[A mischievous young heir who seems sweet but is secretly ruthless × a cool, sickly strategist]
[Rivals / star-crossed love / revenge]

The year her heart first stirred, she killed the boy she loved most with her own hands.
All to carry out her revenge.
“You didn’t mean to do it, did you?” The boy lifted his tear-filled eyes. “Xiao Xiuzhu, I just don’t want to die so soon.”
At the same time, he added silently, I’m not willing to die by your hand. My heart won’t accept it.
“I didn’t hold back.”
Xiuzhu raised her eyes calmly. “Xie Huai, I want nothing more to do with you.”
“…”
After he died, the rain roared for three days and nights, as if it had gone mad. From then on, she buried her feelings away from the world.

Until the snow fell thick and bright, and everything was settled.
The realm was in chaos. The newly enthroned ruler was incompetent, while a young heir threw the official world into turmoil. The people had suffered long enough, so they rose up to set things right. But the rebellion seemed to succeed far too smoothly.
None of this should have happened so soon.
With no time to linger, Xiao Xiuzhu was blocked on the road by the young man that very night.
That day, Lin Zhe leaned against the wall, looking somewhat carefree. “I’ve disrupted your plans, Xiao Xiuzhu. Want to kill me?”
As she watched coldly, Lin Zhe taunted her in a roguish tone:
“You wouldn’t dare, because you’re in love with me, the heir.”
“…”
Years later, his face still sprang to mind the instant she thought of him.
Xiao Xiuzhu realized with a start: How could Lin Zhe look so much like the beloved she had lost?

This is an old, cringeworthy work. Not recommended!
