The Emperor's Darling (Both Reborn)

When Cui Jingshu opened her eyes again, she had returned to seven years earlier.

Emperor Xiaowen, Li Ze, still doted on her just as he had in her previous life, cherishing her above all else.

Unfortunately, Cui Jingshu could never forget the last thing she saw: the cold look in his eyes beneath that hypocritical facade.

Nor could she forget the merciless blade he gave her. She had died by that blade.

Leaving the palace was the best choice. But she never expected that man to treat her with such wholehearted devotion, even more so than in her previous life, and with even greater understanding.

Seven years ago, Li Ze lost the woman he loved. He never even got to see her one last time.

He was consumed by regret and hatred.

When he returned to seven years earlier and saw the woman he loved safe and sound before him, the teacup in his hand nearly fell to the ground.

He swore he would never let tragedy happen again in this life. For A Shu, he would protect her and keep her safe for the rest of her life.

But he never imagined that the confidante he treated with all his heart would avoid him as if he were a plague?

Li Ze: "..."

1. The male lead did not kill the female lead. It was actually someone else.

2. The male lead loves only the female lead, body and soul.

New novel: My Brother Turns Dark After the Pearl and Jade

If you're interested, feel free to check it out! Thanks!

Shen Zhu had a wonderful childhood friend of a big brother, who indulged her in everything and treasured her like the apple of his eye.

Shen Zhu never wondered why. But one day, that gentle, jade-like big brother told her, "Liu Sheng is no good, Zhu'er. Don't believe him!"

Shen Zhu smiled and retorted, "You're worrying too much, Brother."

Watching his beloved little sister grow closer and closer to Liu Sheng, her brother suddenly changed. With red-rimmed eyes, he told her, "My feelings for you... aren't just those of a brother!" Shen Zhu was so frightened that she fled.

Shen Zhu's repeated distancing and evasion nearly drove Shen Yu mad.

Consumed by heartbreak, Shen Yu grew more and more despondent.

In his despair, Shen Yu was framed by villains. In a single night, the graceful young gentleman became a prisoner, and his adoptive father was so furious that he cut ties with him.

Two years later, everything had changed.

A young gentleman came to the Shen residence. He wore magnificent clothes and exuded nobility, but the frost in his eyes was bone-chilling.

His adoptive father was stunned. "Yu... er!"

The eunuch beside the noble young man shouted, "Insolence! How dare a commoner call His Highness by his name?"

Everyone thought he had returned for revenge, but only he knew that she was the one who would bind him for the rest of his life.

Shen Yu: "What does it matter if I command the world, turning clouds with one hand and rain with the other? All the world's splendor can't compare to one smile from you."

Note: They are not blood siblings, and the male lead is sweet on the outside but dark inside.

Theme: Kindness of heart will be rewarded.
