Description
Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.Li Rong married Pei Wenxuan at the age of 18.
Li Rong used Pei Wenxuan’s family background to avoid disaster, and Pei Wenxuan used Li Rong’s identity as Princess to establish himself.
They married for political reasons, without the slightest bit of affection.
Later on, she lost herself in the midst of wine, song and dance. As for him, he had a home yet did not bother coming home because he already had someone in his heart…
Husband and wife for 30 years, yet nothing between them but power.
In the end, it was hardly surprising that someone turned them against each other, leading them to die under each other’s schemes.
However, when they woke up, they had actually returned to the year when they were 18 years old, returning to the most difficult time in their lives.
So Pei Wenxuan went to look for Li Rong.
“Does Your Highness feel that we should go through this marriage again?”
“Let’s do it…”
“Then this humble one must get rid of your ‘Guest Official’ first.”
“Do you think I’ll let your sweetheart off?!”
After a long wordless silence, Pei Wenxuan spoke again: “How about we bear with one another for the time being? In two years, when we each have power in our hands, you and I will divorce. From then on, if there are grievances, settle those grievances, if there are grudges, settle those grudges. What does the Princess think?”
Li Rong hesitated for a moment, and then said: “Fine, go ahead with it first…”
Later, Pei Wenxuan and Li Rong secured the power to control the Imperial Court. Seeing Li Rong write up the divorce letter at home, Pei Wenxuan looked left and right, considering the situation from all angles, then finally walked into the study. “The children are already this old, how about we keep living like this for a while?”

That cute little brother whose lines start with ‘Sister, sister’? He’s quite perceptive and has always known more than what he lets on.
That flirtatious idle young master will sit an antagonist down for a thought-provoking conversation. Respect. I’m sorry I wrote you off as a some happy-go-lucky passerby T_T
That potential second female lead? Nope. She is willing to throw away her old life and identity for her family and justice without batting an eye. There was nothing to think about.
That cute rebellious side couple that you ship and hope they will be able to avoid their fate in their last life? Well, where there is smoke, there is fire. Their last life was much, much darker...
When he set Yang Quan up and killed him, he killed a man and sealed a family’s fate to secure his marriage and clear the way for the Crown Prince’s future. Li Rong was right about him willing to do anything to achieve his goals, but it wasn’t like he didn’t sit down afterwards and think about what he’s done and the human costs.
I personally think it was better that Su Rongqing wasn’t killed off. He ends up drafting solutions and inventions to aid the flooding in the south, which he anonymously sent to Li Rong. This aligns with the overarching theme of “guiding human nature rather than destroying it.” Su Rongqing can still be useful and compensate for the chaos he raised in the Capital. He got to see more of the world, rethink life and live better off than having his role end with a sword slash because he was a second ML that turned to the dark side...
Even the “big evil concubine” and her monologue before death had an impact on the ending and politics going forward.
While Li Rong becoming female Emperor did feel a bit far-fetched, she and Pei Wenxuan do have a general idea of what is going to happen in the next 30 years and presumably many people’s secrets too... I will give it a pass.
Edit : I mtl-ed this series. Even with the choppy translation (thx mtl for scrambling my brain), this story still managed to make me cry at some parts. That speaks volumes. I really love both of the MC, so beautifully, perfectly imperfect. The angst hit just right. So pretty Regarding the review by ShortK of the FMC treatments to the ML, I have to disagree. In their last life,
the Princess did give all of her heart for the ML, once. In the early days of their marriage, Li Rong loved Pei Wenxuan wholeheartedly. She was young back then, a blushing bride in her 18, excited and full of hope. For him, she sacrificed her pride in front of undeserving in-laws, making carefully-picked soups, and done things that she would never usually do. She was the emperor's most favorite daughter, after all. Her pride usually is as high as the sky, so it speaks a lot when she did all of those things for Pei Wenxuan. BUT then, Pei Wenxuan "cheated" on her, and he himself admitted to do so at the time. The rosy picture that she dreamt and painted for the two of them shattered. Then as years gone by, she... found her own ways to cope and goes on with her life, although her relationship with Pei Wenxuan was never really repaired until their second life.
Now in their second life, Li Rong, a 50 years old woman in soul who have plots and schemes as her bread and butter up until her last breath, is not someone who can love easily. She have seen how it destroyed her brother, her mother, other consorts, and how it shaped her complicated relationship with the Su something man. She was HELLA afraid of Pei Wenxuan's feelings. Fo someone who've seen the most ugly side of "love", loving someone wholeheartedly is hard. Her inner struggle was surprisingly realistic, especially the one where she feels undeserving of such feelings, and how she was at a loss on how to deal with it. And when she finally, hesitantly opened her heart slightly and earnestly say for him to " wait for her" as she reacquainted herself with the feelings that she have almost forget she has.... well.... that's just makes me cry (´༎ຶ ͜ʖ ༎ຶ `) ♡
