[A scheming, ruthless prince who plays the pig to eat the tiger] [A gentle, resilient daughter of a marquis]
[Reborn] [Household intrigue] [Sweet romance] [One-on-one]
In her previous life, for the sake of her father's wish for peace at home, Ning Jin obediently spent her whole life as the legitimate daughter of the marquis's household. After her mother died, she gave up power without complaint, married as she was told, and worked herself to the bone managing the imperial harem.
In the end, the husband she had devoted herself to and the half-sister she had loved and protected since childhood betrayed her together. Her father's concubine paid lip service while defying her, and her little brother died a miserable death on the border.
At last, she died with poisoned wine burning through her throat.
Reborn, Ning Jin finally came to her senses.
Why treat trash like treasure? She'd rather voluntarily switch betrothals and marry the prince rumored to be cruel and tyrannical than take that scumbag of a crown prince!
She'll torment her wicked sister, fight the concubine, and raise her little brother herself. Giving in and swallowing her pride is out of the question. She'll never surrender any of the power or connections she has again!

Xie Jingce is always dreaming about Ning Jin, the marquis's daughter who was the most beautiful woman in the capital.
In the dream, when he leads his troops into the new emperor's cold palace and kills his former fiancee with his own hands, the peerlessly beautiful woman has already perished in a sea of flames.
When he wakes, Ning Jin, who was supposed to marry the crown prince, comes to him of her own accord. She looks at him timidly and asks, "W-would you take me as your princess consort?"
Xie Jingce is dumbstruck.
He had been a heartless man who fell into an abyss, but her warmth teaches him how to love.
Nice. But there was a foreshadowing that his brother was later rescued by the sixth prince, but it did not appear until the end.
