Ming Xingchen, eldest daughter of the prominent Ming family in the capital, was beautiful, graceful, gentle, and virtuous, with a destiny blessed from birth.
Beloved by her parents and born into an illustrious family, she was even betrothed to the Second Prince. Everyone said she was a heaven-chosen noble lady.
Ming Xingchen believed it too.
Until one day, she opened her eyes and found herself reborn as a child.
???
So she'd died for no apparent reason in her previous life, and hadn't even known what killed her?
Given another chance at life, she only wanted to stay away from scumbags, build her career, and protect her family. Who could have guessed she'd end up attracting the one man in the world no one dared to provoke: the Imperial Preceptor, who had swept across the Northern Yi at nineteen, wielded immense power at court, and was as cold as ice?
Rumor had it he was devoid of passion and desire, and kept his distance from women.
But then...
He started climbing through her window every day to bring her pastries, and would keep it up all day long.
One day, there came another gentle knock at the window.
Ming Xingchen sighed. "Imperial Preceptor, why are you here again?"
His eyes held a tenderness that could never melt away, and his voice was low. "Xingchen, Yifangzhai just made a new batch of osmanthus-sugar steamed chestnut cakes. You said you wanted to try them, so I brought you some."
The whole internet watched as the Imperial Preceptor's image crumbled to pieces!
A clever, clear-headed noble family's eldest daughter who builds her career × a cold and proud man to the outside world, but obsessively doting and possessive with her
Reborn to take revenge on scumbags, with both hearts set on each other, they join forces to uncover the truth behind her death in her previous life!
