Eastern Palace [After Being Reborn, I Kicked Li Gouzi to the Curb]

A sharp-minded, ruthless top who looks like a delicate little flower × a radiant, charming, innocent bottom

Ahem, just kidding.

Zhao Sese × Qu Xiaofeng

That day, she had just recovered from a serious illness and invited me to go horseback riding. I hadn’t seen her in a long time.

She was still dressed in red, but her face was very pale. She rode a little red horse, the evening light falling across her and lending softness to her features.

She said to me, “Sese, we’re friends, right?”

I raised my eyes lazily. “Of course we’re friends.”

She smiled. She looked beautiful when she smiled, but she was no longer as innocent and carefree as when we first met. It was as if she had endured countless hardships, leaving her worn and weary.

I heard her say, “I’m leaving soon.”

Leaving? Where to? I couldn’t understand.

Only when I heard news of her again did I finally understand what she had meant by leaving.

The Ninth Princess, fiery as a maple leaf, was dead.

Only then did I realize that my heart had died with her. I hadn’t taught her how to eat crabs yet, or how to play the zither. I still hadn’t told her how her favorite little rabbit had died...

Theme: I, Zhao Sese, love Qu Xiaofeng
