The Reborn Crown Princess Crushes Everyone (Matriarchal Society)

For the first fifteen years of his life, the male lead thought he was the happiest man in the world. His family was well-off, his mother and father doted on him, and his many sisters treated him like the apple of their eye, cherishing and protecting him in every way.

Then one day, his mother brought a man home and said he was his younger brother. The two looked seven parts alike, but their personalities were completely different: the younger brother was weak and pitiful, winning everyone's sympathy and affection with ease, and taking all the love his family had once lavished on him.

The coral jade he had long awaited was given to his younger brother instead;

The good-luck charm he had worn since childhood was taken away and presented to him;

Even his favorite little pet was given to him after everyone urged him to do so;

Treated differently from his younger brother, the male lead felt deeply aggrieved.

At that moment, the guard who had always opposed him stepped forward to protect him, and he soon fell for her.

When his family decided to marry him off to the disabled crown princess, who was about to be deposed, he wanted nothing more than to abandon everything and elope with her. But she rejected him, and worse still, the guard disappeared without a trace.

On his wedding day, his hands and feet were bound, and he was dressed in a bright red wedding robe before being married into the Eastern Palace.

On their wedding night, the red candles flickered. When his veil was lifted, a familiar face appeared through his tear-blurred eyes.

The female lead smiled faintly. "Long time no see."

A man who had transmigrated into a book found himself in a matriarchal world. He resolved to join forces with the book's female lead and rise to the pinnacle of life. He quickly settled on a target: replace the male lead and become the most cherished person in the X family.

Who could have known that all of this would be ruined by the former crown princess, who had died young in the book?

In a dark water prison, he was chained to a wooden frame, covered in blood and coughing it up. "When did you see through me?"

The woman in a gold-threaded phoenix robe idly toyed with a vivid flower sprig in her hand, her voice gentle. "From the first time I saw you."

Before the female lead was reborn, the male lead was her husband as crown princess. She had always thought him dull and lifeless. Though they were wife and husband, they had little affection for each other, and she was ultimately murdered, dying young with her head and body separated.

After she was reborn, she met the male lead in a high pavilion above an embroidery tower. He was dressed brightly, full of passion and abandon. "Are you the one my father sent to keep watch over me?"

"..." The female lead paused for a long while, then smiled slowly. "No. I'm here to take you away."

Ps: I haven't settled on a title yet. This one is temporary and might change, and the blurb might also be revised slightly.

A few notes:

1. The female lead is reborn. Before being reborn, she was a gentle and refined crown princess, killed by the transmigrated man and the female lead of the book. After being reborn, she is sweet on the outside and dark within, appearing gentle but using ruthless methods.

2. The man transmigrates into a book and has a System.

3. Happy ending.
