* Reborn / Marriage Before Love / Taking by Force
Cheng Yue was one of the emperor's consorts, never rising above the rank of Noble Lady, and had no children.
The reigning emperor, Wei Yun, felt nothing for her, and she felt the same about him. In two words: she did not love him.
All she wanted was to coast through life in the palace, with no interest in competing for his favor.
That was until one night, when she was summoned to the throne room and discovered an assassin had broken in.
Desperate to save her own life, she hurried to make her escape. But an arrow meant for Wei Yun killed her on the spot.
On the surface, it looked as though she had taken the arrow for Wei Yun out of love.
In truth, Cheng Yue regretted it bitterly.
She knew getting close to that dog of an emperor would only bring trouble.
When she opened her eyes again, she found she had been reborn.
Given a second life, Cheng Yue decided she would stay as far away from Wei Yun as possible.
But the harder she tried to avoid his favor, the more suspicious he became.
One day, he caught her trying to sneak out of the palace at night.
Cheng Yue knelt to pay her respects, intending to keep pretending she was ill.
She tried every trick she could think of to avoid him, but instead Wei Yun was delighted:
"In that case, from now on, you will be the one to attend me every night."
Cheng Yue: "...What?"
What a catastrophic turn of events.
From then on, Wei Yun stayed in her palace every night.
Before he fell asleep, Cheng Yue acted sweet and called him "My Lord Wei."
After he fell asleep, she gritted her teeth and called him a dog of an emperor.
With the day she had died in her previous life drawing near, Cheng Yue felt her life hanging by a thread and ran off without a second thought.
They met again in the place where Cheng Yue had been hiding.
The emperor sat high above her, his expression stern and his gaze cold. He had been waiting for her for a long time.
Wei Yun smiled, but there was not a trace of amusement in his eyes, only the gloom of seething fury.
"Yue'er, you made me search high and low for you."
