Returning to Before My Bad Ending with the Brooding, Aloof Beauty

Dark and obsessive × carefree and oblivious

[Main story told from the heroine's perspective!!!]

My empress, Jiang Mu, is finally dead.

Since we were young, she clung to me relentlessly, breaking up me and my moonlight.

After I ascended the throne, I sent her to the Cold Palace with a single imperial edict. She raged and made a scene, brooded until she fell ill, and soon died.

That wicked woman was still causing trouble right before her death. She sent a bowl of poisoned wine to kill my favorite consort and my son, and left me bedridden as well. I struggled in agony for less than two years before dying alongside Jiang Mu.

I closed my eyes, then opened them, and I was back thirteen years in the past.

Back then, I was still the disgraced Crown Prince, languishing in the Cold Palace. Jiang Mu was the youngest daughter of the Duke's estate, recently found after spending over a decade in the wilderness. She spoke crudely.

She hadn't married me yet, hadn't exhausted herself for my sake, hadn't been heartbroken by my falling for someone else, and hadn't gone mad with jealousy and dragged me down with her.

Nothing had happened yet. Perfect!

The moment I was reborn, I decided to prevent the tragedy of my previous life from happening again. I would snuff out every tie between me and that wicked woman before it could take root!

So, with a rope tucked under my arm, I sneaked into the Duke's estate in the middle of the night, intending to strangle Jiang Mu in the woodshed right then and there, before she could cause trouble.

But when I pushed open the door, moonlight spilled across the floor. Jiang Mu, who should have been trapped inside just as she had been in my previous life, nowhere to be seen.

I was at a loss.

Jiang Mu, Jiang Mu, we were meant to be entangled with each other, loving and hating one another for all eternity, never to part until death.

So why have you turned away first once again?

Jiang Mu spent her whole life exhausting herself for others.

After she was found, she fought her biased parents at the Duke's estate, the impostor who had taken her place, the aristocratic families of the capital, and the husband who didn't love her...

After fighting for half her life, she ended up being dragged in front of her husband's favorite consort by that dog of an emperor, the father of her child, to take a knife for her. Her chronic illness never got better, and after holding on for a year, she died.

She closed her eyes, then opened them, and she was back thirteen years in the past, with her cheap parents coaxing her into an engagement to the disgraced Crown Prince.

In her previous life, she'd been blinded by his noble, handsome looks. Even though she knew he despised her vulgar manners, she shamelessly threw herself at him, going to extraordinary lengths to crush and defile that unattainable flower.

But even after giving him a child and helping him ascend the throne, that bastard still discarded her like a speck of mud.

In this life, Jiang Mu decided to lie flat. She swore to be nothing but a lazy fish and never get involved in the conflicts of her previous life again.

She escaped the woodshed, mounted a horse under cover of night, and rode north to Qingzhou, leaving all that ridiculous fate behind.

She left without a backward glance, but forgot that in her previous life, that night had been the day she and the dog emperor first fell in love.

So she never knew that he sat alone, waiting for her all night, then searched desperately for her for three years. When he finally saw her sharing tender moments with someone else, his eyes reddened and he lost control in agony.

1v1, happy ending. The male lead is chaste in both his past and present lives, loves only the heroine, and has only ever had a child with her. The blurb is told from individual perspectives, and the characters are in denial. It does not reflect the actual plot.

Coming soon: The Background Character in an Explicit Novel, Married to an Evil God 😋

There's always a background character in a novel: timid, cowardly, and honest.

Jiang Rong is bound to a System and transmigrates into a minor character in a small world. Her job is to push the plot along and help the protagonists get their perfect happy ending.

But she doesn't know she's been sent into an explicit novel.

She dutifully follows the plot and works hard.

Yet she doesn't realize that because of her arrival, the indescribable beings who had been sleeping in the world all open their eyes, their obsessive gazes fixing on her.

After the mission has been underway for a while, the System finally can't take it anymore. [Jiang Rong, that's enough.]

Stop turning the male lead, the supporting male characters, and the villain into evil gods, then making them your husbands!
