Thinking of You (Reborn)

[Main story complete. Upcoming: After I Betrayed My Ex-Husband]

Delicate yet resilient beauty VS dark, sinister power-wielding official

[The Male Lead's Story]

Liang Zhizhou's life was full of ups and downs. He crossed mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and in the end avenged his great wrongs, becoming a duke who held absolute power. Everyone respected him, and everyone feared him. They gathered a great many beauties and sent them to the Duke's residence, but he kept not one of them.

Everyone said he was cold-hearted and knew nothing of love, but no one knew how, through those long nights, he yearned for his younger brother's wife, madly and helplessly.

The thing he regretted most was not stopping her from marrying. Even after risking his life to save her, all he found was a corpse.

Fortunately, he was reborn. This time, even if it meant defying all propriety, he would take her back.

No one loves you more than I do.

In all the years you never knew, I have loved you for so long.

[The Female Lead's Story]

Yu Nianqing was born into the Marquis of Leping's household. With skin like ice and jade and beauty that could outshine the city, she had a harmonious family and an enviable engagement. Everyone in the capital envied her and was jealous of her.

But no one knew that the dreams she had every night were the exact opposite of reality. In her dreams, her exceptionally talented fiance seduced another woman, while her grandmother, who had always treated her with loving care, forced her to marry for the family's benefit. Later, her mother and elder brother met with one disaster after another, and overnight everything she had once been proud of became a mirage.

After waking from the dream, Yu Nianqing set her sights on her former fiance's elder brother, hoping to avert disaster:

Liang Zhizhou, a master of political maneuvering, selfish and sinister by nature, mercurial in temper, and a close aide to the emperor.

Yu Nianqing walked toward him, trembling with fear. Looking at the man before her, straight as a pine and bamboo, she hesitated for a long time before finally asking, "Could you help me?"

The man bent down and lifted her chin. His handsome face was concealed in shadow, his gaze heavy as he looked at her. "I never make a losing deal. Have you thought this through?"

[Little Scene]

Yu Nianqing's notebook, where she recorded the details of her daily life, was discovered. It read:

"Liang Zhizhou is dangerous, but he is willing to help me."

"I dreamed last night about someone who looked just like Liang Zhizhou. He kept kissing me."

"Liang Zhizhou changed into someone else. I'm afraid of him."

"So it was him who kissed me in those dreams."

"I remember our past life."

"He's a bad person." (Crossed out)

"He loves me very much."

"I think I love him too."

After I Betrayed My Ex-Husband

Jiang Xinyue was the daughter of a fifth-rank court official. Thanks to her mother, who came from a prominent family, she had enjoyed a refined life since childhood and had never suffered the slightest hardship.

Then, when her family fell into trouble, someone bought her for two taels of silver.

He was strikingly handsome, with a relaxed brow and bright eyes. When he looked at someone in silence, he had the oppressive presence of a towering mountain.

But no matter how handsome he was, it did not change the fact that he was a hunter.

And worst of all, the difference in their size was so great that she nearly fainted several times.

So when the Jiang family came to take her back, she simply walked away.

A month later, she discovered she was pregnant.

Jiang Xinyue: "..."

--

Pei Yannian commanded a powerful army. While recovering from an injury, he temporarily stayed in a small village,

and through a twist of fate, married a young wife.

His little wife was delicate and soft, with rosy cheeks. At night, she would weep and call him "husband, husband," acting as if she could not live without him.

He was delighted, and planned to take her back to the capital so they could live a happy life together.

But his little wife ran away.

Three months later, at a spring banquet in the pear garden,

he saw his good-for-nothing nephew holding his little wife's hand and making a heartfelt declaration of love.

His little wife's face was flushed.

His expression darkened instantly. Grabbing his pale-faced little wife's hand, he sneered, "Chu Qiaoqiao, you're really something."

He thought to himself that he absolutely would not forgive her unless she admitted her mistake and called him "husband" a hundred times.

But his little wife did not apologize. Instead, she threw up all over him.

--

It took Pei Yannian a long time to learn that Chu Qiaoqiao's name was fake, and so was her love.

But it did not matter. He could make the latter real.

Theme: Everyone can pursue the happiness that belongs to them.
