[Both reborn + mutual devotion + the chase for love ends in a crematorium (though the male lead actually waited two lifetimes) + mystical divination + obsessive Crown Prince × reborn heiress]
The day Jiang Wan died, Crown Prince Shen Heng held her as they perished together.
Amid the flames, he said, “If there’s another life, don’t hide from me again.”
When Jiang Wan opened her eyes again, she was back on the day of her fifteenth birthday ceremony.
A eunuch called from outside: “His Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!”
The man who had been a ruthless killer in his previous life, reviled by all the people and destined to become a tyrant, was now stepping through the gates of the Jiang residence.
Jiang Wan clenched her hands and reminded herself: In this life, she would never trust the wrong person again.
Later, everyone in the capital said
The Crown Prince had gone mad.
When Jiang Wan was attacked, he stormed into the Second Prince’s residence with a sword in hand.
When Jiang Wan fell unconscious, he stood guard beside her bed for three days and three nights, eyes bloodshot as he drove everyone away.
When Jiang Wan was slandered, he turned on the court on the spot: “No one gets to pass judgment on my empress.”
Only Jiang Wan knew
The man who was cold as ice to everyone else would tear up over a single word from her.
He had kept a piece of candy for two lifetimes, still clutching it in his hand as he died.
He climbed over the wall to see her every night, just to say, “I miss you.”
In their previous life, he had held her as they perished together.
In this life, he said
“No matter who you are or what you think, you’re the only one I’ll ever choose.”
