Xu Yihan and her boyfriend Ji Siyan transmigrate together. On that same day, the young prince of the regent's estate runs out of a back alley, carrying an injured maid in his arms.
"She's an assassin who came to kill His Majesty! Ji Siyan, how dare you!"
A riding crop is raised high, pointing at the young prince's nose. An arrow comes whistling down.
The assassin surnamed Xu is executed. The young prince Ji, who broke into prison to save her, is spared, but within a few months his family is destroyed.
The dream ends.
Who died, and who survived.
Who lied, and who was deceived.
Who forgot, who still loves, and who began to hate.
Back then, Xu Yihan only knew that she was the current emperor's closest junior sister.
Back then, Ji Siyan didn't know that his father was now the greatest traitor in the land.
The dream has finally ended. Breaking into prison and running away: what a fun little joke.
When they meet again, everything has changed.
The young prince, who has endured humiliation and hardship, has taken on a new identity. He says coldly, "Xu Yihan... You're finally alive again."
"But from now on, there is no more Ji Siyan."
His raven-black lashes lower, and his slender fingers, pressing against a lethal pressure point, are icy cold.
Xu Yihan swears to make it up to him, to repay him, even for things she doesn't owe him, and even with things she can't afford. Before he can demand his price, she looks up at his slender neck and the scar stretching up it, and tears fall before she can stop them.
She reaches out and touches it. His skin gives a faint shiver beneath her fingertips.
"Don't cry."
Notes:
1. A lively junior sister, like a Northeast silver-shaded cat, paired with a proud, innocent Siberian wolfdog.
2. The male lead is clever, sweet, and innocent.
3. The two reunite around chapter 16.
4. An old-school wuxia style, really old-school. Maybe it gets a little better later?
5. There is almost no transmigration content.
6. I'll do a major revision when I have time.
