Sweetheart, Come to Me

Coming next: Back to Our Bitter Youth

Blurb:

Before her wedding, Rong Wan had two dreams about her past life.

In the first, the husband she loved, the Marquis Chengyuan, had only ever treated her as a substitute.

She died of sorrow, and on the day she was buried, he married his true love in a grand ceremony.

The mansion rang with the blare of suona horns, while white funeral banners fluttered bleakly before her grave.

In the second dream, after her death, she saw the Eastern Depot Governor personally take the Marquis Chengyuan's life, having him executed by a thousand cuts.

The scene was terrifying. In a gloomy dungeon, the man seemed like a king of hell.

His eyes were shadowed and unreadable as he murmured, "Jiaojiao."

When she woke, all she wanted was to stay far away from the Marquis Chengyuan. But on the night of the Hundred Flowers Banquet, she stumbled into a man's arms. He merely lifted his eyelids.

"Aren't you afraid of me?"

Facing the bloodthirsty Governor, her delicate body trembled. "N-no, I'm not."

Later, when her family fell into decline, the General's Mansion took it upon themselves to marry her off to Pei Du, the Governor.

Pei Du wielded immense power and was cruel in his methods. Everyone said Rong Wan wouldn't survive three days under his roof.

But no one expected this ruthless, vicious Governor to leave a kiss at the corner of her eye and whisper, "Jiaojiao."

Rong Wan not only survived, but her life grew more comfortable with each passing day.

He had loved her for two lifetimes. Now at last, he had his wish.

Later, the Marquis Chengyuan regretted everything.

He went mad with the need to bring her back, seeing her everywhere he looked.

But his schemes were exposed, and he was sentenced to beheading. He begged to see Rong Wan one last time before he died, only to see Pei Du holding a bowl of lotus seed soup and gently feeding her spoonful by spoonful.

He cried out her name as he died, but she never looked back.
