Turns Out I’m the One He Longs For

Arrogant, unrestrained young master of a prominent family x a sweet little dumpling who bites when provoked

-

Before she was reborn, Cheng Xiangling was a dutiful general's wife. For years, she conscientiously played the part of Huo Ting's moonlight stand-in.

The general's residence was peaceful, and she wanted for nothing. Huo Ting didn't love her, but he respected her. Cheng Xiangling had no complaints about this and even thought she could keep up the act for the rest of her life.

But when she opened her eyes again, she had returned to twenty years earlier.

The feudal lords were at war, and fighting raged everywhere.

She was now an orphan. She had just woken up in a pile of corpses when she reached out for help to a passing group of riders.

At their head was a young man born to wealth and privilege, arrogant and domineering.

By sheer coincidence, he had the same face as her husband from her previous life.

The Huo Ting Cheng Xiangling knew was steady, calm, and composed.

On the battlefield, he was a god of slaughter who never lost, ruthless in combat and cold-blooded toward his enemies. Only in bed did she ever get a rare glimpse of his tenderness.

Cheng Xiangling thought that was simply his nature, until she met Huo Ting as a boy

At fifteen or sixteen, Huo Ting was willful and unruly, bold and carefree, a spoiled young master who could fly into a rage at the slightest provocation.

Even when he rescued someone, he was so unpleasant that he was impossible to like.

As it happened, Cheng Xiangling had no interest in being a stand-in anymore. She decided to work like a horse to repay him, and get a look at the moonlight he couldn't forget.

But she waited and waited, and the moonlight never appeared.

Instead, little Master Huo's gaze grew stranger and stranger whenever he looked at her.

Cheng Xiangling: "..."

Could it be that I was his moonlight all along?
