I Swapped Brides to Steal the Tyrant’s Empress’s Throne, and Now the Marquis’s Manor Begs for Forgiveness

【Cool, aloof beauty vs. reborn tyrant / mutual salvation / the whole family’s fiery reckoning / clear-eyed heroine / hero wins himself over】 The ruthless, unhinged tyrant Duan Qi was reborn. In his previous life, after the empress Shen Jianyu, who had shared a harmonious life with him, saw him die, she eloped with the Grand Chancellor! She even said on her deathbed, “In my next life, I don’t want to enter the palace again.” Duan Qi’s eyes burned red with fury. Reborn, all he wanted was to ask that wretched woman what gave her the nerve to cuckold him! He resisted her and despised her, yet couldn’t help drawing near, making excuses for her. Only in the end did he realize how little he had understood her in his previous life. - After her family abandoned her while fleeing, Shen Jianyu, the true-born daughter of the Marquis’s household, finally understood: from now on, she would seek no family affection, only reclaim everything that belonged to her! Her adopted sister wanted her parents, brothers, and fiancé, and wanted her sent into the tyrant’s harem to die? Shen Jianyu felt neither sorrow nor joy. She had no use for those laughable relatives. She would use the new emperor’s power to rise to the top and claim a life of wealth and honor. But why did the emperor, famed for his mercurial moods, keep sneaking glances at her? - At first, Duan Qi approached her with ill intent, all for the sake of the exceptional children they would have together. In the end, the emperor who prided himself on being heartless fell deeply in love with her, begging her to grant him even a little affection. No matter how many times Shen Jianyu distanced herself from him, he kept coming back to her: “Yu’er, please love me.”
