Endless Affection (Reborn Twice)

A story about a heroine and her former husband who are both reborn. He chases her too late, while the male lead fights to win her over and claims his place. In her previous life, Yun Jinyi married Zhou Baiyuan, the illegitimate son of the Marquis of Ningyuan. Over their two years of marriage, she exhausted herself, devoting everything to the Marquis's household. She never expected Zhou Baiyuan to take everything she had, then bring his mistress into the household as his official wife. Yun Jinyi was so overcome with rage that she vomited blood and died on the spot! When she opened her eyes again, it was the day after her coming-of-age ceremony. This time, when her grandmother asked what she wanted, she firmly chose not to marry! Not only would she refuse marriage, she would join the Court of Judicial Review, establish herself as a female official, and protect her entire family. With a glint in her eyes, Yun Jinyi took one look at the noble, aloof, jade-faced yet ruthless cold-blooded judge of the underworld, He Yufeng, and fell for him. * He Cang was born into darkness. He believed himself a monster, deprived of his five senses, unable to feel pain or hunger, and incapable of distinguishing beauty from ugliness. But after the Third Miss Yun of Tianning Prefecture latched onto him, his corpse-cold body suddenly began to feel all kinds of things. While they were investigating a case together, Yun Jinyi's heart condition flared up. She pressed a hand to her chest, surprised that she didn't feel the slightest discomfort. Then she turned and saw the stern, cold-hearted He Cang silently shedding tears. Yun Jinyi: … Later, with incense smoke curling and red candles flickering, Yun Jinyi fell into his arms. Her voice was soft and breathy, though she still pushed him away. "No, I'm afraid it'll hurt." The veins in He Cang's neck stood out as he held himself back, the corners of his eyes bloodshot. But his voice softened as he coaxed her. "It's all right. I'll be the only one who feels pain." She took one small step after another, pushing her luck and gradually consuming him whole. By the time He Cang came to his senses, he had taken on all the suffering of this frail, sickly beauty. And yet he was more than happy to do it. ** Everyone knew the Third Miss Yun of Tianning Prefecture came from a military family. She was gentle and refined, a peerless beauty, but sadly, a sickly beauty who seemed too delicate to withstand the slightest breeze. Everyone thought she would marry the refined and gentle Marquis of Ningyuan, Zhou Baiyuan. But to their surprise, she didn't even look at him. Instead, she turned and climbed onto the horse of He Cang, the Court of Judicial Review official radiating murderous hostility. Zhou Baiyuan thought he was going mad. He had thought she would stay right where she was, waiting for him to beckon her with a finger. But in this life, even giving up everything couldn't earn him a single glance from her.

Next, she will be strangled to death by the villain after he loses control under the influence of an aphrodisiac. She'll die without even knowing why! Right now, she's delivering an aphrodisiac to the villain. She'll die if she delivers it, and she'll die if she doesn't. Luo Ningfu is just about to give up when she opens her eyes and sees the villain's broad shoulders, narrow waist, long legs, firm chest, abs, and V-line. [He's so handsome! Hnnng...] The moment the villain looks at her with blood-red eyes, Luo Ningfu boldly tilts her head back and gulps down the aphrodisiac herself. [To die beneath the peonies is worth it, even in death! Come on!] But the villain's earlobes turn crimson, and the veins in his neck bulge. The hand that had been reaching to choke her suddenly changes course. He yanks the front of her open robe shut. Luo Ningfu: ?… Luo Ningfu suddenly understands: [He can't perform!] Later, Luo Ningfu not only becomes the villain He Fengqing's personal head maid, with lots of money and little work, she also gets to slack off and enjoy all the gossip: [If a man doesn't respect himself, he's like rotten cabbage. That stupid prince consort didn't just mistake his savior for someone else, he's even planning to take the Third Princess's spiritual root, all three parts of it!] The Third Princess: !!! The haughty Third Princess gently lifts Luo Ningfu's chin and declares imperiously, "Xiao Fu is my savior. I'm looking out for her. Got it?" [Divine Doctor Xue is the real young master. The idiots at the Medicine God Valley can't even recognize their own young lord. For some fake, they're actually planning to sacrifice Divine Doctor Xue in a blood ritual. Are they crazy?] The silver-haired, blue-eyed Divine Doctor Xue stares at Luo Ningfu with an obsessive, feverish gaze. "You promised to stay with me until the ends of the earth. How can you take that back?" [Sect Master Shen has poured countless hours of effort into raising someone else's prize. The divine dragon he raised is his younger brother's contracted beast, while his own spirit serpent is suffering in the Demon Abyss and is about to die!] The bewitchingly handsome Beast Taming Sect Master wraps his long serpent tail around Luo Ningfu's waist, his voice seductive and alluring. "You ruined my plans. Why don't you make it up to me by giving yourself to me? Hmm?" [The Holy Son is just a foil for the heaven-blessed protagonist. The harder the Holy Son works, the more fortune the protagonist absorbs, and the unluckier the Holy Son gets. The poor Holy Son has it so rough!] The cool, chaste Holy Son of the Ice Kingdom, with black hair draped over his shoulders, kneels on one knee before Luo Ningfu and devoutly kisses her fingertips. "If you say the word, I'll offer you the throne of the Ice Kingdom with both hands! Master, say something!" Luo Ningfu is stunned: !!! Why have all the villains gone out of character? [Good looks are nice, but my life matters more. If I'm not running now, when am I?] Just as Luo Ningfu packs up her things and prepares to flee, the villain He Fengqing, who has always been as gentle as jade, calmly unties her red hair ribbon and tightly wraps it around their hands. He interlaces his fingers with hers and leans close to her ear, speaking in a low, unhurried voice. "Wherever you're going, why don't we go together?" He Fengqing had been harmed by others and hadn't heard a sound in over a decade. He never expected the first voice he heard again to be so sweet and lively. For her, he could play the good guy. 1. A well-behaved and obedient-looking little maid who never stops grumbling inwardly vs. a gentle, harmless-looking big boss who is actually a cunning black-hearted schemer. 2. A one-sided, everyone-loves-her romance, a harem showdown, a touch of ensemble cast, one-on-one romance. 3. The male lead is deaf but can read lips. Theme: Saving each other and helping each other grow.
