I Froze to Death in an Icy Lake, Then Was Reborn to Shine Alone and Scheme for the Eastern Palace

After seven years as the Crown Prince's wife, Jiang Manxue devoted herself to her husband and children, managed the household, bore heirs, and worked hard to be a flawless, virtuous wife and mother. That all changed when the Crown Prince brought home a beauty who seemed ready to faint at the slightest breeze, all delicate and timid like a frail little white flower. From then on, the Crown Prince gave her his whole heart. Even the son Jiang Manxue had painstakingly raised wanted only to be close to that woman, leaving Jiang Manxue as an unwanted outsider. Jiang Manxue thought that if she gave her sincere love, even the coldest heart could be warmed. Then she was thrown into a beggars' den and shoved into a lake in the dead of winter. At that moment, she finally came to her senses. When she opened her eyes again, she had returned to six years earlier... Back then, the Crown Prince had not yet brought that woman home. This time, she reclaimed the heart he had trampled without a second thought and carefully plotted to end their marriage. Only after she had once again become a distant, luminous moon did she realize that she was not the only one who had chased after the Crown Prince. Someone had been quietly protecting her from afar, loving her with restraint and asking for nothing in return. Gradually, she found herself drawn to the man and decided to open her heart to love again. But just then, the man who had once been cool, noble, self-disciplined, and impeccably proper went mad. His eyes reddened as he held back his feelings, and he touched Jiang Manxue's fingertips with utmost care. "Manman, I love only you. Please, don't abandon me."
