After Being Reborn, I Gave Up Pursuing the Ice-Cold Heir 1

Reborn to Change My Fate + Healing from Emotional Detachment + Angst Before Sweetness + Political Intrigue and Romance

In my past life, I, Lin Qingci, was the legitimate daughter of the prime minister. For Xiao Jingheng, heir to the Prince of Zhennan, I humbled myself until I was no better than dirt.

Five years of devotion: I cooked for him, defied my father and brothers, and finally took a fatal blade meant for him. I died in front of him, and only then did I earn the faintest ripple in his eyes.

Reborn at seventeen, at the spring banquet, I looked at the bowl of plum-blossom soup destined to start my ill-fated relationship, turned around, and tossed it to my maid!

What heir? What romance? I'm done with it! Staying alive comes first. A peaceful life is what matters!

But can someone tell me why Xiao Jingheng, who was ice-cold toward me in my past life and suffered from emotional detachment, has suddenly changed?

He gives me a rare poetry collection at a poetry gathering, runs into me at the temple, gets injured in my place at a polo match, and even waits outside my home in the rain, his eyes red as he asks why I'm avoiding him.

Then he holds up his birth mother's old hairpin and a yellowed medical record, and tells me in a hoarse voice, "Qingci, it was only when you died in my past life that I understood what pain was."

Only then do I realize that this man, controlled by the empress and forced to suppress his emotions for half his life, has also been reborn with his memories!
