Startling by Each Step: Ruoxi Is Reborn and Chooses the Fourteenth Prince

Ruoxi was reborn. She returned to the year she was thirteen, carrying all the memories of her past life. Thank goodness. There was still time to change everything. She would stay away from the Fourth Prince and keep clear of the imperial palace. This time, she would live a quiet, peaceful life. As for the Fourteenth Prince, the man she had owed so much to in her previous life… This time, she would stay far away from him. But the Fourteenth Prince sought her out anyway. He smiled and called her “Ruoxi,” as though they had known each other for years. He brought her hibiscus pastries, stood guard outside her door all night, and, drunk, spoke to the moon: “I dreamed about you.” Ruoxi went cold all over. Those were the words she had said to him just before she died in her previous life. But how could he remember? “What are you so afraid of?” the Fourteenth Prince asked, staring into her eyes. Ruoxi took a step back, her voice trembling. “Fourteenth Prince, we barely know each other.” He smiled, his face brimming with a young man’s bold confidence: “Don’t we? Then why did the you in my dreams call out my name?” What Ruoxi didn’t know was this: The Fourteenth Prince hadn’t just dreamed of her. He had also dreamed of how she died.
