[Rebirth story + sharp-tongued heroine + aloof, noble prince + satisfying revenge]!!!
When Gu Qing'er wakes up, she discovers that she has been reborn. In her previous life, she was forced to take poison and kill herself. Now that she has returned, she knows everything that will happen. She tears into scummy men and takes down scheming rivals!
She had already planned to give up on life and never marry, but then she realizes she is slowly falling for the prince.
"Let’s end things here," Gu Qing'er says in disappointment.
"End things? As long as I’m alive, we’re not ending anything!" The prince continues to press her at every turn.
"Why won’t you leave me alone? Wouldn’t it be better if we went our separate ways from now on?"
"I love you. I’ve spent half my life hoping you’d marry me. I can’t pretend we have nothing to do with each other."
Xiao Ze grips Gu Qing'er's wrist tightly, as if she might fly away the instant he lets go.
"You love me? Is marrying some stranger what you call love? Is pushing past my limits again and again what you call love?"
Gu Qing'er clenches her fists and pries his fingers away one by one.
The next day, she fakes her own death and disappears for half a year.
When they meet again six months later, the prince looks haggard and spends every day drunk, imagining he sees her in his dreams.
But when she returns, she has forgotten the prince who loved her more than life itself.
The good-looking heroine is not stupid and sweet.
