A recommendation for my friend's ongoing novel, The Crown Prince Changed His Heart After Being Deposed, by Yun Shan Wu Lian.

Zhao Qionghua was reborn, returning to the age of fourteen.

It was also the year she and the Fifth Prince fell in love.

This time, Zhao Qionghua decided she would no longer make herself suffer. She would repay every grievance and protect everything belonging to the marquis's estate.

She would sever ties with the Fifth Prince, make her green-tea cousin suffer the consequences of her own actions, and, once she had avenged herself for her past life, stay at the marquis's estate enjoying food and fun, a carefree rich young lady who would never get involved in love again.

But why did the young master of the Xie family, whose marriage proposal she had rejected in her past life, keep coming to the marquis's estate day after day to propose to her?

--

When word spread through the capital that Xie Yunci wanted to marry Princess Qionghua, his other rich playboy friends first refused to believe it, then decided he must be dreaming.

Everyone knew that Xie Yunci was a notorious wastrel in the capital. He drank tea and wine at teahouses, listened to music at brothels, and did everything except attend to proper business.

And Princess Qionghua was even more willful. She had once declared she would marry no one, and had turned away countless matchmakers who came to propose.

If those two got together, the capital would probably be turned upside down.

Just as the people around him were about to persuade Xie Yunci to give up, they saw him and Zhao Qionghua strolling together at the Qixi Festival lantern fair.

The playboy Xie held up a mask and asked gently, "Qingqing, do you like this one?"

Zhao Qionghua tilted her head. "I do. Then put it on me."

Everyone: ...When did these two get together?

--

Zhao Qionghua had always thought Xie Yunci had fallen for her at first sight because of her looks.

But she did not know that after she died in her past life, Xie Yunci put on his armor once more and led his troops south to Yan.

Only after his death did anyone discover that his study was filled with portraits of a woman.

From the time she was a young girl until her hair turned white, every portrait was of her.

[Only when I loved you so deeply that I would die for you did I dare put you down on paper.]

A few tips before reading:

1. One couple, one-on-one.

2. This is a very slow, very long book. I'm writing it partly to help me get back into the right rhythm.
