Completed.
The wind stirs, and a beauty arrives.
[A foxlike heroine bent solely on revenge + an extraordinarily ambitious hero who wins himself over + both reborn + amnesia trope + villains’ identities turned upside down + twist after twist]
Shen Heshu, the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister’s household, vs. Wei Yuanyu, the jealous, theatrical Regent
*
As the daughter of the Prime Minister, she was outstanding in both appearance and character, well-read and reasonable.
In her previous life, a maid who took her place as a bride, a husband who seemed to love and dote on her, and the Emperor’s schemes led to the execution of her entire family.
The heavens took pity on her. She died consumed by boundless hatred, then was reborn three years earlier.
In this life, she would rewrite the tragic fate of her previous life with her own hands.
She schemed to marry Wei Yuanyu, the Regent, whose power had been built atop the corpses of tens of thousands and who was the envy of all.
After the wedding, she discovered that this iron-willed Regent also had a tender side.
With others, he spoke coldly, as though afraid he wasn’t ruthless enough.
With her, he was gentle and attentive, knew how to take care of her, and treasured every word she said.
She couldn’t help falling for him. On the night of the Qixi Festival, she took the initiative and kissed Wei Yuanyu’s thin lips.
“A Yu, from now on, I’ll make you happy every single day.”
*
In his previous life, the woman he loved married a scholar, leaving him heartbroken. He asked to be sent to the northern desert frontier.
After winning a battle, he returned to the capital to receive his orders, only to see the woman he loved die before his eyes. He drew his blade and took his own life.
When he opened his eyes again, his thoughts were still hazy.
Yet the woman he loved clung to him, demanding a marriage certificate.
The woman he loved in both lives had taken the initiative to ask him to marry her. He was briefly stunned, then answered coldly.
After the wedding, he became a different person in front of Shen Heshu.
If Shen Heshu wanted the stars, he would never pluck the moon instead. He doted on the woman he loved as if she were the most precious thing in the world.
When their passion was at its height, he was no longer as gentle as before. He tightened his arms around Shen Heshu.
He made the blushing Shen Heshu look at him.
His eyes reddened at the corners. Raising an eyebrow, he asked hoarsely, “My dear Ayuan, do you like your husband this way?”
Reading guide:
In the present life, it’s a one-on-one romance, and both leads are virgins. However, in her previous life, the heroine and the second male lead were genuinely married. There may be occasional detailed scenes in the flashbacks, so readers with very strict purity preferences should steer clear.
The male lead is five years older than the female lead.
Theme: Saving yourself comes first.
The author writes very well, come on 💪
