In her previous life, Su Su followed her parents' wishes and married the Crown Prince. On the eve of their engagement, Emperor Chengan, an elder to her, met her in private and poured out his love for her. Su Su ran away.
Only after marrying the Crown Prince did she learn that he loved her half-sister. He had asked for her hand only for the sake of Su Yan. On their wedding night, the Crown Prince left her alone and slept in his study, turning Su Su into the laughingstock of the entire household.
Two years later, she died after being framed by her half-sister. Then she saw the man she had always regarded as an elder avenge her, and finally realized that the man she had rejected was the one who loved her most.
Reborn, Su Su abandoned the Crown Prince and her half-sister, who had used her, and turned to the dignified man instead. From then on, she had fine carriages and fine horses, beaded curtains and embroidered screens, and boundless favor. Everyone was left gaping in astonishment.
Emperor Chengan had never cared for love in his life, focusing all his attention on governing. He never expected to fall in love with a young woman after turning thirty.
She was the same age as his son. Emperor Chengan held himself back again and again, convinced he couldn't ruin the young woman's life. Then his own son asked him to arrange a marriage, and the bride-to-be turned out to be that very girl.
Emperor Chengan couldn't hold back any longer. He did something impulsive: he went to confess his feelings to the young woman. As expected, she ran away in fright.
For her happiness, Emperor Chengan swallowed his jealousy, reluctance, and anger and arranged the marriage between the two, praying that his young woman would find happiness.
Two years later, he heard that the Crown Princess had died. He investigated the matter, exiled the Crown Prince and his concubine a thousand miles away, and died in anguish over the loss of his beloved. When he opened his eyes, he was back two years earlier.
Su Su threw herself into his arms, alive and well.
This time, Emperor Chengan didn't want to let go. If she couldn't find happiness elsewhere, why couldn't he be the one to give it to her?
In this life, even if she died, she would die in his arms.
Both reborn, with an age gap: a sweet, clingy girl x an older man who restrains himself for love
Warnings!!!
The Emperor is old, so of course he's not a virgin. If you can't accept that, run, my dears. Run without looking back!!
