After the Princess Sent to Marry Was Reborn

★The main story is complete. Thank you for your support! My upcoming story, "The Imperial Uncle Is Deliberately Seeking My Hand in Marriage," is at the bottom~

Though Li Lingwei was a princess, her life was difficult. She was oppressed by the Noble Consort above her and tormented by her imperial sister below. She was even forced into a political marriage and died in a foreign land, leaving behind countless regrets.

Given another chance at life, she would take her fate into her own hands. She would protect her loyal maid from being bullied, make sure the Dowager Consort took her medicine so she wouldn't die young, and avoid a political marriage so she wouldn't be put in danger again.

Her first task was to get ahead of things and find herself a handsome, talented prince consort.

Princess Yongchang had always been proud. Her mother was a Noble Consort, and her elder brother was a likely heir to the throne. Her prince consort had to be an outstanding man.

Her father took a liking to the refined, aloof top candidate in the imperial examinations and summoned him to ask, "Are you engaged?"

Xie Jiqing: "No."

The emperor: "Would you be willing to marry a princess?"

Xie Jiqing: "May I ask which princess, Your Majesty?"

The emperor glared. "Obviously my finest princess!"

Xie Jiqing beamed. "Could it be Princess Le'an?"

That very day, word spread through the palace that Princess Yongchang had smashed everything in a room.

A male lead who seems cool and refined but is actually a hopeless romantic. Marriage first, love later x secret crush.

★Blurb for "The Imperial Uncle Is Deliberately Seeking My Hand in Marriage":

Ning Shuang was raised in luxury at the General's residence. She had skin as fair as ice and features as beautiful as jade, and was soft and charming.

One day, her true parentage was revealed, and she turned out to be the birth daughter who had been switched at birth with a child from a common family.

In public, the real heiress acted sweet and obedient. In private, she showed Ning Shuang a cruel expression. "You owe me all of this!"

Seeing her adoptive parents' troubled expressions, Ning Shuang quietly wiped away her tears and smiled. "It's all right."

All the love and affection she'd known faded like smoke. She understood that there would soon be no place for her in the household.

Calmly, she removed all her jeweled hairpins, yielded her fiance to the other girl, changed into a simple dress and hairpins, and returned to the family she had been born into.

Who could have guessed that the moment she stepped out of the General's residence, she would fall into Prince Ding's inescapable trap?

And she had no idea.

Prince Ding, Ning Beiyi, was infamous and feared. Rumor had it he never went near women and could not be tempted by anyone.

Then one day, he saw Ning Shuang in tears and realized for the first time that his former niece was so captivating she could steal anyone's heart.

Without hesitation, he exposed her true parentage.

That way, he wouldn't have to watch her part her lips and call him "Imperial Uncle" in her sweet, girlish voice.

He knew that her birth parents wouldn't treat Ning Shuang well either. Before long, the little rabbit would come obediently to him.

But she was too beautiful. Everyone wanted to pluck this pearl from a humble household. Not only did she attract covetous eyes, she also wanted to find a husband as soon as possible.

Watching her standing beside another man, Ning Beiyi ran out of patience and cornered her in an alley.

"Who do you want to marry? I'll kill him first."

A seemingly soft and pitiful but clear-headed fake heiress vs. a scheming, protective, domineering prince who takes what he wants

Happy ending | One true pairing | Fake uncle and niece | Melodrama | Taking what he wants | Regret and atonement later
