A Letter to Wed You

[The new story Reborn, I Won't Marry a Faithless Man is now underway: a melodramatic rebirth story of love and hatred, featuring a cold and aloof new emperor x an innocent, spoiled princess] [Below is this story's blurb: sweet heroine vs. scheming hero] The eldest daughter of the Ruan family is beautiful, and excels at putting on a sweet, delicate act to seduce her cousin. Her sincerity is scarce, but her pretense is plentiful. That's because her cousin, Yang Shixing, is the highly favored Sixth Prince. If she could win him over, she would become the most powerful woman in the land. And she did succeed. Yang Shixing fell for her and swore he would marry no one else. But after His Majesty officially granted them permission to marry, she began to have second thoughts. The reason was simple: together, they had uncovered a secret. A secret about the Sixth Prince's birth. From then on, Ruan Wenying put her heart in check and stopped dreaming of being The Outcast, second only to one and above everyone else. She was no longer as confident around her cousin as before. She either avoided him or pretended not to see him, spending every day figuring out how to call off the engagement. Yang Shixing wrapped an arm around her waist and gripped her wrist. "Why are you running? Weren't you having fun seducing me before? Now that you've got the engagement, you don't want me anymore?" Facing the inscrutable Sixth Prince, Ruan Wenying trembled in fear, understanding one thing all too well: Eavesdropping in the palace could cost you your life. Could she still get away from Yang Shixing and save her own skin? Yang Shixing leaned close to her ear and whispered softly, "Guess, do I want to kill you or marry you now?" [Blurb for the new story Reborn, I Won't Marry a Faithless Man] Qin Lan died a lonely death in her previous life. Though she was the emperor and empress's beloved daughter, she had been frail since childhood and was destined to die young. Her husband, Xie Fengzhou, loved someone else and never touched her after they married. Later, Xie Fengzhou ascended the throne. Braving a snowstorm, he welcomed the woman he loved into the palace. Qin Lan became a princess of a fallen kingdom, left to pay respects to her family all alone in her desolation. Reborn, Qin Lan returned to the day she was granted a marriage. She was still the cherished and adored Princess Jiashu, while Xie Fengzhou was still the dazzling heir to the Prince of Yi. She sprang to her feet and knelt. "Jiashu and the heir share only the affection of siblings. I beg Father Emperor to revoke the decree!" The handsome man seated beside her immediately darkened his gaze. * Everyone knew that Princess Jiashu was deeply in love with the heir to the Prince of Yi. But no one expected her to change her mind overnight, reject the marriage, and turn her attention to the other eligible young men. The princess was breathtakingly beautiful. Though frail, she was still so delicate and charming that countless young men fell for her. On a midsummer night, Qin Lan was attacked during a dragon boat outing and lost consciousness. When she woke, the faithless husband from her previous life was sitting beside her bed, gazing at her with a distant expression. "The princess has been quite the social butterfly lately, entertaining so many young men in her chambers." His long fingers brushed her face and paused on her petal-soft lips, carrying a hint of danger. "Are you really so unwilling to marry me?" Looking at this man, handsome as a jade figure yet cold and heartless, Qin Lan felt all the memories of her previous life surge through her trembling heart. But the situation was chaotic. Without the heir to the Prince of Yi, a capable and battle-tested commander, the kingdom would already have fallen to ruin. Though she wanted to gather capable people to her side, the Xie Fengzhou of today was not someone she could afford to offend. She could only swallow her anger and offer a gentle smile. "Cousin, you've misunderstood. Ning'er has never thought that." Before she could bring Xie Fengzhou down for good, she would have to learn to use him, just as he had used her in her previous life. She would use him to quell the rebellion and secure the kingdom, and also... uncover the truth about everything that had happened in her previous life.
