Secret Lovers: How Could I Let You Down

Now that I'm back from summer vacation, I sincerely want to finish the story. I wanted to try a new writing style, but it seems my skills aren't quite there yet, and I can't break out of my own little rut.

Half a year later, I've picked up my pen again. It's still the same forbidden romance, but it's a different story this time.

In their previous lives, Xia Sizhi and Song Yunyao met a tragic end. So what will happen when Sika and Xia Yesang meet again in this life? What path will they take?

Past life:

Xia Sizhi: I'll protect you.

Fu Mingyue: If only the Seventh Prince were my cousin. If there is another life, let me meet you first!

Song Yunyao: I understand. How could I bear to see you frown...? This is... only right. In our next life, will you marry me again?

Present life:

Sika: Oh, Miss Xia, are you here to settle accounts with me? But how do you plan to pay me back for all the food you eat, the drinks you drink, and the clothes you wear? Why not repay me with yourself?

Xia Yesang: Uncle, you're picking on me.

Sika: Good girl, how is Uncle picking on you? I'm clearly showing you how much I care.

Sika: I'm telling you, you'll never leave my side in this lifetime. In your past, present, and future, there can only be one man, and that's me.

Xia Yesang: Do you really think you still have the power to control me?

Fu Haiming: You may not need me to take responsibility, but I need you to take responsibility.

Xia Yesang: ...Then marry me!

Ye Zidong: I'm sorry.

Xia Yesang: Then show me something concrete.

Xia Yesang: Actually, all I want is a simple, peaceful life, with someone who loves me and whom I love by my side.

Sika: You can have that.

Fu Haiming: From now on, you'll be the Fu family's rightful young madam. Leave him.
