Snow’s Last Wish: The Young General Was Reborn

[A gentle, clever noblewoman × a dashing young general] [Hero reborn + marriage before love + winning his wife back + both devoted only to each other + he decides to marry her without ever having met her] Noblewomen and officials' wives throughout the capital all knew that Meng Yinshu, the third legitimate daughter of the Minister of Revenue, was gentle and virtuous, skilled in the eight refined arts, and a renowned example of a noblewoman. With the court in turmoil, Meng Yinshu made countless plans to avoid getting caught in the crossfire. All she wanted was a quiet, carefree life. Who could have guessed that the young heir, He Yanzhen, would return victorious from war and use the merits he'd earned on the battlefield to ask for the legitimate daughter of the Meng family, the Minister of Revenue's household, in marriage? With a single marriage contract, everything was settled. All her carefully laid plans came to nothing. Meng Yinshu was so furious she fainted and remained unconscious for three whole days. As for the culprit who had undone all her hard work, she naturally had no good impression of him. So Meng Yinshu could only watch with a tight, humorless smile as He Yanzhen, wearing that pleasing face of his, brought her pastries from Wei Xian House and all sorts of exquisite little trinkets from time to time... Years into their marriage, a series of suspicious details finally forced Meng Yinshu to confront He Yanzhen. Only then did she learn his secret: he had been reborn. From the moment he was born, He Yanzhen had been the pampered heir of a marquis's household. Equally accomplished in letters and arms, he lived a carefree, easy life. He had always looked down on the grand romances in storybooks, believing love at first sight was nothing but an excuse invented by people with ulterior motives. Then, during the Shangyuan Festival before he left for war, he was jostled by the crowd on a bridge and couldn't move. By chance, he spotted the graceful figure of a young woman standing by the river with a rabbit lantern in her hands. One breathtaking glimpse, and he never forgot her. [The male lead is devoted in both body and heart in both lives, and is no brute! The story has plenty of foreshadowing and a slow pace. Both leads are clever in both lives.]
