The Empress Was Reborn, Then the King Was Possessed

[01]

On the night before he was to marry the Crown Prince of Qin, Wei Qieyao, a prince of Wei, had a dream.

He dreamed that after he married his husband, the man would dote on male entertainers and mistreat his first wife. Three years after his wedding, he, a legitimate prince of Wei, would still be a virgin.

Three years later, his husband, now King of Qin, would die while attempting to lift a cauldron in the royal capital. He, the first wife who had been neglected for three years, would be given a white silk cord and made to join his husband in death.

Wei Qieyao: "...Is this what they mean by getting none of the blessings and all of the suffering?"

On their wedding night, Wei Qieyao tossed aside his fan and burned his wedding robes.

But then his good-for-nothing husband, who should have been enjoying a moonlit tryst with a male entertainer, appeared in the bridal chamber, accompanied by the voice of someone talking to who knew whom.

Qin Ge: "System bro, is this the wife of mine who's supposed to sleep with my younger uncle in the history books?"

Wei Qieyao: "..."

Qin Ge: "I have to say, he's pretty handsome."

Wei Qieyao: "..."

Qin Ge: "From now on, he's my wife. I have a wife, hehehe."

Wei Qieyao: "..."

System: "..."

The System's voice was strained. "Host, just a friendly reminder: not long ago, you told your precious wife that one day you'd depose him."

Qin Ge: "??? No, that wasn't me!"

But when Qin Ge pushed the door open, the first thing he saw was the wedding robe, burned to ashes.

Qin Ge and Wei Qieyao stared at each other.

Qin Ge: "...Okay, okay, now I'm really going to have to win my wife back the hard way."

The System told Qin Ge that only by surviving his attempt to lift a cauldron in the royal capital three years later could he change the original owner's fate.

That meant surviving, and getting to sleep with his wife.

Qin Ge cursed under his breath. "Do I even have what it takes? All I want is to sleep with my wife. What's wrong with that?"

In a fit of excitement, Qin Ge smashed the table, startling Wei Qieyao beside him.

Qin Ge immediately changed his tune. "Wifey, boo-hoo, I didn't mean to."

System: "...Ugh, you shameless thing."

Qin Ge said brazenly, "Why would I need shame when I want to sleep with my wife?"

As Wei Qieyao looked at Qin Ge, the ice in his eyes gradually melted.

A silly, cheerful, strongman top (Qin Ge) × a bottom (Wei Qieyao) who's a black-hearted schemer beneath his gentle beauty

* The top and bottom's names come from the Book of Odes, "Garden of Peaches": "My heart is filled with sorrow, so I sing and chant."

* Historical danmei ABO, with "Tianqian" and "Dikun"

* The bottom is reborn, and the top transmigrates into a book

* The bottom can hear the top talking with the System

* The original idea didn't pass review (sob)

Theme: Stay true to yourself.
