Xu Jinhuan had recently been hearing her father praise Lord Qin, who was the same age as her elder brother.
She had met Lord Qin once. He was truly handsome, but... the way he looked at her was frightening.
She hadn't been mistaken. Before long, Lord Qin came to ask for her hand in marriage.
A synopsis that opens with the male lead:
In his previous life, the woman he loved was granted by the emperor to the crown prince as his crown princess at a young age. The crown prince didn't care for her at all, and only regretted it when she fell gravely ill and passed away.
As the crown prince's trusted aide, he suddenly pledged himself to another prince not long after the crown princess's death, helping him ascend the throne.
He became the greatest contributor and never married for the rest of his life.
Later, word spread that Chancellor Qin had passed away peacefully in his study, holding a portrait of a woman. Unfortunately, ink had obscured the woman's face, and no one could tell who she was. They could only guess that she might have been the woman Chancellor Qin loved.
When he opened his eyes again, he had returned to a time before any of it had happened. This time, he would stop the tragedy and protect the woman he loved.
For some reason, the young woman avoided him for more than two months.
Then one day, she suddenly blocked his path. Looking straight into his eyes, her bright gaze fixed on him as she asked softly, “My brother said you've been in love with me for ages. I've waited so long. Why haven't you come to ask for my hand?”
He froze, hardly daring to believe it.
