CompletedHe was reviled as a tyrant, and she was cursed as a demon empress. In what way can they not be considered a match made in heaven?
But Chi Yangqing believed herself to be different from that dog of an emperor. In her heart, she was actually a kind and pure girl.
Li Shangxuan had a terrible temper; he'd chop off heads at a whim. Those useless old ministers would stand there talking without suffering any pain, yet they dared not advise him, demanding she act as a virtuous empress. Ridiculous! Whoever wants to be a virtuous empress can be one. If she tried to advise him and the dog emperor decided to chop off her head too?
Her life was most important. From then on, her reputation as the demon empress grew. She flattered and pleased, sought glory through seduction, and made no effort to improve. Chi Yangqing diligently served in the palace for several years, and finally! The dog emperor was critically ill and instructed Chi Yangqing to be a good empress dowager and support the new emperor.
Chi Yangqing smiled. "Old dog, you're dying, yet you're still giving me orders? What does the new emperor have to do with me? I'm done serving your family. I'm leaving the palace to live a carefree immortal life. I'll find you a few more good younger brothers so you can drink tea with concubines down below." Li Shangxuan, who still had a breath left, heard this and died of anger. Before Chi Yangqing could live her immortal life, she was reborn back to the year she was about to get engaged...
The good news was that in that year, her reputation was still excellent. The bad news was that Li Shangxuan had also been reborn. Chi Yangqing smiled again. Hahahahaahahahahaha, she was finished.
***
Ever since Li Shangxuan was young, he had been trained as a crown prince with plans already in motion, including his marriage. Although it wasn't officially decided, he already had someone in mind—the daughter of his tutor. They grew up together since childhood, childhood sweethearts, with no possibility of rejection.
However, why did his little childhood sweetheart suddenly turn her back on him and refuse to marry him anymore?
1. The inspiration comes from Emperor Jing of Han's Consort Ji, but it is not a prototype. The characters are original, and the plot is fantastical.
2. It depicts the process of moving from the control of the imperial court by aristocratic families to centralized power, hence the male protagonist is called a tyrant.
3. Both lives are pure. The female protagonist is reborn, and the male protagonist will remember his past life's memories after some time.
4. In the past life, the male protagonist was already dying, not angered to death by the female protagonist. The female protagonist only cursed him, and the child was not the male protagonist's...

Zhi Rou first entered the capital bearing the identity of the Song family's fourth daughter. Outsiders said she was humble, lowly, and not of the noble class.
That year, she met Wei Yuan Zhan, the heir of Marquis Yining.
At a winter garden party, Zhi Rou and her sister were both injured by fierce dogs. Everyone focused their concern on her sister, while Zhi Rou sat alone under a tree, as if abandoned.
At this moment, a pair of brocade boots stepped over. She looked up and saw a sharp, proud young man sizing her up. After a moment, he asked, "Where does it hurt?"
Later, when others teased the heir and his Song cousin, he lowered his eyes and suddenly chuckled, "She is not listed in the family registry, so how can she be my cousin?"
Several years passed, and the old case of the seventh year of Shuode was brought up again, with Song Zhi Rou's name becoming a topic of gossip in the capital.
Those who had mocked her before now restrained themselves;
Those who had looked down on her before gradually changed their views;
Only Wei Yuan Zhan remained the same, always sparring with her and causing trouble.
Some praised his behavior as genuine and true to his nature, while others said the heir had a strong foundation and was not afraid of this disgraced noblewoman who only had a title.
No one knew that, a long, long time ago, the arrogant heir had already bowed his head to her, time and time again.

CompletedThis is a story about deep hatred and love, a 'chase love' that leads to a tragic ending.
Lou Yanxu believed her love for Xu Congjing was deep and unforgettable. However, her devotion was trampled under his feet.
They grew up together. He once crowned her hair and took beatings for her. Even when she was forced to marry someone else, he changed his identity to stay by her side, protecting and cherishing her.
Feeling indebted, she risked half her life to divorce him.
But he, abandoning his usual gentle demeanor, watched her humiliation with cold eyes and set a wedding date to marry a noble daughter.
Tears blurring her vision, Lou Yanxu, holding their token of love, went to ask him why.
Xu Congjing cornered her, kissing her fiercely and sneeringly, "It was all a joke, how can you be so naive to believe it?"
Her blood ran cold.
The wedding was set for a month later, yet Xu Congjing refused to let her go, keeping her confined in his estate.
That night, with tears streaming down, Lou Yanxu tremblingly asked him what it would take for him to free her.
Under the dim lamplight, his stern face was illuminated. The grip on her jaw was so strong it threatened to crush her bone. "I want you to taste every bitterness, to be entangled with me until death this lifetime."
It turned out, his hatred was immense. He stubbornly believed she had harmed his sister.
He hated her heartlessness and her deception, so he meticulously planned to trample on her feelings and cut off her escape routes.
They had known each other for over a decade, yet in his heart, she was so full of malicious intent.
The jade pendant shattered on the ground, just like her heart.
Half a month later, while trying to escape, Lou Yanxu was engulfed by a burst of flames before Xu Congjing's eyes.
That day, clutching their token of love, he staggered and fell down the stairs in a daze.
Only then did he realize—her entire devotion was genuine; she had never wronged him.
Panicked, he finally understood what it meant to have his heart gouged out, to regret beyond measure.
His remaining life would be spent atoning.

