capital was ask the emperor for the hand of the Fifth Princess.
And so, the princess was about to face her ninth wedding night.
Fu Ye chickened out, ran away, got caught, and gave up.
On her wedding night, Fu Ye pretended to submit, planning to turn on Xuan Shuo when he least expected it.
But the handsome young man beneath her suddenly opened his eyes, expressionless, as the dagger in her hand plunged into him.
He sneered and whispered in her ear like a demon: "I'll give you one more chance. If I catch you in your next life, Princess, you'll belong to me completely."
