[Both Reborn + Older Man/Younger Woman Romance + Marriage-Pushing System + Instinctive Attraction]
At the An Yang Earl's residence, a banquet celebrating the birth of a son drew a steady stream of eligible young men.
Luo Qingyu stayed in a corner, idling.
"Is that young Master Wei in the middle, the one who recently returned in triumph after winning a battle?"
-- I married him before.
"Is that the second son of the Fan family on the left, one of the most accomplished and virtuous young nobles?"
-- Married him before, too.
"And on the right, is that the humble-born top candidate who rode through the streets a few months ago and captured the hearts of countless women?"
-- Married him as well.
As it happened, all three men the guests were discussing were Luo Qingyu's late husbands, each of whom had died young.
That's right. All. Three. Of. Them. (Modest, modest, and more modest.)
And as if that weren't enough, when she was fifteen, she got bound to a System called "Marry or Die." She lived three times in the same identity, in the same dynasty, and got married three times, only to die three times.
This time, she was living her fourth life.
Luo Qingyu: Well... damn it all! (Roaring! Roaring! Roaring even louder!!!)
Luo Qingyu and her fourth husband's first impressions of each other:
Luo Qingyu: He looks like a celestial maiden.
Cui Jin: She looks like a temptress.
What the two of them secretly thought of each other:
Luo Qingyu: I recognize that look. He's someone I wouldn't dare dream of even after living four lifetimes.
Cui Jin: I recognize that look. She's the woman I've secretly yearned for my entire previous life.
