"Pei Zhou, let's break off our engagement. I don't love you anymore."

"Yaoyao, you said you would only ever love me."

"How can love compare to wealth and glory?"

Fifteen years ago, her family forced her into the palace. She toyed with her childhood sweetheart, her betrothed, then abandoned him, leaving him no choice but to flee to the frontier.

"Do you regret breaking off our engagement and ending up like this?"

"You were nothing but a pawn. The wealth you dreamed of was nothing more than a butterfly's dream."

Fifteen years later, she was sent to the Cold Palace. After ten years bedridden with illness, the person she saw before she died was none other than him, now the new emperor.

Sheng Mengqiong knew this was retribution. She had been nothing but a pawn sent to the palace in someone else's place, and in the end, she had hurt him and ruined herself.

Unable to avenge her great wrongs, she died full of resentment and became a vengeful ghost in the palace.

Sheng Mengqiong saw him slaughter the entire household of the Protector General. She saw the new emperor, who stood above all others, kneel humbly before her grave and softly whisper her childhood name. She saw him wake from nightmares every night, only able to fall asleep with her portrait in his arms.

She awoke from her long dream and regretted everything. He had loved her with all his heart.

Reborn, she returned to the time after she had abandoned her betrothed. She was still the so-called daughter of the Sheng family, and he had not yet left for the frontier.

Sheng Mengqiong swore that she would not only take revenge, but also win her betrothed back.

She had powerful backing for her revenge, but her husband-to-be was hard to placate.

She went to see him without shame, knowing his character and clinging to him.

Pei Zhou looked coldly at the young woman. "Have you no shame? What exactly are you trying to do?"

The young woman hugged him and apologized pitifully. "Changming-gege, I'm sorry."

"We're not close. Who are you calling your brother? Let go." Pei Zhou was icy.

Sheng Mengqiong refused to back down. "But when I kissed you, you didn't push me away."

Pei Zhou's face turned red with pride. "Foolish woman, it was only a kiss." His words were casual, but the large hand resting on the young woman's waist suddenly tightened.

"One kiss isn't enough, so I want to give you my whole life." Pei Zhou would always be especially tenderhearted with her. Sheng Mengqiong was certain of it.

In his previous life, he had taken ninety-nine steps toward her. In this life, let her take the ninety-nine steps, along with the one step he had taken in his previous life.

Little bonus scene: He can embroider.

The servant hurriedly said, "Master, Madam is hurt, but she..." Before he could finish, Pei Zhou was gone.

Pei Zhou looked coldly at his beloved wife. "Where are you hurt?"

Yaoyao looked confused. "Huh? I just pricked myself with an embroidery needle."

Pei Zhou looked disdainful. "You're hopeless. I'll do it."

Yaoyao covered her mouth in surprise. "Huh? How do you know how to embroider, brother?"

Pei Zhou looked proud. "I picked it up at a glance." (In truth, he'd been secretly practicing for ages.)

# Pei Zhou is a little tsundere and quick-tempered. Yaoyao can cure him with her coquettish act, cuteness, and playful antics.

# Yaoyao was forced into the palace by her family. After spending so long in the palace, she's a little yandere.

# Both are inexperienced, and they only have eyes for each other.

# The hero remembers his previous life, so both of them are technically reborn.

A groveling romance with a happy ending.

Princess Zhao Zhirou of the Daqing Dynasty falls into the water and wakes from a coma. She suddenly seems like a different person. She used to love her husband, Yan Zhou, but after waking up, she can't stand him.

Yan Zhou is a gentleman renowned throughout the capital, as radiant as a fine gem and as elegant as brocade. He cares nothing for wealth and is untouched by romantic love. But when the emperor suddenly arranges a marriage, he has no choice but to marry the princess.

He dislikes being controlled by affection and being pestered by others. So he responds to the princess's affection and advances with cold indifference, even speaking harshly to her.

However, Zhao Zhirou falls into the water while trying to retrieve the Buddhist prayer beads he gave her and lies unconscious. When she wakes, her attitude toward him has completely changed. She is utterly cold, no longer spares him a glance, and even announces in front of everyone that she wants a divorce.

He regrets everything. The young woman's sweetness and love had become a taste he couldn't live without. How could he forget her, when she haunted his thoughts day and night?

The gentleman Yan Zhou abandons his strict self-control and propriety, humbles himself, and begins to pursue his wife. In the dead of night, he pins the young woman against the bed and murmurs with tender obsession, "Zhizhi, since you've disturbed my heart, you'll have to take responsibility for the rest of your life."

Everyone sighs. Yan Zhou, the jade-like gentleman renowned throughout the capital, once so aloof and proper, has fallen from his pedestal and become an ordinary man troubled by love.
