The Princess Converts

As the legitimate princess of the Southern Zhao Kingdom, Li Shuling is cherished by her father, loved by her mother, and doted on by her brothers.

She has lived a life of wealth and splendor, with everything she wants within easy reach.

Except for the heart of that monk.

Ever since she caught that fleeting glimpse beneath the gauzy curtains, she fell completely. From then on, Puli was the one who occupied the deepest place in her heart.

Alas, the Buddha's teachings are boundless.

Before meeting the princess, Puli had only the Buddha in his heart.

After meeting her, he could neither shed his monk's robes nor let her go.

Dressed in a wedding gown as red as fire, Li Shuling asked him one last time: Have you ever had feelings for me?

Puli's eyes filled with sorrow as he prepared to make a Buddhist gesture.

Later,

people sighed over how a young girl's springtime dream had ended with her life cut short.

* An ascetic holy monk x a princess of wealth and splendor

* The heroine is doted on by everyone / she pursues him / she spoils him / BE

On her way back to the capital, Song Yongruo stopped at a temple to pray and unexpectedly met a young man.

With sharp brows and bright eyes, dressed in white, he leaned beneath a peach tree. A gentle breeze scattered a few blossoms, making him seem like an immortal.

Once she arrived in the capital, she learned that an imperial decree had betrothed her to the new emperor.

Rumor had it that after a serious illness, the new emperor, Xiao Zhi, had changed completely and become a cruel, bloodthirsty tyrant. He had also clashed with her father repeatedly in the political arena. Marrying him would be no different from jumping into a pit of fire.

Song Yongruo was frightened and still longed for her cousin in Gusu. She packed her things and sneaked away in the middle of the night, never expecting the smiling young man on the roof to catch her red-handed.

On her wedding day, Song Yongruo discovered to her astonishment that the young man was the new emperor.

Dressed in a red robe and holding the nuptial wine, Xiao Zhi clinked his cup against hers and whispered close to her ear: "My Ruoruo, you're finally married to me."

Later, in the dead of night,

Song Yongruo dreamed that in her previous life, Xiao Zhi had personally forced poisoned wine down her throat and driven her from a tower.

She woke with a start. He was gazing at her with tender eyes.

Reading notes:

* A restrained emperor with a possessive streak x a gentle, delicate young lady from a distinguished family

* One-on-one romance / male lead is reborn / he is not a good person

Intended message: A sweet romance
