A Shy Springtime Boudoir

[Both reborn and swapping marriages + feelings go both ways + absolutely no forgiveness] Xie Lingyi’s life had never been her own. When she was young, her mother’s family was convicted of a crime. Her clan cast her aside, leaving her at an estate to fend for herself. After going to great lengths to return to the marquis’s residence, she was plotted against by her own family and sent into the imperial palace, where she became a vessel for cultivating poison. She suffered day and night. Fortunately, the openhearted and noble crown prince was willing to stay by her side. To hold on to that last sliver of warmth, Xie Lingyi was willing to do anything. She didn’t care even if she was condemned by everyone. But the first imperial edict the crown prince issued after ascending the throne ordered her to be torn apart by chariots in public. When she opened her eyes again, she was back on the night before entering the palace. Reborn, she would live only for herself. If fate treated her cruelly, she would tear fate apart. If Buddha stood in her way, she would destroy Buddha. But her sworn enemy from her past life, now her husband, shamelessly clung to her. “Don’t want to be empress? What, do you want to be emperor instead?” Xie Lingyi shook her head. “Those vows of eternal love mean nothing. I’m just using you.” Xiao Yan kissed her over her heart, his voice hoarse. “This prince and the whole realm come as a buy-one-get-one deal. You don’t get to change your mind.”