《Hate Until Return Time》
Everyone in Chang'an knew that the Qu and Wei families had an agreement for three generations of children to intermarry.
From the time she could remember, Qu Qingwu knew she was destined to marry Wei Yunsu.
She was deeply in love with Wei Yunsu.
She personally cooked for him, stitched his shoes, made him sachets, and treated him with all her heart.
Yet, she also hated him deeply.
As the Qu family declined, her parents, fearing they might displease him, forced her to cater to his preferences and like only what he liked, wear only what he liked to wear. If he wanted to see her, she had to be available at a moment's notice.
Controlled like a puppet, she had long forgotten her own appearance, becoming a mere reflection of him.
On the night of the full moon, her confinement ended, and in a fit of anger, she did the most outrageous thing of her life.
She decided to elope with another man.
However, before she could reach the city gates, Wei Yunsu caught her.
This incident caused him to lose face.
----------
After marriage, I, Wei Yunsu, hated her to the bone. He treated her gifts as worthless trash and overturned any food she cooked.
He never showed her tenderness in the bridal chamber, nor did he spare her face in front of outsiders.
On a certain birthday, she made him a bowl of longevity noodles, which he flung to the ground, shattering it.
He cornered her against the wall, sneering, "The way you dress up to please others truly disgusts me!"
Her heart ached, and she bit her lip, lowering her head to let a tear fall.
At the birthday banquet, she hid behind a bush of flowers and overheard someone asking when he planned to divorce her.
He uttered only one sentence, "She owes me. We will never be through until she is dead."
She immediately collapsed to the ground, feeling deathly cold.
Another full moon night, Qu Qingwu, alone, made her way to the city gates.
This time, she finally escaped.
From now on, she would be her own person.
----------
Wei Yunsu had looked forward to marrying Qu Qingwu.
He had anticipated a harmonious life together, growing old side by side.
He had long known that she had no affection for him, merely acting to please him under her parents' orders.
But as long as she was willing to play along, he vowed to respect her, love her, pour his heart into her, and protect her for a lifetime of peace and security.
However, he never imagined that Qu Qingwu, always so obedient, would dare to elope with another man!
His hair stood on end in fury, and with a marriage contract, he forced her back into his residence.
After marriage, she was respectful and gentle, attending to every detail meticulously, yet everything she did served as a constant reminder that her heart belonged to someone else.
He was jealous, he was enraged, and he wanted her to love him.
If she wouldn't love him, then they would torment each other, forever locked in a bitter struggle.
But he did not get his wish.
She fled, and this time, he could not find her.
Later, he heard people gossiping. Wei Yunsu had gone mad, crying out daily at the city gates, begging his wife to come home.

Neither could remember who first nervously looked away, nor could they distinguish the cloying sweetness of the cake that followed.
CompletedSynopsis: Gu Qingyan, a tech nouveau riche, is known in his circle for his cold indifference and being "indifferent to women." However, all these rules were completely broken after the return of the beautiful artist Lin Yuwei.
Gu Qingyan used studio collaborations as an excuse, meticulously weaving a net to constantly get closer to Lin Yuwei. But for Lin Yuwei, this was not an honor; it was more like a long-delayed judgment.
His every appearance reminded her of an indelible past. More than a decade ago, Lin Yuwei was the high and mighty "princess," and Gu Qingyan was the son of the cook, wantonly bullied by her "princess sickness."
When Lin Yuwei was pushed to a desperate situation by memories and reality, she finally admitted her mistake with tears: "Gu Qingyan, I'm sorry... I really did something wrong in the past! I promise I won't appear in front of you again. Can we just let each other go?"
Unexpectedly, Gu Qingyan silently stared at her, listening to her draw boundaries one by one, the light in his eyes dimming inch by inch. The next second, he uncontrollably kissed her, his breath hot and hoarse: "Lin Yuwei, but I seem to have developed Stockholm Syndrome. You treated me that way back then, yet I'm still hopelessly infatuated with you. Can we start over?"
Lin Yuwei was greatly shocked and nervously took a step back. That single step spoke volumes. From then on, a silent pursuit slowly unfolded.

One night, her aunt, who had already married, returned home in the pouring rain, accompanied by her gloomy and cold-eyed cousin. It turned out her aunt's husband had fled, abandoning his wife and child. The mother and son had no choice but to stay at the Ji family residence.
Her cousin spoke little but was diligent and eager to learn, practicing martial arts and studying late into the night. Banban was also reluctantly pushed into learning needlework and dance, working herself to exhaustion. Because of this, she grew to dislike her cousin, often playing tricks on him, but he would only glance at her without saying a word.
Then one day, people from the Qin state arrived, stating that her aunt's runaway husband was about to be made the Crown Prince of Qin, and might inherit the throne in the future. Banban's cousin was his legitimate son, of extraordinary status, and the mother and son needed to depart for Qin immediately.
Banban was stunned: "What? Wait, Qin state! My cousin's given name is Zheng, could he be...???"
As Ying Zheng was about to leave Zhao state, the escorts respectfully asked if there was anything else he wished to bring. The young man calmly pointed to the timid little girl, "I want her."
