Reborn: My Concubine Aunt Has Shut Her Heart to Love

Ruan Xiaoli died on a snowy night in the cold palace. Her withered bones were wrapped in tattered rags, and the last thing reflected in her eyes was the splendid sight of He Jin, clad in imperial robes and standing beside his new empress. In her previous life, she sacrificed her family and gave him her heart, only to be branded a “femme fatale who ruined the country” and used as a stepping stone on his path to the throne. Reborn, she returns to the day she first entered the prince’s manor. She shuts her heart to love and cares only for money. The lovesick girl of the past becomes a shrewd calculator, carefully building her fortune while keeping her distance from the imperial city that trapped her for life. But He Jin has changed. The man who once treated her love as a bargaining chip suddenly begins pursuing her like a madman after waking from a nightmare one midnight. He sheds his prince’s robes and kneels outside her shop, eyes red as he asks, “Xiaoli, will you come back?” Ruan Xiaoli simply works her abacus. Its crisp clicks carry a note of distance. “Your Highness, talking about money hurts feelings. Talking about feelings? That hurts money.” In this life, she will become the richest person in the world. As for him, the future emperor “He Jin, between us, all that remains is a clean financial transaction.”
