[Upcoming historical romance]
Arrogant, domineering princess x two-faced, devoted young scholar
Li Yuanji is a beloved princess, pampered by the late emperor, her father, and even more favored after her full brother ascended the throne.
With such a status, Li Yuanji grew arrogant, domineering, and accustomed to doing whatever she pleased.
Then, on the night of her coming-of-age ceremony, she got drunk and had a strange dream. In it, she bullied and humiliated Yang Li, the top scorer in the imperial examinations, forcing him into a relationship against his will.
In the future, Yang Li would become a powerful minister. After staging a rebellion and forcing his way into the palace, he would imprison Princess Li Yuanji in the harem, where she would eventually slit her wrists and die.
When she woke up, Li Yuanji thought the dream was absurd and paid it no mind.
That is, until the top scorer really was named Yang Li, and she began dreaming of details from her past life whenever she got drunk. Only then did she realize that something was terribly wrong.
So she decided that if she couldn't afford to provoke him, she could at least avoid him.
As long as she didn't antagonize Yang Li, none of the things in her dream would happen.
But when Li Yuanji met Yang Li, she couldn't help being bewitched into approaching him.
Just as she was ready to give up and follow her heart, why was this Yang Li so different from the man in her dream, who had hated and resented her?
Could the dream have shown everything in reverse?
In his past life, Yang Li mistakenly believed his enemy was Princess Li Yuanji of Shengzhao, so after becoming the top scorer in the imperial examinations, he deliberately got close to her.
Only after he had finally brought down the Li family's dynasty did he discover that his true enemy was someone else.
By the time he realized the truth, it was too late. The little princess, always spoiled and terrified of pain, had died by suicide in the palace.
Fortunately, Heaven gave him a chance to start over. He was reborn during the imperial examinations, and this time he would do everything he could to make amends for the mistakes of his past life.
