[A moody, celibate prince x a sweet, languid, stunning concubine]

Hang Ruo was born with breathtaking beauty, but lost her parents at a young age and had to live under someone else's roof.

Her future mother-in-law despised her, and the innocent-seeming cousin kept interfering. Even her betrothed barely paid her any attention.

Being forced to marry Prince Duan as a concubine in the cousin's place, Hang Ruo had no choice.

But Xiao Yi had no idea what she was going through. He thought she was a woman who coveted power and had willingly debased herself, and treated her terribly.

On their first night together, he got drunk and slept with her, but called out the cousin's name.

Later, he ordered her to clean, treated her like a lowly dancing girl, and made her perform before the powerful. Hang Ruo swallowed every one of these indignities.

But one day, Xiao Yi finally discovered the secret behind her marriage to him, as well as the cousin's true nature.

Only then did he realize that her meek obedience and the deep love in her eyes had all been an act.

She had only been pretending so he would let down his guard, giving her a chance to leave him.

Prince Duan Xiao Yi was aloof toward women, decisive and ruthless. Yet he had passed the age of twenty and still hadn't taken a wife.

What no one knew was that he already had someone in his heart and could make room for no one else. After searching for her for years, he happened upon the jade pendant he had given her.

But she had a lowly status. He had planned to make her a noble concubine first, then marry her as his princess consort when the time was right.

Instead, Hang Ruo had the nerve to take the place of the woman in his heart and become his concubine.

He humiliated her again and again to vent his anger. In the end, he discovered that the woman he had longed for, both in the past and now, had always been her...

He came to his senses, but it was too late.

Hang Ruo ran away in the middle of the night without looking back.

He finally caught up with her, only to see her pull out her hairpin and hold it to her neck. "Xiao Yi, just let me go, all right?"

Seeing the blood on her neck, he swallowed the metallic taste in his throat, his heart twisting in agony. "All right."

But later, she turned around and decided to marry someone else.

On the day of her engagement, he came to see her.

She looked at him coldly. "He knows I was once someone's concubine, but he doesn't care. He respects me and loves me..."

He held out the jade pendant he'd given her long ago, begging her to change her mind, but she remained unmoved and smashed it to pieces.

The once high and mighty Prince Duan now knelt before her, kneeling on the shattered jade. "A Ruo, what will it take for you to forgive me...?"

Notes:

1. Old-school melodrama.

2. The heroine suffers early on; later, the hero chases her in a face-slapping romance.

3. The hero gets proven wrong over and over again.

4. Both leads have no previous romantic or sexual partners.

5. Fictional history. Please don't scrutinize the details.

Reborn: A Chief Councilor's White Moonlight's Guide to Staying Alive. Both leads are reborn; powerful official.

When Song Yanyu opened her eyes, she was back on the day she married at seventeen.

But inside the little red bridal sedan, she remembered her previous life. Not long after she married into the Wang family, her husband had hurriedly taken her cousin as a concubine.

The cousin was charming and knew how to keep her husband enthralled. He had even cruelly poisoned Song Yanyu and made the cousin his principal wife...

So in her previous life, she had died young.

Determined to escape her tragic fate, she acted at once, leaping out of the sedan and running off as everyone stared in shock.

In her panic, she collided with a carriage.

The guards flanking it roughly shoved her aside.

She turned pale with fright and didn't know what to do. Just then, the rest of the wedding party caught up with her.

Seeing his own bride had offended a noble, her husband stood frozen in place, too afraid to move.

As everyone faced off in tense silence, the person in the carriage lifted the curtain, stepped down, and carried Yanyu back inside.

At the sight, the faces of everyone around them turned even paler...

Everyone said that Lord Xie Zhiwei was so powerful that he'd become moody and ruthless, and that he hated women who threw themselves at him most of all.

But in the luxurious carriage, where no one else could see, the man's eyes were dark as ink as he asked softly, "Did you hurt yourself when you fell?"

Yanyu stared blankly at the handsome man who had appeared from nowhere, then slowly nodded a few times.

Later, once Yanyu learned of Xie Zhiwei's reputation and realized she couldn't escape, she had no choice but to play meek, act sweet, and try her hardest to stay alive...

Warnings:

1. The heroine is reborn; she was not a virgin in her previous life.

2. Fictional setting, very loosely based on history. There are original elements, so please don't scrutinize the details.
