Blurb for this story

As the only daughter of the Grand Princess, Ruan Mengfu is adored by the imperial family. Spoiled and unruly, she is known throughout the capital as a little menace. She has everything she could want, including a fiancé whom all the noble young ladies in the capital dream of marrying: the heir to the Marquis of Jing'an.

But who could have imagined that the day she married into the marquis's household would be the day she died? The one who poisoned her was none other than her "fiancé," who had once sworn eternal love to her.

Perhaps even Heaven couldn't bear to let her die unjustly, because when she opened her eyes, she had returned to the age of eight. Her cousin, the Crown Prince, was asking her to help choose who would become his study companion. She looked at the two people standing in front of her. One was her "fiancé" from her previous life, and the other was his elder brother, born of the principal wife, who was burdened with a reputation for bringing about his mother's death.

The corner of her mouth lifted. She pointed to the boy standing beside her "fiancé," head bowed and silent. "I choose him!"

That one choice led to a different future.

The male lead's perspective

Nian Yi'an never imagined that one day the charming, willful, kind-hearted little girl would turn her gaze toward him.

Ever since he was born, he had lived under the reputation of having caused his mother's death. No one in his family liked him. Even his name had been chosen to make him keep his head down and live quietly, so he had turned himself into a mute.

How could an inconspicuous person like him ever be chosen by such a dazzling little girl?

He curled his lips into a smile. In this life, he would protect her and keep her safe, never letting her suffer as she had in her previous life.

Upcoming story: "Auntie Above All"

The Grand Princess has been quite troubled lately. She has reached the age to choose a husband.

Her first candidate was a newly appointed top scholar. He only went to the palace to play chess with Zhao Mingxiu, but the game led him to enlightenment, and he became a monk.

Her second candidate was the son of the Northern Garrison's great general. But when the two of them went on an outing, they ran into Zhao Mingxiu leading a young child by the hand. The child saw the young general and called him "Dad."

The third candidate came from a respectable family and was handsome. She was quite pleased with him, but Zhao Mingxiu had gone along under the pretense of helping her choose. As soon as he stepped forward, the man was so frightened that he hid behind his mother...

After carefully piecing everything together, she finally found the culprit who was keeping her from finding a husband!

"A Xun, just because you can't get married right now doesn't mean you should stop other people from marrying before you..."

"I'm your aunt. What sort of younger relative meddles in an elder's marriage?"

Zhao Mingxiu had never been able to tolerate anything unclean in front of him. At that very moment, the person before him angrily slapped the table, accidentally knocking over the inkstone. Ink stained the desk and the memorials he had yet to review.

The Grand Princess grew more and more aggrieved, but Zhao Mingxiu gently wiped the ink from her hand and calmly asked, "Auntie, why do you think I'm stopping you from choosing a husband?"

She raised her head. There was an unreadable emotion in Zhao Mingxiu's eyes, and a light went on in her mind. "Could it be that you..."

Zhao Mingxiu had a feeling she wouldn't say what he wanted to hear.

And sure enough...

"Could it be that you don't want to call a man younger than you Uncle?"

"A Xun, let go of your pride!"

Zhao Mingxiu thought to himself: Rather than let those fools become her husband, he might as well become his own little uncle-in-law.

In his previous life, he became a wise ruler, but could only watch the person before him die unjustly. Now that he had been reborn, what was wrong with living recklessly for once?

(Important: The male and female leads are not related by blood! The male lead knows this! Their current ages: male lead, twenty; female lead, seventeen.)
