Princess Fu Ruo (Reborn)

[On hiatus for a while, probably 1-2 weeks, possibly longer.]

In her previous life, Ning Furuo believed she had died because of her own fierce ambition, right up until she was sent to the execution ground and beheaded.

But the truth was that her world was nothing more than a book.

Her husband of ten years, her siblings, even her trusted aides and court officials who had helped her time and time again... Every one of them became an invisible noose strangling Ning Furuo.

In this male-lead-centered story, her failures, mistakes, patience, and years spent lying low counted for nothing.

After her death, Ning Furuo's half-naked, headless corpse was left in the marketplace, where people reviled and humiliated her.

Trapped as a ghost, unable to leave, she watched everything with cold detachment.

It had come to this. She understood that everyone around her had long since become a traitor. So who would come to give her a proper burial?

In the sweltering summer heat, her rotting corpse soon began to stink. Maggots covered it, making anyone who saw it sick to their stomach.

After a torrential downpour, the sound of a horse galloping closer cut through the rain, splashing up a trail of fine mist.

The rider was travel-worn, his plain clothes soaked through with rain.

Before the horse had even stopped, he leaped down.

The unsteady man fell twice before getting back to his feet. Then he walked step by step toward the mass of decaying flesh that could no longer be called a corpse.

As he knelt, Ning Furuo got a clear look at his face.

She had never imagined that the person who would travel thousands of miles back to the capital to bury her would be Qi Rujun.

The very...

eunuch she had long ago branded a traitor and targeted at every turn.

Read before you start:

1. This blurb was posted on December 15, 2023. Screenshot saved.

2. Not a female-centric story, not a strong female lead, and not a transmigrate-into-a-book story. The heroine becomes physically weak from chapter 37 onward.

3. The male lead is extremely submissive early on, while the heroine literally "forces herself on him."

4. The male lead is not technically a eunuch.

5. There are lots of great books out there. If this isn't for you, drop it in time. Please don't take it out on the author.

Theme: Good deeds are rewarded.
