The Substitute Marries the Crown Prince Again (Reborn)

[First novel, written for practice]

Su Ranran was a concubine-born daughter of the Marquis's household. She respected the principal wife and her legitimate elder sister, never daring to overstep, for fear of ruining her chances of a good marriage.

When an imperial decree arrived arranging a marriage, she was happy for her elder sister. But to her surprise, the ailing Crown Prince, whose influence was at its height, wanted to marry her as his Crown Princess.

Afterward, the Crown Prince treated her wonderfully, nothing like the cold and capricious man described in the rumors. Su Ranran thought he must be someone she could entrust her life to.

It wasn't until their wedding that Su Ranran remembered her past life.

It turned out that the Crown Prince's beloved was her elder sister. She was merely her sister's substitute. He married her, imprisoned her in the Eastern Palace, and drove her to her death.

And now, he'd fooled her all over again.

One day, Su Ranran heard the news: "The Crown Princess has died, and the Crown Prince is critically ill." She walked away without looking back.

Oh, he's critically ill? Then she'd better hurry up and marry the man she'd found. Having a dead ex-husband isn't exactly lucky.

When her veil was lifted, Su Ranran looked at the man before her. Did this look like someone gravely ill and on the brink of death? Suddenly, she was lifted off her feet and held tightly in his arms. "Ranran, call me your husband."

Note: The story is set in a fictional world, and both leads are reborn.
