A Dream of Quiet Splendor

In her previous life, Zhou Yu left the entire harem empty for Gu Lianyou, making Gu Lianyou believe that Zhou Yu loved her deeply.

But when the enemy laid siege to the city, she saw with her own eyes the imperial decree Zhou Yu had issued, ordering that she be handed over to an enemy general.

Gu Lianyou never learned before her death that a treacherous minister had forged the decree.

When she opened her eyes again, Gu Lianyou's heart was cold. Since Zhou Yu had betrayed her and shown her no mercy, she would make him her enemy in this life.

In her previous life, Crown Prince Zhou Yu fell in love with Gu Lianyou at first sight after catching a glimpse of her. He insisted on asking the emperor for permission to marry her.

But after Gu Lianyou married into the royal family and became crown princess, she remained cold and taciturn toward Zhou Yu.

Only shortly before his death did Zhou Yu hear that Gu Lianyou had been in love with Yun Bo, the brilliant and noble top scorer from years ago, and had never stopped loving him.

This truth trampled the dignity of an emperor into the mud.

Reborn in this life, Zhou Yu turned love into hate and resolved never to have anything to do with Gu Lianyou again. Even if she died right in front of him, it would be none of his concern.

Yet Gu Lianyou kept appearing in front of him, utterly oblivious.

As time went on, Zhou Yu's resentment grew. Simply ignoring her was no longer enough to vent his hatred. He would marry her and make her suffer until she begged for death.

On their wedding night, Zhou Yu pinned her down viciously.

Meeting Gu Lianyou's startled gaze, the crown prince, once wounded by love, teared up and choked out, “Why did you give Yun Bo the sachet?”

/ Love-struck crown prince x career-minded crown princess

/ The moon shines bright, and the crown prince and I are headed for a spectacular breakup

Both reborn, happy ending
