   This one! The male lead comes from a prestigious family and appears to be a refined gentleman, but is actually sharp-tongued and ruthless. In their past life, the female lead's family was framed, and the male lead, with his extraordinary abilities, protected her mother and younger brother, keeping the female lead by his side. Even knowing she had ulterior motives, he still obliged. However, their ending in the previous life was likely not good (the author hasn't fully revealed it yet). In this life, he intermittently dreams of their past life, carefully plotting to be with the female lead while helping her family avoid the same fate. The female lead is a stunning beauty, somewhat spoiled but incredibly adorable. Despite her bad reputation, she doesn't care. Even though noblemen know she's not suitable to marry, their eyes always fall on her, including the male lead [smirk]. In this life, the female lead also learns about her past life in her dreams and tries to avoid its fate. Knowing the male lead's ruthlessness, and being inexperienced in this life, she feels both shy and afraid of him, but doesn't dislike him (the female lead would never admit it). Actually, the male lead did a lot, but much of it was subtly implied in the text. For example, when he first met the female lead in this life, he opened the window and watched her for a long time. When the female lead went to a restaurant, he paid the bill (in Qingfeng Pavilion, the female lead recalled whether her brother gave her the money but couldn't figure it out). When it rained at the female lead's sacrificial dance, he made preparations in advance. To see her more often, he became a teacher at the girls' school. Knowing that the Empress wanted to bestow a marriage upon him and the Third Princess at the banquet, he even calculated that the female lead's aunt would interfere, successfully scheming to get the marriage decree (even if the female lead's aunt didn't speak up, he would have found a way to get it; it's written very subtly). In short, the female lead: Breathe! The male lead: Your methods are superb. In this life, whenever the female lead shows she doesn't want him, he goes crazy [smirk], one moment cold-faced, the next fidgeting with his teacup, secretly playing tricks.

    ① The female lead is reborn as the beloved young lady of the Su family. From a young age, she dreams about the male lead (her childhood was very tragic), and she develops a natural fragrance. Later, she saves the amnesiac male lead, who pretends to be a manipulative woman and desperately tries to stay by her side as her guard. To be with her, he even uses a love potion on her, making her unable to leave him. Upon regaining her memory, she immediately requests a marriage decree from the emperor. The male lead is not a good person. ② In her past life, the female lead listened to a scumbag and his sister, causing the death of her entire family and the man who betrayed her deepest affections. Reborn, she embraces the man she hurt so deeply, spoiling him, protecting him, making amends, and compensating this insecure man. ③ The female lead travels to the Qing Dynasty through a game and becomes the Ninth Prince's wife. She can only return to the modern world by finding other players. The search scenes are very entertaining and can be considered a helpful synergy. The Ninth Prince, Yin Tang, is incredibly doting on the female lead. Although he initially looked down on her, he kept forcing her to call him "Ninth Brother." The female lead travels back in time to save her villainous junior brother. The male lead is both adorable and possessive, and he's always jealous. He's obedient in front of the female lead, but violent and arrogant in front of others. Their interactions are so sweet! [Kissing emoji]
