    I'm not sure if this counts as a short story, but I just finished reading it a couple of days ago. Although it's a classic reincarnation story, the palace intrigue is so much better than other historical romance novels!! The male lead almost stole his younger brother's wife (the female lead) in his previous life, but unfortunately, she died. Luckily, he gets a second chance! While we don't have the chance to do it all, why not experience this unique feeling in the book?
