【Synopsis】
The second year Liu Mingyan is Crown Princess, rebel forces invade the capital.
Abandoned amid the fall of her country and the destruction of her family, she suffers through countless hardships as she flees, and dies with grievances unresolved.
As Liu Mingyan dies, she hears Crown Prince Li Jingheng’s confident promise ringing in her ears: “Mingyan, wait for me.”
Liar.
Heaven takes pity on her, and Liu Mingyan is reborn, back to the days before her marriage.
Her family and country are still intact, and she is still the carefree eldest daughter of the Liu family.
Liu Mingyan knows that if she had never become Crown Princess, the rebels would not have slaughtered her parents and siblings, and she would not have become an abandoned wife and died with bitter regret.
So Liu Mingyan decides to cut the problem off at its root: marry someone else and make it impossible for her to become Crown Princess.
Just as Liu Mingyan strolls through a garden admiring the flowers with the newly crowned top scholar, hoping to become his wife, Li Jingheng, who should be thousands of miles away, rides up before her in cold armor, a bloodstained saber in hand.
Liu Mingyan’s eyelids twitch violently, and she turns to run.
Li Jingheng spurs his horse forward, grabs the struggling Liu Mingyan, and hauls her onto the saddle, holding her firmly in his arms.
The voice engraved deep in her memory sounds beside her ear, and Liu Mingyan trembles all over. “Mingyan, I’m back.”
--
Liu Mingyan never expected that the man who once humiliated and forced her at every turn, using threats and temptation, and even crawling at her feet in the end just to make her stay, would truly be willing to let her go.
Li Jingheng never expected that he could cast aside every last shred of dignity and restraint, show her his most wretched side, and beg her for pity and compassion, only for her to insist on leaving anyway.
Then go... He can just win her back again.
Both leads are reborn. They had a misunderstanding in their past lives. One-on-one romance.
☆Upcoming novel 1: Reborn and Married to My Ex’s Archenemy. In their past life, they had an uncle-and-sister-in-law relationship; in this life, it’s an arranged marriage that turns into love.
Cui Mingying is born into a distinguished family and is unmatched in both beauty and talent. When the emperor arranges her marriage, she marries the eldest prince beneath the envious gazes of everyone around her.
The eldest prince, Wei Ke, treats her well, loves her, indulges her, and protects her. Naively, she believes she has found a good husband, unaware that it is all an act.
Only when Wei Ke’s archenemy, the battle-renowned second prince Wei Xun, suddenly dies of illness, and the emperor falls gravely ill, does Wei Ke seize absolute power and reveal his true nature.
To win over the ministers and consolidate his power, Wei Ke surrounds himself with more and more women. He watches coldly, even encouraging them, as they humiliate Cui Mingying without restraint.
Cui Mingying turns to her family for help, only to be told that Wei Ke is about to marry her younger sister. She has already been cast aside.
Heartbroken, Cui Mingying hangs herself in their wedding chamber on the day Wei Ke marries her sister.
Heaven takes pity on her, and Cui Mingying is reborn at the palace banquet where her marriage is arranged.
When the emperor asks if she has someone in mind, Cui Mingying does not shyly shake her head as she did in her previous life. Instead, she answers clearly, “The Second Prince is brave enough to defeat three armies. I have admired him for a long time.”
Nearby, Wei Ke smiles as he congratulates his younger brother Wei Xun, while the hand hidden behind his back crushes his wine cup, drawing blood.
After Cui Mingying marries Wei Xun as she wished, she assumes it won’t be long before she enjoys a comfortable life as a wealthy, carefree widow.
But the husband she marries in this life is nothing like the second prince Wei Xun in her memories: a man who kept his distance from women, spoke little, and died young.
Behind the warm silk curtains, their night of passion is all too brief.
Wei Xun’s eyes are unusually bright as he stares at Cui Mingying, whose cheeks are flushed with desire. His tender gaze seems ready to consume her.
“A Ying, do you... like this?”
“A Ying, look at me. Say my name.”
“A Ying... A Ying... my wife...”
Wei Xun loves having Cui Mingying fall asleep with her head on his chest, listening to his heartbeat.
Every beat of his heart is an unmistakable declaration of love for her.
Wei Xun’s inner thoughts: I’ve longed for her through two lifetimes, and it took everything to finally marry her. I haven’t even laid the best the world has to offer at her feet yet. How could I possibly die young?
☆Upcoming novel 2: The Marquis’s Young Childhood Sweetheart. A childhood sweetheart who has sworn off love, and a domineering heir who pursues her relentlessly.
In her previous life, the land fell to enemy forces, who invaded the capital, leaving the palace gates on the brink of collapse.
As Empress Dowager, Xia Huiyu clutches the young emperor, prepared to die for her country, when a strange general arrives to defend the throne and saves her.
Amid the storm of blood and death, she never sees her savior’s face. She only hears him say, “Your servant He Guang has come too late to save you.”
In the years that follow, the only thing to give Xia Huiyu something to look forward to in the lonely palace is the memorials He Guang sends from a thousand miles away.
Years pass, and He Guang, having reclaimed all the lost territory, writes that he is returning to the capital.
Sadly, Xia Huiyu never gets to see him. He dies on the way back.
Consumed by grief, she soon succumbs as well.
When Xia Huiyu opens her eyes again, she finds herself reborn at the age of thirteen.
She is on her way to Xizhou by carriage, bound to fulfill her betrothal to the heir of the Marquis of Jingbei.
This time, Xia Huiyu does not accept the broken engagement as she did in her previous life. Instead, she stays in Xizhou and secretly searches for He Guang.
But Xia Huiyu never expected He Guang to be so difficult to find, or her fiancé Qi Zhan to be so difficult to deal with.
Everyone knows that Qi Zhan, heir to the Marquis of Jingbei, is a born military genius. He led troops into battle at fourteen and has never lost. The enemy trembles at the mention of his name and calls him “Qi the Grim Reaper.”
What no one knows is why Qi Zhan, despite hating everything about the capital, refuses to break his engagement to Xia Huiyu, a daughter of one of its most distinguished families, and even treats her as the future mistress of his household.
They don’t know that whenever he hears anything about Xia Huiyu, a smile appears on the face that has captivated countless young ladies.
Only Qi Zhan knows how he counted the days, longing for his fiancée for 1,307 days before she finally arrived, even though she has long since forgotten him.
But the undefeated general Qi is not discouraged. He remains confident: His childhood sweetheart is still young. We have plenty of time. I’ll win her over slowly!
As for the person Xia Huiyu has been searching for...
To her face, Qi Zhan acts magnanimously and even helps her look.
Behind her back, the jealous Qi Zhan scoffs: Even if we dig up every inch of Xizhou, we won’t find that man in this life or the next!
The story opens with them being reborn~
At first, the heir has a one-sided crush on his childhood sweetheart. Later, there’ll be a little bit of him running away while she chases him to win him back ^ ^
Theme: Hope emerges from despair, and new life springs from the old.
