Reborn as a Lowly Concubine, I Played Dead, and the Young Lord Begged Me to Choose Him

Young Lord Pei is about to marry a new bride.

Everyone says his little concubine will probably be driven out of the manor. A Ning thinks so too.

So she runs away.

But before she can reach the city gate, Pei Jizhou catches her and takes her back, sending her to a country estate.

He says he'll take her home, but A Ning never makes it to that day. She dies all alone at the estate on a winter night.

Later, people say Young Lord Pei has gone mad. For the sake of a lowly concubine, he tortures Princess Nanchen, massacres the entire marquis's household, and even spares neither his own grandmother.

Even so, his little concubine never comes back.

Pei Jizhou never knew what love was. After A Ning dies, before love comes the heart-rending regret and pain, and the despair of spending the rest of his life unable to find her.

He understands his feelings only after his beloved has passed away. From then on, they become a curse that lasts his entire life, condemning him to an eternal winter with no spring to come.

Much later, Pei Jizhou is reborn once more, before he meets A Ning and before all the nightmares begin.

He goes to great lengths to find her, but she still runs away.

When he finally finds her again, she personally throws him into a brothel and introduces him to someone else with complete indifference:

“Young Lord Pei? He's pretty good in bed. Put him up for hire.”
