The Ninth Song of Luo

[Historical rebirth, no transmigration, both leads devoted to each other, two strong leads, revenge, satisfying read]

In the first year of the Minghan era, the first year of Xiao Yanming’s reign, Luo Jiugge, daughter of a cavalry general, was formally proclaimed empress, the mother of the realm. Yet barely a month later, the once-glorious Luo Jiugge, envied by all, suffered a gruesome death by dismemberment. By imperial decree, Xiao Yanming also had every member of her general’s household, hundreds of people, put to death. That night, the entire estate was stained with blood, and the sky seemed to turn red…

Perhaps she wasn’t meant to die, or perhaps Heaven took pity on her. She came back from the dead and returned to the time when she had just turned fifteen and had never met Xiao Yanming.

Having lived again, Luo Jiugge swore that this time she would do everything in her power to ruin Xiao Yanming’s reputation, make him pay for his bloody crimes, and cast him into a living hell…

To ensure her revenge, she chose an ally from among the princes: the fourth prince, Xiao Jinxi. He made one condition: she had to marry him before he would trust her completely. She had no choice but to agree, unaware that this was all a trap Xiao Jinxi had laid so he could be with her for the rest of their lives.

Luo Jiugge assumed they would be husband and wife in name only, and that she would still have to fight alone. But to her surprise, ever since she returned to life, Xiao Jinxi had been covering for her as she tore into scheming rivals and punished the man who had betrayed her. In public, he doted on her without restraint and protected her at every turn, practically holding her in the palm of his hand.

That night, he stood before her, his eyes filled with complicated emotions. After a long silence, he finally spoke, his voice slightly hoarse and choked with emotion. “Little Dove, this time, I will keep you safe.”
