After Being Reborn, I Gave Up Winning Over the Icy Young Lord

A reborn young lady who wants to avoid the world X a possessive, unhinged young nobleman

The chase-your-wife-to-the-crematorium trope, redemption through rebirth, mutual descent into obsession

Su Qingyuan, a young lady living as a dependent in the Jing'an Marquis's household, spent her previous life scheming and pursuing Xiao Jinghan, the proud and aloof heir. In return, she was imprisoned for the rest of her life, ending in misery.

Reborn on the eve of the banquet that changed her fate, with the despair and pain of her previous life still fresh in her mind, she vows to stay away from Xiao Jinghan and seeks only a good man with whom she can live in peace.

She puts away her schemes and stops trying to please others. Instead, she quietly manages her dowry and plans for the future. At a spring temple fair, she meets the gentle and refined Lu Jingyu, takes a liking to him, and believes she has found a good match.

What she doesn't know is that Xiao Jinghan, who has always treated her with indifference, has long since carved her image into his heart.

When he sees Su Qingyuan accept a peach-blossom hairpin from someone else and tuck it into her hair with a radiant smile, his usual aristocratic composure crumbles in an instant. His gaze turns sinister, and jealousy consumes him.

He begins pursuing her obsessively, using his power to ruin the man she loves and threatening her with her status as a dependent to keep her by his side.

After being rejected again and again, the icy young nobleman finally lowers himself. He takes to the kitchen, stands up to protect her, and expresses his deep feelings in his own clumsy way.

When Su Qingyuan falls into danger, Xiao Jinghan risks everything to save her and is gravely wounded. As she looks at him on his sickbed, vulnerable yet still obsessed, the shadow of her previous life gradually fades amid his heartfelt confession.

From trying desperately to avoid him to falling helplessly in love: the ultimate push and pull between a reborn young lady and an obsessive young nobleman, as he chases her to the crematorium.
