[The novel is complete. Thank you to all the readers who supported the official version and were so understanding. The bonus chapter about her past life is on my author page, free to read. The companion novel, Hidden Luan, is complete.]
Pearls and jade shine in autumn's twilight; silk and gauze glow in early spring.
Only Xie Yi knows how long he has yearned for the young woman who lent her beauty to late spring.
He would rather bear the infamy of stealing another man's wife in two lifetimes than let her go again.
Blurb two:
In her previous life, Xie Yi stole another man's wife. They were married for ten years, until they became enemies.
She hated and despised him, stubbornly refusing to love him. Yet after he died, she took her own life for love.
Given another chance, he saves her again. The young girl rests against his shoulder, softly thanking him. She is still nothing like the cold, icy woman she will become. Xie Yi wants to steal her, body and heart, then neglect her so she can taste what it was like for him to long for something he could never have in his previous life.
But later, after he marries her, the young girl smiles at him and calls him "husband." In the end, he can't hold back. He walks over with a stern face...
One-line summary: The husband I once treated like dirt has been reborn.
A cool, aloof beauty like an iceberg X the husband who couldn't have her in his past life, reborn for revenge~
The male lead is reborn, but the female lead isn't. Both are virgins, 1v1. Little by little, she'll melt under his warmth~
[An early work. The pacing is slow and the writing is wordy. You may want to read the bonus chapter about the previous life.]
The male lead's blurb
The old capital's shores are thick with grass. I gaze toward the distant Huai River, still circling the lonely city. I think of the young men in black robes, their brilliant talent, and spears and halberds crowding the sky. I sit and watch the arrogant army cross south, waves surging like startled whales. In a flash, the eastward waters flow, and one glance brings victory.
※ Huan: tragedy in the past life, happy ending in this life; sweet, with marriage before love.
※ Set in a fictional Eastern Jin dynasty. Many historical figures and details have been mixed together, so I wouldn't dare claim they're based on any real person. This is just a romance novel, not historical fiction.

Theme: Nothing can bind two hearts together; fireworks are too delicate to cut.
When the egret comes down! No heart!
Zang Luan saw A Rui being bullied for the second time and came over to scold Bai Ge!
After reading Zangluan, and then looking at this, I feel like every word is a knife! Woo woo woo. Thanks! Someone is bullying you, my dear girl!
What did I see! ! ! ! Renew! ! ! ! Madam, I want to lift you up upside down and shake you! ! !
Xie Yi, Bai Yueguang, who has no suspense as the male lead in ancient times, is already in trouble. My wife will show mercy and let the young general named Xie, who is both civil and military, be the male lead again 5555555
No matter how many times I read this article, I still have expectations! I have never read a paper so carefully. Xie Yi will always be in the white moonlight...
I like this article very much, so I wrote a book review. It has been almost a month since I read it. It is a supplementary review. It is my humble opinion. If there are any mistakes, please let me know.
I first became aware of "Beauty Is Hard to Seduce" in May. After watching the beginning, I was immediately attracted to it. Later, there were many things going on, so I postponed reading it intermittently until July. I paired this book with Mu Han's "Sentiment Should Be Me". When the past lives of Jiao Jiao and Xie Langjun were mentioned, I almost cried.
Confession to Xie Yi and Xie Langjun. Like the author, I like him very much. On the outside, he is charming and upright, but he is very cunning and cunning towards Jiao Jiao, so he is very careful. He maintained a fiery and steadfast love for her in both lives, one glance lasting ten years. More importantly, he gave her the warmth and love she had missed when she was young, and promised to stay with her forever.
As the saying goes, a true celebrity comes from being romantic. The romantic character reflected in Xie Yi is not only the elegance of his appearance and behavior, which is as bright as the sun and the moon in his arms, and as decadent as the jade mountain. Facing the delicate and lovely side of his wife, he turned the hundred-refined steel into the softness of his fingers, and faced the powerful enemy with fearlessness and calmness. In my eyes, he is a person who is strong and soft at the same time, and he is a person who perfectly interprets the meaning of romance.
As for the cute little Jiao Jiao, she started out as a virtuous woman in the traditional sense, soft and dignified, humble and respectful. Although she is soft and lovable, she is not a weak person in the traditional sense. She has principles and bottom lines, is soft on the outside but strong on the inside. Later, she fell in love with the male protagonist, and because the first sixteen years of her life were bitter and no one taught her to love, she used the wrong way of expression (she liked Lang Jun more than I liked Laozi and Zhuangzi, and when I saw this, I thought the heroine was so cute), but New Year's Eve made her completely firm in her heart, and her love finally prompted her to save him regardless of danger.
The interaction between the male and female protagonists is inexplicably cute. Watching it from beginning to end, I felt that it was not greasy like margarine, but a gradual sweetness. Jiao Jiao went from the flower of the high mountains to the beloved, and Xie Langjun went from the noble son to the pillar of his family and country. I am so lucky to have witnessed the growth of Jiao Jiao and Xie Lang, and also witnessed their deep love for each other. I only wish that I can hold my son's hand and grow old together with him in this life. I only hope that I will live up to my time and live up to you.
Finally, I once again confess that this article is fictional, but it uses a lot of allusions, and I also like the writing style. (Fascination with men and girls)
No, why do women always think that this kind of second man who thinks he is affectionate is very good? Don't you find it disgusting? And the heroine, why are you blushing? The author's writing is very good, but the heroine is too soft. He insists on writing an affectionate male lead, which disgusts readers. Is he worthy of writing a side story for him? It's disgusting.
I've seen it elsewhere and came here to check it out again. They didn't like to talk, they kept their questions in their hearts, causing misunderstandings between each other. The first life was so heartbreaking. The female protagonist has a cold personality and is not good at expressing herself due to her mother. Fortunately, there is a consistent male protagonist who makes their relationship start and end well.
I feel that this is a very high-quality novel among the ones I have read (ah ha, this is my first time reading the male protagonist's rebirth). I really like Xie Langjun, a clear-minded male protagonist. Hahaha, come on.
I feel like I've made up for the classical Chinese that I missed in high school.
