Reborn and Married to My Nemesis

Before her death, Qun Qing hated the powerful official Lu Huating more than anyone. She hated how cunning and ruthless he was, and how he helped the new emperor secure the throne. For years, she used every method she could think of to fight him, but she was never able to defeat him. In the end, she became another victim of his schemes. After her death, Qun Qing witnessed the truth. The fallen princess she had protected with her life was crying in the new emperor’s arms. “Qingqing is dead. What am I going to do?” The emperor gently kissed her. “You’ll be fine. All you need to do is love me.” The princess cried like a flower in the rain. “Qingqing is gone. I have no one left but Your Majesty.” Then Qun Qing suddenly opened her eyes. She had been reborn three years earlier. Without hesitation, she packed her things. She ignored the princess’s attempts to stop her, removed her jade crown and official badge, and walked away. She was done. Ten years of careful planning, ten years of walking on thin ice, ten years of risking her life for the princess— She wanted none of it anymore. Restore the fallen kingdom? Forget it. This time, she would live for herself. Lu Huating was a powerful official known for his deep schemes and ruthless methods. He had survived the dangerous struggle for power and had never lost. Yet after living through an entire lifetime surrounded by betrayal and human greed, he found everything meaningless. Looking back, there was only one person he could still remember clearly. A female palace official he had ordered to die by poison when he was twenty-six. She had devoted herself to the princess, repeatedly plotting against him for her sake. In the end, she knelt calmly before him on a summer day, unwilling to accept defeat but still smiling. “Victory belongs to the winner. The loser dies.” Then she drank the poison without hesitation. Blood slowly spilled from her lips. When Lu Huating opened his eyes again, he had returned to the age of twenty-three. As he looked at the endless stack of official documents before him, he felt even more bored with life. He put down his brush and leaned back in his chair. “What about the female official serving the Crown Princess?” His subordinate hesitated. “She resigned.” “She also asked me to tell you something.” “She said… she doesn’t want to fight anymore.” Lu Huating was silent for a long moment. Then he gave a cold smile. “She says she doesn’t want to fight anymore, and that’s it?” Qun Qing has decided to leave the palace, abandon the princess, and stay far away from the dangerous world of power. But the man she spent her previous life fighting against has also been reborn. This time, Lu Huating has no intention of letting her walk away so easily. One wants to escape. The other wants to know why she suddenly stopped fighting him. As they cross paths again, the two former enemies slowly discover that perhaps the person they hated most is also the person who understands them best. … Two strong-willed people. One second chance at life. Enemies in their past life. Husband and wife in this one. Love, rivalry, power, and revenge—this time, neither of them is willing to lose. — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: Reborn and Married to My Nemesis — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
