[Clear-Headed Reborn Heroine × Brooding Prince] Rebirth + Regretting Losing His Wife + Ten-Year Age Gap + 1v1 Tension
The male lead was a scumbag in his previous life, though in truth he simply didn't know how to express himself. In this life, the heroine's distance from him pushes him to the breaking point.
Qu Luyan died in the arms of the man she loved most. She had spent her life serving him and plotting for him, and in the end she died taking a blade for him, in her role as his sword attendant.
She had trained in martial arts from childhood under Chu Mingyou's personal guidance. She was his blade, his shield, and the mistress he kept hidden from the world. In the end, she even gave him her life...
When she opened her eyes again, she was back at his side, covered in wounds. He gripped her chin, his eyes utterly devoid of tenderness.
“Every part of you belongs to me.”
This time, she decided to “give up trying.”
When she met someone at a restaurant, she refused to give the password. During an assassination attempt on the emperor, she deliberately let herself be captured.
The emperor asked, “Who sent you?”
Qu Luyan lowered her head and pointed at Chu Mingyou.
“Your younger broth, ”
She wanted him to despise her and let her go, to believe his blade had grown dull, rusty, and useless. Chu Mingyou would never keep a good-for-nothing around.
But his reaction was nothing like she expected.
She ran, and he dragged her back, applied medicine himself, and whispered in her ear, “Run again, and I'll chain you up!”
She accused him of treason, and he had her thrown in the imperial prison. Then he turned, pinned her against the wall, and kissed her until she could barely breathe. “Do you really want to leave me that badly?”
