[Dual Male Leads + Rebirth + One-on-One, Both Pure + Court Intrigue + Mutual Devotion]
Without an older man’s doting, how could a younger man ever go wild?
The day snow fell on the Eastern Palace, the entire capital was waiting to see the Marquis of Anding made a fool of himself.
Su Yanxun, the Marquis of Anding, betrayed the crown prince who had cherished him for years and joined Prince Cheng’s faction. When he turned his sword against the prince, the resolve in his eyes was even more chilling than the winter wind.
Su Yanxun had once been the moon in the crown prince’s palm and a star beneath the eaves of the marquis’s estate. Yet he leapt willingly into the mire, becoming a calamity that bewitched the heart.
No one knew that this was Su Yanxun’s second life.
In his previous life, the crown prince died with blood staining the palace walls, his soul departing for the underworld. Reborn, Su Yanxun became consumed by madness. He carefully drew close to his enemy, using every word to wound the one he loved and keep him at a distance, hoping only to trade his own life for that man’s lifelong peace.
The young marquis called himself a calamity, so he meant to sever with his own hands the red thread fate had tied between them.
But was His Highness the Crown Prince some caged bird?
From the smallest clues, he saw through Su Yanxun’s flimsy disguise. He caught him in his desperate courage at the brink of life and death, only to turn cold and shut him out once the danger had passed.
Until, in the dead of night, the young marquis, overwhelmed by memories and red-eyed, climbed over the wall and crashed into his arms, covered in snow. One question, “What is it you feel so guilty about?” finally pried open the heart the young marquis had guarded through two lifetimes.
Love and hate, longing and anguish, hearts laid bare and broken.
Candlelight in the Eastern Palace’s warm chamber fell upon their clasped hands.
Two lonely souls who had wandered through two lifetimes finally found peace and redemption in the candlelight.
It's great that the misunderstanding was resolved quickly. I wonder if there will be a follow-up? I feel like the part about the fourth prince is a bit lacking. I thought this person was another strong enemy of theirs, but I didn't expect him to be quite honest...
