Also known as The Sickly Beauty Is Done with This [Reborn]
Jiang Xie, son of the Right Chancellor of Dayuan, made a name for himself at a young age. At just fourteen, the emperor personally selected him as the top candidate in the palace examination, promising him a brilliant future. He was also blessed with striking good looks.
Unfortunately, out of regard for the friendship of his youth, he tied his entire life to the fortunes of the Eastern Palace. In the end, the new emperor he had personally helped ascend the throne ended his life with a cup of poisoned wine, bringing ruin upon his father, brothers, and family as well.
More laughable still, just before he died, someone told him that the so-called debt for saving his life and the affection he had cherished since youth were all part of a scheme to lure him into a trap.
.
Reborn at fifteen, Jiang Xie faces the Crown Prince's false show of goodwill and affection with a cold expression, already working out how to make him pay back every last bit. As he turns to leave, he unexpectedly finds a little eavesdropping "stray dog" in the corner.
.
The "stray dog," Xiao Xin, is a prince, yet because his birth mother is lowborn, he lives worse than even the lowest servant.
The young prince is underfed and poorly clothed, his body frail. But his blue-green eyes, inherited from his mother's Western Regions family, are calm and clear. "Choose me. I'll be obedient."
Jiang Xie raises an eyebrow. "Do you know what you're saying?"
"I do." The fourteen-year-old stands before Jiang Xie, his gaze shining as if he were looking at a priceless treasure. "I know you won't believe me right now, but I'm only a blade. The hilt is in your hand. You only need to trust yourself."
Jiang Xie watches him for a long while, then suddenly feels that this world he had grown tired of has become interesting again.
.
Xiao Xin sees Jiang Xie as the only light in his life. In his previous life, believing Jiang Xie's heart belonged to someone else, he could only hide his feelings and protect him from the shadows. But in the end, he still couldn't keep him safe.
Now that Jiang Xie has taken his hand first in this life, he will never let go again.
.
"In this life, I will offer you all the land beneath heaven as a betrothal gift, and take you as my wife."
.
Both are reborn. A power couple. The Crown Prince goes straight to the burning altar.
