ROMANCE! APOCALYPSE! DRAMA LOVING GOD! REBIRTH!The hospital lights buzzed faintly above her, the edges of her vision already blurring into white. Blood pooled in her lungs. No family. No friends. Just the relentless beeping of a monitor counting down her last seconds. Rosalie stared at the sterile ceiling, tears sliding sideways across her temple.“I didn’t even get to do anything.” She whispered. “No love. No one will remember I was here. If anyone’s out there… God, fate, whatever you are, hear me. Let me live again. Somewhere. Anywhere. Let me matter.”When she woke up again, she wasn’t Rosalie anymore. She was Mei Shen, a forgotten noblewoman trapped in a story of cold nights and cruel tyrant hands. One night. No promises. A pregnancy with a tyrant's child. She ran. Hid. Escaped fate’s cruel grip.But less than a month later everything changed.“Subject detected. Lianwei Voss has entered your proximity. Obsession level: 85% - critical.

And somewhere in the darkness, the emperor’s obsession burned hotter than ever.One night, beneath the empire’s broken skyline, she found a stranger, broken, bleeding, unknown. She saved him. Not knowing she was cradling her own nightmare.

Ye Youqing was originally a big boss in the business world. Who would have known that he died one day and dressed as an abusive female protagonist who was pushed to the ground by the male protagonist.
The female protagonist, as the direct daughter of the imperial government, married the male protagonist, was abused every day, and finally ended up in ruins.
Ye Youqing: …I don’t want any money, are you human?
So, she killed the male protagonist, seized the family wealth, fought against the concubine mother, and also picked up the vicious female partner who was her enemy and pestered the male protagonist and threw it out of the door.
Unexpectedly, the vicious female partner of the fox spirit in the original book, who did not know which string was tied, turned to lie down in her room.
The woman is charming and seductive, leaning her soft body into her arms, exhaling like blue: “I want revenge, I want to make a deal with you.”
Ye Youqing was expressionless, stretched out her index finger and pushed her away.
“I want to trade with money.”
“As for anything else, that’s another price.”
——————
As an abuse article that abused the heroine, Ye Youqing felt that the direction of the story was a bit wrong.
For example, the vicious female partner who should fall into the water with her and was rescued ashore by the male lead not only fell into the water for her, but also drilled into her arms wetly.
For example, the vicious female partner who should hook up the male protagonist on her wedding night not only ignores the male protagonist, but also falls drunk in her room with messy clothes.
For example, the vicious female partner who should hate her to the bone, one day sat on her couch wearing a wedding dress, winked like silk, and opened her lips with tears: “Ye Youqing, please.”
——————
Ci Ke was slaughtered by the male protagonist since he was a child.
She thought Ye Youqing was an idiot who only thought about men, she thought she hated her to the bone.
Unexpectedly, later, she found that she was very smart, and found that she loved her deeply.
