[Sweet, scheming temptress of a general's daughter × smiling, unhinged, lovesick imperial guard]
[Rebirth + two strong leads + both devoted to each other + male lead has a secret identity + HE]
Yu Ranning has been reborn.
Before her entire family is wiped out, she must take her fate back into her own hands.
She trains in martial arts to strengthen herself, uses the advantage of knowing what is to come to help her father become General Zhenyuan, and works her way toward the heart of power in the capital, first by flirting with the heir apparent, then by provoking the emperor.
Jing Heng was Yu Ranning's lover in her previous life: a celestial-looking youth who fell over the wall into her family's courtyard. He gave her prescriptions, taught her swordsmanship, and always smiled at her so tenderly.
Why has he appeared a whole year earlier in this life?
And why has he gone from being a reclusive master's disciple to an imperial guard carrying a sword at court?!
And behind everyone's backs, he's a lunatic who's killed countless people!
Did he deceive her in her previous life?
Was he involved in the destruction of the Yu family?
But why, in this life, does he insist she “repay him with herself” the moment they meet???
One day, Yu Ranning argued with her older brother, insisting on getting engaged to the heir apparent, or she'd refuse to eat for three days and nights.
But that very night, Jing Heng crawled into her bed, crying and begging her to say she didn't really love the heir apparent.
Yu Ranning: Whose side are you on, exactly? (Seriously.)
Jing Heng: I'm on your side. (Smiles.)
Yu Ranning: ...
--
Jing Heng with Yu Ranning: smiling, cuddling up to her, acting spoiled.
Jing Heng with everyone else: smiling, indifferent.
Jing Heng with everyone else after shedding his secret identity: Get lost. Kill them. If they're useless, kill them.
