Gu Jiaojiao was the only princess. Petite and lovely, with delicate, sparkling features, she was deeply favored by the emperor.

She had fallen for the top scholar of the Pei family ever since she was thirteen, when he picked up her hairpin for her. From then on, she sent him flowers, charms, and her whole heart.

But he used her to gain promotions and titles, then turned around and married his childhood sweetheart when she was fifteen.

Heartbroken and furious, Gu Jiaojiao went to a tavern to drink herself into oblivion. There, she ran into Shen Shiji, with whom she had always been at odds.

He was powerful and aloof, and had submitted memorials impeaching Pei Yuanzhi more than once, mocking her for being a poor judge of character.

She had only met him a handful of times, and each meeting had ended badly because of Pei Yuanzhi.

Now he stood before her in flowing white robes, holding her wrist and pressing down the hand clutching her wine cup. The candlelight flickered, its glow tracing the contours of his handsome face.

He had once said, "This humble official will always remain by the princess's side."

Now he said, "I have admired the princess for a long time. Would you please look at me?"

The wine rose to her head. Gu Jiaojiao gazed at him, lost in thought, and the taut string in her heart suddenly snapped.

The next day, a marriage contract was announced to the world. Shen Shiji was appointed her consort, shocking the capital.

Everyone assumed the emperor had arranged the marriage, never imagining that Shen Shiji had sought it himself.

Beneath the vast night sky, you are my one and only bright moon. Even in my dreams, I wish to have you.

Shen Shiji was the legitimate son of the declining Shen family. His mother died of illness when he was nine, and a concubine took her place. He was treated with cold indifference and bullied by his older brother.

One day, dressed in shabby clothes, he crouched by the roadside, unwilling to return home. A little girl, as pretty as a porcelain doll and dressed in fine silks, timidly approached him.

She said, "Don't be sad. Would you like me to give you some candy?"

One glance, and a love that lasted a lifetime. She had only given him a piece of candy, but he thought of her for years.

From then on, a bright moon dwelled in his heart, and her name was Jiaojiao.

*

Jiang Muyao was beautiful and graceful, with skin as fair as snow. She was chosen to be the heir apparent's consort.

Yet she was used as the medicinal ingredient needed by the heir apparent's beloved, and died on the night of her wedding, on her nineteenth birthday. No one knew she was covered in blood.

Five years later, her adopted younger brother, Jiang Jingyan, personally killed the heir apparent to bring her peace in the afterlife.

*

When she opened her eyes again, Jiang Muyao had returned to three months before her nineteenth birthday. Her adopted younger brother, Jiang Jingyan, had just come home after spending his youth recuperating in the mountains.

The eighteen-year-old stood tall as a pine before the mansion gates, his ink-black sleeves fluttering like those of an immortal.

Before she could reach him, he ran to her and pulled her into his arms, his voice trembling as he said, "Sister, it's been so long."

Jiang Muyao's eyes reddened, and she nearly burst into tears.

*

Though she tried every way she could to avoid the heir apparent, she still ran into him at the Hundred Flowers Banquet.

After he set a trap for her, Jiang Muyao was poisoned. She escaped halfway there and, barely conscious, went to find her younger brother to save her.

In her panic, she pushed open his door. Her face flushed, a sheen of sweat dampening her clothes, she looked at him with shining, watery eyes, unable to voice her plea.

Unexpectedly, her usually composed and distant younger brother came toward her of his own accord. Their fingers intertwined, their foreheads pressed together.

The night was deep, their breaths mingling. With a bewitching look in his eyes, he coaxed her almost tenderly: "Sister, beg me."

*

The crown prince, missing for many years, was found. Jiang Jingyan changed his surname to Li and chose his adoptive elder sister as his crown princess, causing an uproar in the capital.

To protect her younger brother's reputation, Jiang Muyao fled the crown prince's residence. There, she came upon the heir apparent, unconscious.

When she woke, she saw her adopted younger brother, his expression dark, severing the heir apparent's tendons with his hands stained crimson.

Then he imprisoned her on the bed. As she struggled, Li Jingyan sighed softly, hurt spreading across his cool, refined features.

"I told you not to leave me." He affectionately brushed his lips against the side of her neck and murmured, "Sister, you've been naughty."

How could I let myself lose you a second time?

Notes:

1. Both leads are reborn; both are devoted only to each other; happy ending.

2. The male lead is obsessive. He turned dark in their previous lives and nearly did so in this life.

3. That's all for now. I'll add more if I think of anything.

Theme: Stay true to your original aspirations, and you will reach the end.
