The darkened male lead thinks he’s in a crematorium

After years of struggle, Li Yunli finally became a successful corporate executive.

Then—snap—she transmigrated into a novel.

Good news: She still holds a high social status; now, she’s the powerful and influential Eldest Princess.
Bad news: She has a terrible reputation and is just a stepping stone for the protagonist, destined to be brutally executed in the plot.

And the protagonist? He’s none other than the man beside her—a fallen prince, rescued from prison by her because of his stunning looks and kept as her pet.

Now, as she looks at the protagonist kneeling before her, Li Yunli feels… complicated.

Good news: He’s exactly her type, and right now, he’s powerless. She holds his life in her hands.
Bad news: He’s already been tortured for two years and seems to have turned dark.

Faced with such a cliché script, Li Yunli feels an exhilarating challenge ahead.
How exciting.

[Male Lead]

Yun Chu endured years of humiliation and finally exacted his revenge, annihilating her kingdom and taking her life.

Yet, after she died, he fell into endless pain and despair, unable to sleep at night.
It seemed… he had long since fallen in love with her.

By the time he realized his love, it was already too late. Unable to be with her, he nearly lost his sanity.

Then—snap—he was reborn!

Good news: The heavens have shown mercy! She’s still alive! She’s still the proud Eldest Princess!
Bad news: He has returned to his lowest point—without status, without dignity, completely at her mercy, and constantly facing her wrath.

Fortunately, he knows exactly what she likes, and he can pretend.
He can act flawlessly in front of her.

Yun Chu is satisfied. As long as she’s alive, he can endure anything.

His only fear? That she might discover what he did in their past life.

As long as she doesn’t know, he can slowly win her heart…

But, as fate would have it, the more time they spend together, the more he trembles in fear—
She seems to know everything about their past life?!
