#Reborn #ForcedPossession #Second Male Lead Takes the Lead
Everyone said that Heir Apparent Xie Yue was kindhearted as a gentle breeze beneath a bright moon. But only Ye Yuan knew that beneath his mild-mannered exterior lay a vicious man who would stop at nothing to get what he wanted.
When the enemy forces held him at knifepoint, she stood on one side of the city wall, and the woman he adored on the other.
Xie Yue aimed his arrow at her, his smile cold. "You're just a substitute. I've been tired of you for ages."
She had been nothing but a joke from beginning to end.
Before the arrow could fly, Ye Yuan leaped down, despair and resentment in her eyes.
When she opened her eyes again, she was back three years earlier, just after Xie Yue had brought her to the heir's residence.
She plotted at every turn, pretending to go along with him.
At last, after she finally won her freedom, she met someone warm and sincere.

Later, after Xie Yue was defeated in battle and shackled, Ye Yuan entered the prison. His eyes brimmed with hope, and his voice was hoarse. "A Yuan, you couldn't bring yourself to leave me after all. I regret everything. Let's forget the past and start over..."
But someone else walked in slowly. His dark robe and gold-trimmed cloak made him look tall and imposing, yet the rebelliousness in his eyes softened only when he looked at Ye Yuan.
"Heir Apparent Xie, you're too late. A Yuan is the person I'll protect for the rest of my life."
They left side by side. He leaned close to her ear, speaking in an even voice.
"It's windy tonight. Come back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation and sleep. I'll warm your bed."
Content warnings:
1. The female lead is neither a delicate beauty nor a powerhouse heroine. After being reborn, she starts out weak, so she can only play along with the male lead. But in the end, she'll train him like a dog.
2. The male lead is not a good person. He's hypocritical, selfish, ruthless, and has killed countless people. He's also a relentless, obsessive admirer of the female lead, though he doesn't realize it himself.
3. The second male lead is very, very, very good, and he's a virgin too.
Coming soon: "Luring the Aloof Beauty with Cunning"
In her previous life, everyone praised Yu Huan for marrying the perfect husband.
But on the night her family was destroyed, her husband, as beautiful as an immortal, threw a divorce letter at her.
He left her alone to meet a wretched end.
Yu Huan was reborn and became the Second Madam of the Shen family once more, but this time she set her sights on her husband's elder brother.
Shen Qing, a bloodthirsty general who was untouchable and next in line to inherit a noble title.
She promptly divorced her husband.
But the husband who had once been eager to marry his childhood sweetheart instead grew desperate and showered her with affection, hoping to win her back.
Shen Qing coldly advised him, "She's never wanted you. Why keep pestering her?"
She thought Shen Qing had fallen for her, but she had no idea that his keen eye had already seen through her scheming nature.
She left without hesitation and returned to her hometown, where she chose a poor county magistrate to rely on. The day news of her marriage reached Jiangdu, the snow fell harder than it had in years.
That night, Shen Qing rode a hundred miles at a gallop, then climbed over the wall through the snowstorm.
She looked at him calmly. "Why keep pestering me, General? I'm about to marry someone else."
"So what?" He stared at her. His hands, reddened by the cold, gripped her waist and pinned her to the bed, leaving her unable to move.
As her senses spun...
He leaned over and lowered his voice. "Call me husband."
