Not Long for This World (Reborn)

Blurb 1 Princess Zhaohua loved making a grand entrance. While passing along Zhuque Avenue in her carriage, she dozed off and dreamed that the next day a masked man would run her through with a sword. She dismissed it, only to be pierced through the chest by a sharp blade. Even stranger, when she woke up again, she found herself back on the previous day. She was sitting in her carriage, dozing, and was jolted awake by the same dream. At the same time, she was making a grand entrance and had just reached Zhuque Avenue. After this happened several times, she decided to find an ally so she wouldn't meet the same fate again. Her gaze fell on Huo Qi, who always went out of his way to avoid her and was rumored to fear being tainted by worldly concerns. He was also the unlucky fellow who was about to die. Blurb 2 A gossip in the city asked, "Brother Huo, everyone in the capital knows you and Princess Zhaohua can't stand each other. So why have I heard that yesterday you pinned the princess against the study wall and acted so intimately with her?" "...She was telling my fortune." The gossip asked in surprise, "Do fortune-tellers usually whisper in your ear now?" "..." Huo Qi remembered that day in the study, when Jun Tao rose onto her tiptoes and leaned close to his ear, her breath sweet as orchids, the scent of orchids lingering around her and making him dizzy with desire. "Lord Huo, I hear you don't have long to live." Ever since I met you, I've thought of you day and night for years, lost my appetite for ages, and dreamed of you all the time. Of course I don't have long to live. Everyone in Jinling City thought Marquis Huo was arrogant and conceited, and that he and the Princess Zhaohua next door couldn't stand each other. Little did they know that when he was young and destitute, he had followed the example of Kuang Heng of the Western Han, boring a hole through the wall to borrow his neighbor's lamplight. The moment he accepted the candlelight offered by that girl, he had already fallen deeply in love with her. From then on, he never forgot her. Reading guide 1. This story is entirely fictional.
