After Flirting with the Wrong Person, She Got Burned [Reborn]

[Preorder: the forceful-takeover story "Obsessively Claiming Her" and the run-away-while-pregnant story "Deceived by Spring"!]

[Beautiful, proud black lotus x aloof, repressed beauty] Both are reborn

Liu Yanying, a maid at the Prince's Manor, was peerlessly beautiful. With just a crook of her finger, she could make the heir apparent kneel down and be her horse.

Unexpectedly, the border was in crisis, and the heir apparent died on the battlefield. With her powerful protector gone and too many enemies, Liu Yanying soon lost her life.

After being reborn, she decided to bet on a man with a long life ahead of him: the third son of the Lu family, Lu Jingyan.

He was composed and self-disciplined, as cool as frost. In his previous life, he had led the army to turn the tide of defeat and become the rightful heir to the manor.

Liu Yanying tried every trick to get close to him, but he was as unmoved as a corpse.

One day, at her wit's end, she seized his hand when they were alone and pressed it to her chest, claiming her heart hurt.

To her surprise, he grew angry. "Did you try to seduce the heir apparent this way in your previous life, too?"

Liu Yanying was astonished. "If I'd known you were another short-lived ghost who came back to life, I wouldn't have wasted my time on you. What rotten luck!"

As it turned out, her words were too harsh, and before long she had to deal with the consequences...

Lu Jingyan looked down on Liu Yanying, a woman with nothing but a pretty face and ambitions that reached the heavens. Yet in his youth, he once had an erotic dream about her.

In this life, she had unexpectedly come after him, only to go right back to her old ways and try to abandon him for a new target.

He thought... it was time to teach her a lesson.

Reader's guide:

* Both are reborn, both remain virgins in both lives, happy ending

* The woman pursues the man; after his secret is revealed, the man pursues the woman

[Innocent, flirtatious young mistress x vile, scheming fox of a man]

Fang Qin was born into an eminent family with so many relatives that she was the same age as her own grandchildren.

When she was sixteen, her nephew's wife brought home a handsome but impoverished scholar, saying she had adopted him as a godson. His name was Cao Yu.

He was a newly appointed jinshi, a young phoenix with a clear voice and a fine appearance. He could endure what others could not, becoming the son of someone only a few years older than himself and calling this young girl his Ancestor.

Everyone knew Cao Yu was filial, but they didn't know he would not only serve tea to his young Ancestor, but also do her makeup and put on her shoes and socks.

In front of everyone, she innocently praised him as a well-behaved grandson. Cao Yu replied with a faint smile, but only Fang Qin saw the heartless, disloyal glint in his foxlike eyes.

Her wedding to the man she loved was fast approaching. Fang Qin was beaming with joy when terrible news arrived. In a single night, her old life died as though it had been yesterday, and the past was gone beyond recall.

Down on her luck, she saw those sly, foxlike eyes again and slapped him across the face. "Unworthy descendant! You fame-hungry, profit-seeking dog!"

Cao Yu sat calmly in the main hall. He rubbed the blood from his lip with his thumb, just as he had once wiped the rouge from her lips, then put his thumb in his mouth and licked it clean.

"My surname is Cao. I am a descendant of the Cao family. From now on, I'm also your childhood sweetheart and cousin, and your future husband."

"You call me a dog... Fine. Then let's be a pair of dogs together."

Cao Yu didn't want anyone else to remember him as a groveling sycophant, bowing and scraping.

If it was Fang Qin, though, he wanted her to remember him for the rest of her life.
