[Double Rebirth | The Long Road to Winning Back His Wife | Childhood Friends]
Gentle, aloof childhood friend × Scheming, possessive childhood sweetheart
A struggle for the throne brought the execution of the entire Minister of Revenue’s household. The infant Xiao Qinyue was lucky enough to survive and was raised in the Xiao household.
When she came of age, she gathered her courage at the Lantern Festival and confessed to the person she loved. His only response was a cold, “You’re just like a sister to me.”
Heartbroken, she accepted a marriage proposal from the young marquis of the Duke of Dingguo’s household. On the eve of her wedding, she drank plum wine alone, unaware that her cup already held a deadly secret.
He set off for the frontier alone on the day she was to be married, only to receive news of her death before he could leave. That night, he went mad and charged into enemy ranks, dying beneath a rain of arrows.
Reborn, she wanted only to avoid the man who had once broken her heart. He, however, vowed to keep her safe in this life.
Fate turned full circle. Once again, someone framed her and sent her over a cliff, leaving her with amnesia. When they met again, he was a powerful minister who held the reins of government, while she was a physician living in seclusion in the mountains, engaged to another.
She didn’t remember him, but he pursued her relentlessly.
He drew her into his arms and murmured with a low laugh, “What if I am the law of heaven? I offer you this vast realm as my bride price, Yue’er. Will you marry me?”
