She Returned, Hooked an Arm Around Her Childhood Sweetheart, and Made Him Lose Control

[Reborn + childhood sweethearts + reunion after years apart + both are pure and devoted]

In her previous life, Liu Man’er watched the top scholar, crowned with flowers, parade through the streets. His aloof beauty captivated her at first sight, and she never noticed the young general Mu Zhihan arriving late.

But things did not go as she had hoped. Soon afterward, the Liu family fell into ruin. The top scholar stayed out of it, not only refusing to help but also treating her coldly from then on. Her in-laws kicked her while she was down, their attitude toward her turning utterly hostile.

Her father was executed by slicing, her mother took her own life, and her elder brother died of illness on the way to military service. Staring at the divorce papers in her hands, she felt her heart turn to ashes.

With a strip of white silk, she ended her life in the former Liu family residence.

Reborn, she looked at that familiar face again and could only think that she must have been bewitched to have given her whole life to the wrong man.

Then, at an inadvertent glance, she saw the childhood friend she had not seen in three years. He rode toward her in silver armor and a red robe. He was no longer the boy he once was, and she had thought there might be some distance between them.

But somehow she found herself going to meet him. Seeing him stare at her in a daze, she reached out and pinched his waist. “Why are you just standing there? Don’t you recognize me?”

Mu Zhihan looked down at her, his eyes trembling...

Later, beneath the dim moonlight, Mu Zhihan leaned close to her and watched her with a faint smile, his gaze dark. “Should we... give it a try?”

“Huh?”

She hadn’t agreed, but her heart was already pounding like a drum.
