The Reborn Crown Princess

My Crown Prince brother and the man I loved both sent betrothal gifts, asking to marry me. My imperial uncle, the emperor, smiled and asked me to choose. I looked at the gentle, refined man I loved as he softly called to me: “Love, come over here.” But a chill ran through me. I turned and took my Crown Prince brother’s hand instead. “Your subject chooses the Crown Prince.” In my previous life, I chose the man I loved with all my heart, only to learn I was nothing but a stand-in for my older sister. In the end, I met a tragic fate. This time, I chose to let go and stop hoping for anything from him. But my beloved’s eyes reddened, disbelief filling his gaze. “We agreed on this! Why didn’t you choose me?!”
