Reborn, the Crown Princess Refuses to Be a Sacrificial Pawn

Shen Yuan and Song Peiyan had been married for five years and had a son together. Their marriage looked happy and perfect, but everyone except Shen Yuan seemed to know that Song Peiyan didn't love her.

Song Peiyan was the ninth son of the reigning emperor and empress, and their only legitimate son. He was made Crown Prince at birth, his prospects boundless, the most favored of heaven's chosen. Cold and dignified, he cared only for affairs of state and treated his sole Crown Princess with even more indifference than a stranger.

Even so, Shen Yuan loved him wholeheartedly for five years. Then, in the bitter winter of their fifth year, the Crown Prince brought a secondary consort into the palace. Shen Yuan, his Crown Princess, was confined to a side hall, where she accidentally knocked over a candle stand and died in the flames.

When she woke again, she had returned to a year earlier and learned a shocking secret. She was the doomed original wife of the male lead in a book! Song Peiyan had long had another woman in his heart, his “white moonlight”! She and her child were nothing but stepping stones for Song Peiyan and his beloved!

Now clear-eyed, Shen Yuan abandoned her former gentle, virtuous, self-sacrificing ways and began making plans for herself and her child.

First: Get rid of his beloved!

Second: Outlive Song Peiyan!

Third: Put her own child on the throne!
