The Beloved Female Lead After She Is Reborn

Currently updating the historical romance novel After the Young Lady Flirted with the Wrong Man. See my author page. Su Tingmei, the most beautiful woman in Jiangnan, suffers a sudden family disaster and becomes a young lady forced to depend on the Dingwen Marquis household. One day, she dreams that she is offered to Prince Su Zhao Chong, a man with power over all under heaven, who confines her in his manor and keeps her at his side day and night. When she wakes, she turns the dream over in her mind for a while, then clenches her fist. "No, the manor doesn't have the cook I brought from Jiangnan, and I can't stomach the food in the capital!" To change her fate, she decides to seduce Xie Songtang, the capital's noblewomen's shared ideal man, into marrying her. She pulls out all the stops, and just as she is about to succeed, she realizes that this "Xie Songtang" doesn't seem much like the virtuous gentleman everyone describes. Especially when their skin touches, his gaze makes it seem as if he wants to devour her alive... Prince Su Zhao Chong has spent years fighting on the battlefield. He is cold, ruthless, and decisive, but he has always hidden his abnormal desires, and despises anyone who tries to get close to him by exploiting them. One day, a graceful beauty deliberately trips in front of him. He looks down on her, yet the collarbone peeking out from her loose neckline hooks his gaze like a crescent moon... Later, when Zhao Chong is gravely wounded, the woman stands by his bed with red-rimmed eyes and offers him a blessing sachet she made herself, hiding behind her back a hand covered in needle pricks. Suppressing the desire surging inside him, he feigns indifference. "Since you've gone to such lengths for this prince, I'll allow you to enter my manor as a concubine." But Zhao Chong never expects her to stare at him in shock rather than accept his offer with gratitude. Later, he sees Su Tingmei standing before his cousin, Xie Songtang, and pressing a sachet just like his into his hand. The devotion in her eyes is no different from when she looks at him. In a pitiful voice, she says, "Meiniang has cherished you for a long time, my lord. I was misled by someone else before. I hope, Third Young Master, that you'll understand how I feel." The young lady staying with the Dingwen Marquis household vanishes under mysterious circumstances. Xie Songtang searches everywhere for the woman he loves, but to no avail. Then one day, he is invited to a banquet at the prince's manor. As he walks toward a waterside pavilion in the garden, he suddenly sees the curtains sway... A bare leg covered in red marks slips out from behind the curtain, only to be seized by a hand accustomed to wielding a knife. Then he hears his cousin Zhao Chong's voice, hoarse but loud enough to reach him. "Tell him, who did you really embroider that sachet for?" A flirtatious, irresistible young lady vs. a regent with skin hunger syndrome Novel blurb: In her previous life, An Lan knew only two things: first, she had a good father; second, she had a good husband. That's how she rose effortlessly from a marquis's legitimate daughter to a prince's favored consort. But just as she was about to become empress, someone killed her. After being reborn, she finally understands one thing: in her previous life, she was a complete idiot... This is the story of a sweet, naive heroine who is reborn and carefully plots her way to defying fate and changing her destiny. Content warning: The story starts slowly, and the heroine grows over time. If you want a heroine who is brilliant and takes the world by storm the moment she's reborn, please click away. Theme:
