Yearning for Yuan

[Both Reborn]

A sweet, timid, silly little kitten x a reserved, abstinent, secretly passionate big bad wolf

-

Wen Yuan was born unlucky.

So unlucky that even Heaven couldn't bear to watch, and gave her a chance to start over.

She returned to the year she was eighteen.

At that time, Xiao Si'an, the prince of a different surname, had returned victorious.

Everyone said he had killed his father and seized the throne, with a heart as cold as stone.

But this man would become emperor in the future.

He could help Wen Yuan rewrite her tragic fate.

Unfortunately, Wen Yuan's methods were clumsy, and her plan backfired.

The moon shone bright, with only a few stars in the sky.

The young woman gazed at him tenderly, like a startled kitten.

The man bent down toward her, his face cool and his voice hoarse.

"Yuanyuan, I heard you're getting married?"

Though he was smiling, he looked terrifying, as if Wen Yuan had provoked him a thousand times over.

Wen Yuan stared at the man's frightening expression.

She swallowed nervously, then ran away in fright.

Xiao Si'an was left alone in the cold night wind.

The night was dark as ink, and the man's smile was sinister.

He thought Wen Yuan had made up her mind to marry the prime minister's legitimate son.

Months later, trouble arose for Wen Yuan's mother's family.

She was once again forced to marry the heartless man from the prime minister's household.

But this time, something seemed different.

Beneath the embroidered veil, the young woman's face was full of fear.

The man leaned over her, his fingertips gently brushing her red lips as he sighed:

"Yuanyuan."

The candlelight was dim, and Wen Yuan couldn't see Xiao Si'an's reddened eyes.

Nor could she make out the love in his gaze, restrained across two lifetimes.

-

Wen Yuan was timid by nature, and often thought of herself as a wild weed wearing a pearl crown.

Gilded on the outside, rotten within.

She never imagined that

that silent, reserved mountain could be stirred by her into springtime ripples.
