Back to My Cold Husband's Youth

Arrogant beauty vs. aloof top scholar | Sweet romance + healing

On the winter solstice of the twenty-third year of Nanxia, Shen Quezhi celebrated her birthday, then returned to her little courtyard with Pei Lang.

The courtyard was quiet. They had no children in their lives and relied on each other. They looked up at the moon, remembering half a lifetime spent together through the rise and fall of two dynasties.

As she reminisced, Shen Quezhi turned to Pei Lang, her eyes shining.

Pei Lang pinched the tip of her nose. "What mischief are you plotting now?"

Shen Quezhi buried her face in the crook of Pei Lang's neck, her voice growing softer. "It would be nice if you had a child to keep you company..."

Not long afterward, Shen Quezhi died. Pei Lang gave her a splendid funeral, then hanged himself before her grave.

When Shen Quezhi awoke again, she found herself back in her childhood. She hurried to find Pei Lang and pulled the little boy into her arms. She held him until a struggle interrupted everything she was doing

Little Pei Lang blushed with embarrassment, then grew angry. In a soft but furious voice, he said, "You... pervert!"
