Su Qing spent two lifetimes chasing Shen Yanzhi, loving him without ever winning his heart.
When she opened her eyes, she had been reborn once again.
Su Qing was terrified. This time, she only wanted to kill that bastard as soon as possible.
But in this life, the world was completely different from the one she remembered.
Her birth mother, who had been executed by her father in both previous lives, not only survived, but even toppled him and became empress while Su Qing was still young!
Su Qing was no longer a miserable little princess ignored in the Cold Palace. In the blink of an eye, she had become a noble little princess adored by everyone.
Now that she had returned in triumph, everyone who had once bullied her was crawling humbly at her feet.
As for Shen Yanzhi, Su Qing no longer needed to look up to him, and she would never fall in love with him again.
But to her utter surprise, Shen Yanzhi changed. He began to seem more and more like the Su Qing of her previous life.
He started obsessively pursuing her, even feeding himself to the Gu worms, going mad with love...

Coming soon: historical romance, Caught by My Archrival from a Past Life
In her previous life, Hua Qing used her status as a Grand Princess to force Song Jie into marriage. But his heart was hard as iron, and his coldness hurt her. Her love turned to hate, and she joined the factional struggle, becoming Song Jie's archrival. If she couldn't be the cinnabar mole in his heart, she'd be the thorn in his side!
She never expected political strife to be so brutal. Hua Qing's country fell, her family was destroyed, and Song Jie became emperor. Imprisoned in the desolate Cold Palace, she died there.
Reborn, Hua Qing met Song Jie ten years early, when he was still an eight-year-old boy.
Hua Qing smiled sweetly and wheedled the emperor: "Father, I hear Song Ziling is an excellent scholar. I want him as my study companion."
This time, she was going to raise Song Jie into a good-for-nothing!
But as she raised him, Song Jie started spending all day in the princess's chambers, always smiling at her so tenderly. What was that about???
[Scene]
After the imperial banquet, Hua Qing sent word to the newly appointed top-ranked scholar, who had also been her lover in her previous life: The Grand Princess will see you tonight at her villa on Mount Nan.
Hua Qing dressed up especially for the occasion. But when she arrived at the villa, the top scholar was nowhere to be seen. Instead, she found the former third-ranked scholar, Song Jie, who had missed the top spot because he was too handsome.
"When did the princess's taste get so bad?" Song Jie smiled tenderly, but Hua Qing felt a chill blowing at her back.
That night, Song Jie took Hua Qing to the room where they had spent their wedding night in their previous life. With nowhere left to retreat, she heard him ask, "Qingqing, have you forgotten something?"
