The Rebel Minister Husband's Funeral Pyre

[Over-the-top drama, both leads reborn, and a groveling chase to win back his wife]

Princess Yuanle is breathtakingly beautiful, with a graceful figure and the poise of a jade statue.

She marries into a military stronghold, and for seven years she and Wei Chuxian, military governor of the Three Circuits, live together in perfect harmony.

In the eyes of outsiders, Wei Chuxian honors and cherishes her.

When Yuanle falls gravely ill, he races a thousand miles back to Heshuo. At a casual remark from her, he conquers twenty-three cities and presents them as a gift.

Wei Chuxian is even willing to give up his independent rule and submit to the imperial court for her sake.

The world praises their loving marriage. Only Yuanle knows that she has spent half her life walking on thin ice.

-

On their wedding night, Yuanle learns that Wei Chuxian loves someone else and married her only to use her as a shield.

When he says he will take away their eldest son, she is furious. When he says he will give their second son to another family, she is powerless.

When Wei Chuxian says he wants to marry his one true love as a secondary wife, all Yuanle has left is sorrow. She lowers her eyes and says yes.

But the last time, when Wei Chuxian's achievements eclipse the emperor's and he means to seize the throne, Yuanle falls silent.

On the night rebel forces are about to breach the capital, Yuanle stands atop the city wall, spreads her arms, and leaps down.

The princess's red robes blaze like fire. She is every bit as proud and carefree as she was in her youth.

As she dies, Yuanle thinks that if she gets another life, she won't live this way again.

But when she opens her eyes, she has truly returned to the past.

-

Wei Chuxian, military governor of the Three Circuits, is handsome and noble, cold-hearted and ruthless.

By imperial decree, he takes the esteemed Princess Yuanle as his wife.

They live together in harmony for half their lives, but when he breaches the city gates, he learns that Yuanle has turned against him, betraying him as her husband.

She even dares to elope with her old lover right under his nose.

Wei Chuxian hates Yuanle with all his heart.

He hates her for being wanton and unfaithful, for giving herself to anyone and everyone.

Yet at a palace banquet after he is reborn, when he sees Yuanle exchanging smiles with her old lover,

the proud and dignified Wei Chuxian kneels before the emperor of his own accord and asks to marry Princess Yuanle.

Reading guide:

1. Obsessive, ruthless military governor x clear-eyed, steadfast princess. One-on-one romance, both leads sexually inexperienced.

2. Updated daily, updated daily ("/ω\")

3. The male lead is genuinely unhinged, and genuinely devoted. He has impeccable fidelity but no morals. Both leads are sexually and emotionally faithful. A heroic warlord and a noblewoman, both reborn, with a groveling chase to win back his wife. Difference in stature and status. A rebel who is loyal, a ruler who submits. Set against a backdrop of warlord separatism.
