An obstinate, scheming beauty x a reborn court official seeking revenge
In his previous life, Meng Qi was a notorious traitorous official and a rebel intent on seizing power.
The day he was executed was the day the current emperor got married.
He had been invited to attend, unaware that it was a trap laid for him.
There were no guests in the grand hall, only soldiers surrounding him on all sides.
He saw the new empress beside the emperor, dressed in a red phoenix robe. Suddenly, he remembered how young and inexperienced she had looked a few years earlier, when she was about to marry into the Meng family as his younger brother's wife.
Meng Qi was pinned firmly to the ground. He watched Song Zhaoyue, dressed in a red wedding gown, walk toward him step by step. She held a short blade, and her voice was hoarse as she spoke. "Eldest brother, I once tried to talk you out of it. Why did you insist on going your own way?"
Meng Qi looked up at her, his heart filled with an indescribable bitterness. "Are you going to kill me?"
Song Zhaoyue stared into his eyes and said nothing.
Pinned down by more than a dozen people, he suddenly struggled like a madman, his eyes bloodshot. "Fine! Then let my life be a wedding gift to you both!"
Song Zhaoyue drew the blade from its sheath and drove its point straight into his chest.
At last he died, but he never saw the tear fall from the hand that wielded the blade.
Perhaps Heaven took pity on him and granted him another life.
The events of his previous life replayed before his eyes. He moved through them with ease, and the net he had laid slowly tightened. He swore to hunt them all down, including Song Zhaoyue.
Yet on a rainy day, the woman who had not yet married into the imperial family sat beside him, drinking.
She had a low tolerance for alcohol and got drunk after only a few cups. Then she leaned unsteadily against his shoulder, her cheeks flushed.
Meng Qi looked at her from the side, wondering how he would take her life in this lifetime.
But the woman, who had seemed half-asleep, suddenly leaned toward him and wrapped her arms around his neck, speaking coyly. "Meng Qi, you're such a blockhead. How can you not see that I like you?"
After saying that, she fell asleep again.
Meng Qi felt his heart, pierced in his previous life, start racing again. He could hardly believe it. Had she just said... she liked him?
Should he still take revenge on her in this life?

Because I was so curious about why the heroine killed the hero in her previous life, I jumped into watching it. Even though I couldn't understand the plot, I still cried like a dog!! Woo woo 😭 Come on, author, you have great potential!!
The copywriting looks good, so cheers 🌈🌈🌈
It's been a long time since I had the patience to read a novel. It's really good. This novel has the feeling of peace and tranquility after going through hardships! There are no golden fingers, no princes or generals, and no sensationalism. I really like it!
This article brings me back to the feeling of reading ancient Chinese novels seven or eight years ago. Does it feel like an ancient novel? But it was precisely for this reason that I was willing to read on. It was indeed a bit complicated in the middle, so I didn't read on. I was still very moved when I saw the ending. As for this, I really feel it.
The writing is really good. I like the character of the heroine very much. The career line of the heroine is also well written. Finally, she can rely on herself instead of the hero to help her. A good ending deserves a good character.
It's great. It'll be finished this month so I can start watching it.
