(Traditional Historical Romance + Female Lead Redemption + Faked Death + Late-Stage Possessive Obsession)

Song Li was the legitimate daughter of the Loyal Marquis’s household. After her father and brother backed the wrong side in court, they were imprisoned and executed. She fell from a noble highborn lady to a lowly concubine used for revenge, and eventually died young from depression and despair.

When she opened her eyes again, she had returned to when she was thirteen. And kneeling in the courtyard at that moment was the lowly young boy who, in the future, would become a powerful minister—second only to the emperor.

So, she completely changed her former spoiled ways, flattering him in every possible manner, appearing pitiful and obedient. All she wanted was for Pei Jingheng, once he rose to power, to show mercy to the Song family.

To win a chance of survival for her father and brother, she died taking a sword for Pei Jingheng in front of everyone. She left cleanly, but drove the young minister mad with grief—his hair turned white overnight, and every night he suffered heart-wrenching pain and coughed up blood.

In countless midnight nightmares, Pei Jingheng woke up in cold sweat, tormented by regret. Why hadn’t he protected Song Li back then?

He only wanted to finish handling state affairs quickly so he could join her in death.

Until one day, during a secret investigation in Wangzhou, he unexpectedly saw the person he thought of day and night.

His so-called "good little sister" had faked her death—just to escape him.

Song Li, having changed her name and identity, thought she had escaped everything. But the next day, when she returned home, she was cornered in an alley by a white-haired man.

Their bodies pressed tightly together, the cold scent of pear blossoms surrounded them, unbearably intimate.

The girl’s breathing quickened slightly. When she saw clearly who it was, her voice carried a hint of anger:

“Are you insane?”

The veins in the man's hand tensed. His scorching breath fell beside her ear as he kissed her without hesitation:

“I went insane the day you left me.”

Due to a car accident, 18-year-old Zhuang Keyan transmigrated into a book. In order to go home, she bound herself to the system and became the villain Gu Peisi. Now she is still a teenager with a high fever waiting to die in a trash can.

Zhuang Keyan had no choice but to work hard to raise Gu Peisi into a model student with good character and good family background. After Gu Peisi finished the college entrance examination and was found by his relatives and became a rich second-generation, Zhuang Keyan died with satisfaction.

But less than a month after returning home, he was forcibly sent back by the system.

Only then did she realize that the cub she raised had become a ruthless profiteer who wanted to kidnap the heroine in the book. The heroine's injury caused the world to collapse, and Zhuang Keyan was kicked back by the system to clean up the mess.

Zhuang Keyan never expected that after not seeing her for five years, the well-behaved, obedient and sensible child she had raised since childhood had become a scheming, vindictive, sinister and terrifying social dangerous element.

Zhuang Keyan decisively hugged the injured cub, and saw that the cub, who was gloomy and scary just now, suddenly turned into its warm and well-behaved appearance. Zhuang Keyan was full of pity, but did not notice the madness and paranoia in the other's eyes.

Gu Peisi originally wanted to wait for death in the garbage dump, but was picked up by a beam of light. In order to please Zhuang Keyan, he was willing to pretend to be a well-behaved and sensible fool, but Zhuang Keyan still didn't want him. In this case, he planned to use the world as a means to make Zhuang Keyan stay with him willingly.

Sister, I could have endured the darkness, but you made me see the light.

But as time went on, the plot of the novel began to shift in strange ways. The villain turned into a ray of sunshine, the female lead got involved in political intrigue at court, and the male lead's ambition changed from seizing the throne to exploring overseas…

Li Mu: "...I swear, I didn’t do anything."

2. Everyone knew the fifth daughter of Minister Li was a fool. People said the Li family was kind-hearted for neither locking the little fool away in the courtyard nor sending her to a remote estate to fend for herself. Later, a royal decree suddenly declared the Li family's fifth daughter to be the future Princess Consort of the Regent Prince. From then on, no one dared publicly gossip about her. They only laughed in private: “A madman paired with a fool—what a perfect match.”

Later still, the Regent Prince stopped acting so outrageously and terrifyingly. Only then did the public realize something had changed. They began praying the Princess Consort would live a long life—at least longer than the Regent Prince’s.

Li Mu: "Why do I feel like people see me as the leash keeping a rabid dog tied down?"

Regent Prince: "Then my dear consort had better hold me tight. Don’t let me loose to go bite people."
