【Both Reborn, 1v1, Sweet and Clean Romance】
The day the setting sun stained the palace walls red, Chu Jingyi shattered the jade pendant that had sealed their love with her own hands. Her phoenix coronet and wedding robes gave way to plain white mourning clothes. Facing the north wind, she climbed the city wall and smiled bleakly amid the cold glint of the Imperial Guards’ armor. “Cheng Rongyang, does the empire built on the bones of the Chu and Meng families suit your imperial robes embroidered with nine dragons?”
When she opened her eyes again, the red candles still bore tear-shaped trails, and the bridal curtains retained their warmth. Back on the day after her wedding, Chu Jingyi gripped the brocade quilt embroidered with mandarin ducks, digging her nails into her palm. This time, she would tear away the false mask of warmth in the Eastern Palace with her own hands.
By the flickering candlelight deep in the palace, Cheng Rongyang gazed at his face in the bronze mirror, several years younger. The white robes billowing on the city wall in his previous life still haunted his mind. This time, he would no longer be a puppet on his father’s strings. He would defy fate and offer her an empire stretching thousands of miles as his betrothal gift, protecting her so she could live in peace year after year.
In the Moon-Gathering Hall, the fragrance of incense drifted through the air as she pushed portraits of five beauties in front of him. “A Crown Prince should share his favor equally...”
He caught her slender wrist as she tried to pull away, and the agate bracelet dug red marks into his palm. “Every one of the Eastern Palace’s twenty-seven gates and eighty-one eternal lamps was made for you. My darling, after living another life, are you still pretending not to understand?”
