The County Princess Regrets It

Princess Zhuyue, the Commandery Princess of Yunyang, was once the emperor's most doted-upon granddaughter. Before she was even born, she was betrothed to Shen Zhuo, heir to the Duke of Fuguo.

But in the year she came of age, he broke off the engagement.

The honorable heir to the duke eloped with a maid.

All of the capital mocked her for being less desirable than a servant.

To prove them wrong, she married Shen Zhan, Shen Zhuo's older brother.

Shen Zhan was a military officer, with a scar on his face, rough hands and feet, and a hard, muscular body. Yunyang never gave him a proper look.

She was always gazing at Shen Zhuo as if bewitched, and hated the maid with all her heart. Her reputation was ruined, and everyone despised her.

In the end, though, the maid trampled over her tears and blood to become the Duchess of Fuguo. Yunyang finally woke from her delusion and realized she'd been nothing but a stepping stone, a foolish, wicked supporting character in a story who helped bring the hero and heroine together.

As the noose tightened around her neck, she suddenly remembered a day three years earlier, when Shen Zhan had gone mad and forced her to consummate their marriage. His stubble had scratched her chest so painfully. She'd hated him and cursed him to die on the battlefield. Later, he really did die on the frontier.

Yunyang was consumed with regret. If she could have another life, all she wanted was to escape disaster and live to a ripe old age.

Just as she kicked over the crescent-shaped stool, she returned to three years earlier.
