Reborn to Stay Alive, the Ruthless Prince Sweeps Me into His Arms

[Both leads are devoted only to each other + marriage first, love later + sweet romance after being reborn]

He is His Highness the Prince of Yan, a legendary war hero of the Great Qian.

She is a lowly fake heiress struggling to survive in the Marquis’s household. When the true heiress falls in love with someone else, she is sent to marry him in her place and become his princess consort.

Lin Xiyue thinks the Prince of Yan is cold and heartless. She struggles to find a foothold in his household and serves him with care, but never manages to thaw his heart.

But after she is killed by the Marquis’s household, her younger sister, and the others,

he remembers the bond they shared as husband and wife.

He avenges her, weeps as he clutches her jade pendant, then makes her empress. He even summons a master to perform rites for her soul and builds a shrine and temple in her honor…

She vows to repay his kindness.

After she is reborn, the Prince of Yan says the same words he did in her previous life: “We each get what we want. You only need to follow the rules and know your place. I won’t treat you unfairly in the future.”

Lin Xiyue takes his words to heart. She works hard to help him avoid danger while keeping her “distance” from him.

Yet the Prince of Yan grows increasingly displeased with her behavior. “Why are you standing so close to another man? Do you really like me?”

“You’re not allowed to leave me.”

“Are you really that cold and heartless?”]

Lin Xiyue: “?”
