The serial novel A Deep-Hued Late Winter is currently updating. Feel free to add it to your favorites.
Before Li Zhaowen died, she hated many people.
Prince Huai, who raised an army in rebellion. Gu Jingyuan, who surrendered with his troops. Lin Xun, who opened the city gates.
They were all people she hated.
She thought that even if she became a vengeful ghost, she would never let them go.
Blood stained her brocade robes and streamed across them. By the time it had soaked the imperial throne, she was already dead.
Unexpectedly, fate let her wake again, returning her to the time before Prince Huai's rebellion.
She hadn't become a vengeful ghost, but she was no longer a princess, either.
Whatever her new identity, revenge came first.
The first person she had to deal with was naturally Gu Jingyuan. In her previous life, the emperor had chosen him as her prince consort, and his fellow court officials had praised him as the commander of the Five Armies Camp. Yet he alone among the emperor's military commanders had surrendered his troops.
Li Zhaowen sighed. The emperor's taste in husbands was truly terrible! At least she had refused to marry him back then.
·
Gu Jingyuan was gentle and refined on the outside, but in truth he was a master manipulator. After being reborn, he was determined to put his scheming skills to the fullest use.
As the saying goes, enemies are bound to meet. Her path of revenge should have been smooth, but it was obstructed by Li Zhaowen.
She secretly plotted against him, doing everything she could to have him killed. After one plan after another failed, she asked, “If you had no intention of rebelling, why did you surrender your troops back then?”
A trace of sorrow surfaced in Gu Jingyuan's eyes, then disappeared into his gentle smile. “And you, Your Highness? Why did you refuse to marry me back then?”
Heroine transmigrates, hero is reborn, both leads are virgins, slow-burn romance, a little angst, happy ending.
Theme: The world is a game of chess. Think carefully about the ending before making your first move.
