Reborn, I Became the Crown Prince’s Darling

(A quick note: there will be quite a few plotlines.) One-on-one romance, both leads are inexperienced, and the second male lead gets his comeuppance.

I’m terrible at writing blurbs and coming up with titles. Come on in for the details. The story may be revised from time to time.

Qiao Qingluo is of noble birth. Her father is a duke who commands an army, and her mother is the Princess of Changning.

She was cherished from birth, the dazzling jewel of the capital. By all rights, she should have been betrothed to the Crown Prince and become his wife, enjoying wealth and glory without end.

But when she was twelve, a woman suddenly took control of her body. The woman desperately ingratiated herself with Prince Ning, helping him rise to power with all her heart. In return, she witnessed Prince Ning committing adultery with another woman before her eyes, then received a letter of divorce and a dose of poison that he coaxed her into swallowing.

After using her whole family, Prince Ning turned his back on them and doted on his concubine while casting aside his wife.

The soul that had taken over her body panicked and fled. Qiao Qingluo regained control of herself, but died in hatred from the poison.

When she opened her eyes again, she was sixteen.

She was once more the proud, carefree eldest daughter of the Duke’s household, and everything was at its best.

Prince Ning had yet to gain the power he would later wield over the court, and her dear younger sister was still only a cousin staying under their roof.

She would destroy them piece by piece, just as they had destroyed her.

But she never noticed that the figure as cool as pine beneath snow had been watching her all along, tenderly and devotedly, as if he wanted to draw her into his very bones.
