After faking my death, the male lead’s cousin went crazy

Synopsis: 

After suddenly transmigrating into a book, Shang Rongyue became the male lead’s early-dead white moonlight.

She was offered by her legitimate elder brother as a gift to an old man over fifty. Unable to bear the humiliation, Shang Rongyue leapt from a cliff and died there.

As the source of the male lead’s blackening, after her death, the male lead completely changed from his gentle personality. He overcame every obstacle and eventually became the regent who controlled the imperial court.

And when he finally reached the height of power, the first thing he did was marry her memorial tablet.

Shang Rongyue: Absolutely not! I’d much rather stay alive!

But when she opened her eyes, she was already sitting inside a bright red wedding sedan.

And, unfortunately, they happened to run into bandits halfway.

The leader was a young woman, standing straight and tall, with an impressive and heroic bearing.

With nowhere else to go, Shang Rongyue could only desperately clutch the hem of the other woman’s clothes.

Her delicate face was wet with tears.

“Chief,” she called softly, “I’ll give you all my dowry. Take me away, all right?”

The male lead? The regent?

Shang Rongyue only planned to wait until her father returned victorious from war, then go back and peacefully live as the treasured eldest young lady of her family.

As for the bandit in front of her… no one would ever know about this past.

——

The mountains and rivers were in turmoil. As the only daughter of the Marquis of Yong’an, Gu Wan put on armor and guarded one side of the border, becoming the Great Zhou Dynasty’s final line of defense.

Although she was a woman, whenever her name was mentioned in the army, no one dared to criticize her.

But she had an unknown past.

She had once picked up a delicate young lady from the roadside. Not only did that girl mistake her for a bandit, after seeing clearly that she was also a woman, she became even more clingy.

She even took the initiative to climb into Gu Wan’s bed and held onto her the entire night.

At first, Gu Wan found her terribly troublesome.

But after spending night after night together, Gu Wan gradually began to find pleasure in it.

Later, that girl, who was usually so weak and delicate, threw herself off a ten-thousand-zhang cliff with a group of villains in order to protect Gu Wan’s safety.

She did not hesitate in the slightest.

In the pitch-black night, the arrogant and unmatched General Gu went mad, carrying a lone lantern as she searched every inch below the cliff.

But in the end, all she found was a single bloodstained golden hairpin.

Aside from that, there was nothing.

——

A female general had appeared at the border. She was the current regent’s older female cousin, a young lady of the Gu family.

On the battlefield, she was unparalleled in bravery. After returning in triumph, she became the hottest new noble in court.

The people who came to propose marriage nearly wore down the Gu family’s threshold, yet this young lady of the Gu family did not even blink.

At the spring banquet, a familiar figure was sitting in the corner, laughing and chatting happily with the people beside her.

It was said that she was the youngest daughter of the Shang family, named Rongyue.

That very night, this young lady of the Shang family disappeared.

At the same time, inside the dungeon of the Gu family army camp, waves of breathless gasps continued without end.

Her brocade clothes had been crumpled into a ball and thrown into the corner.

Shang Rongyue’s eyes were wet, her face flushed red. As her body trembled, the iron chains clinked and rustled.

The gentle mask on Gu Wan’s face faded away. Her cold fingertips rubbed the red marks on Shang Rongyue’s skin.

“Back then, you didn’t even want your life anymore. Was it all for him?”

“Only I know your preferences best in this world.”

“But during those nights, did I not satisfy Yueyue?”
