[Rebirth + satisfying revenge + exclusive devotion + both leads are inexperienced + the husband chases his wife after hurting her]
In her previous life, Wen Yuetang was carried in a small sedan chair to her brother-in-law's bed. Her elder half-sister had been married into the prince's household for years without conceiving, so Wen Yuetang was made to bear a child in her place.
After enduring endless torment, she finally became pregnant. She thought she could at last be free, but during childbirth her half-sister cut the baby out of her womb, and she died in agony.
Her half-sister, meanwhile, rose to power over her corpse and became empress.
Reborn, Wen Yuetang's bewitching charms ensnare the Prince of Li, a man who had been austere and passionless in her previous life, until he becomes infatuated with her and dotes on her alone.
On the day he takes the throne, she has all her former enemies slaughtered, turning the capital into a river of blood in a single day.
Outsiders say she is lowborn and ruthless, and that the Prince of Li sees her only as a stand-in for his white moonlight. They say that when the real woman returns, someone as wicked as Wen Yuetang is sure to meet a terrible end.
Later, Xie Yan's white moonlight returns.
Everyone waits for Wen Yuetang, the fake, to be cast aside by the Prince of Li. But Wen Yuetang fakes her own death and escapes first, leaving the capital for good.
Three years later, she lives in a small border town. Wealthy and beautiful, she has so many suitors coming to ask for her hand that they nearly wear down her doorstep.
Then one day, the imperial guards suddenly surround her home.
The imposing, stern emperor corners her himself, his eyes bloodshot and his voice hoarse. “Wen Yuetang, who gave you permission to run away?”
She thought being dragged back would mean certain death.
But after she returns to the palace, Xie Yan pins her against the imperial bed.
Xie Yan says, “There is no white moonlight. You have always been the only one for me.”
