Dark Fragrance

Before his rebirth, Shang Junyan's view of Su Xinyi: Despicable and shameless, cunning and deceitful, cruel and ruthless. He dreams of divorcing her.
After his rebirth, Shang Junyan's view of Su Xinyi: Beautiful and kind-hearted, open and upright, full of righteousness. He dreams of marrying her.
Before her rebirth, Su Xinyi's view of Shang Junyan: Generous and understanding, steady and dependable, a true gentleman, worth marrying.
After her rebirth, Su Xinyi's view of Shang Junyan: Petty-minded, pretentious, a real scoundrel, won't marry him even if she dies.
In her previous life, Su Xinyi had a difficult life. She jumped from a countryside girl to the only daughter of the fourth family in Qi Country Duke's Mansion. She lived cautiously and carefully. The other three families of the Duke Mansion coveted her family's property and regarded her, who had returned to her ancestry, as a thorn in their eyes, hating her and wanting her gone.
After getting married, her husband disliked her, her mother-in-law was unhappy, and they forced her to die so that her husband could marry a noble woman. Su Xinyi burned down the Pingjing Prince Mansion, so they could all die together.
After her rebirth, Su Xinyi fears nothing. First, she destroys her own marriage, then she dutifully serves her birth mother, hoping she lives a hundred years. Finally, she repays the Crown Prince's help in her previous life, praising him as a good and generous person whenever she meets someone, helping the poor and uplifting the needy, a great man indeed.
The great Crown Prince: I heard someone is spreading the word that I am a good person.
The Crown Prince, praised into his role, finds out that the little girl who has been praising him is actually meeting someone else for a blind date, a little liar telling lies!
His heart, once black as coal, gradually gains warmth because of her.
In the end, the little liar marries the very successful Crown Prince whom she praised, and her scumbag ex-husband becomes the Crown Prince's servant.

Once the Crown Prince Joins In

Upon hearing these words, the Dowager Lady wore a mix of resentment and sorrow in her brow and eyes, "When Mrs. Gao remained childless, I suggested that Fourth take concubines and expand our lineage, but he refused. He was solely devoted to Mrs. Gao. I thought their youthful affection might be enough and didn't push the issue. Perhaps they would have a child in a few years...but who would've known..."


Who would've known she would outlive her own son. Had she known her son would die so young, even if she had to be the wicked mother-in-law, she would have made sure he left behind an heir.


After Fourth passed away, Mrs. Gao was like a soulless body. It was heartbreaking to watch. Her initial resentment slowly faded. After all, she had other sons, while Mrs. Gao lost her husband and had no children. She was pitiful.


Then Xin Yi returned to our clan, suddenly invigorating Mrs. Gao, almost as if she came back to life. Especially since the child looked so much like Fourth...
