Reborn: Treading the Crown Prince's Scales Again and Again

Shen Huiran was the only daughter of a wealthy family, raised in comfort from childhood. Later, she rescued a handsome man named Rong Xu in the countryside and brought him home to recover from his injuries. Unexpectedly, he saw her unclothed.

Her parents saw that the young man was noble in bearing and exceptionally handsome, so they decided to marry Shen Huiran to him.

But the man was only grateful for Shen Huiran's kindness. He had no feelings for her and rarely spoke to her, leaving her heart bitter.

Later, she learned that Rong Xu was the crown prince, driven into the countryside after the Third Prince plotted against him. Once Rong Xu had recovered, she accompanied him to the Eastern Palace, where she was given the title of Liangdi.

She considered her background lowly, so she kept her true nature in check in the Eastern Palace and was careful not to offend anyone, even the senior palace women. The maids often stole her belongings, but she stayed silent, hoping to avoid trouble.

Rong Xu was busy with government affairs and did not set foot in Li Palace for six months. At last, she learned what it meant to wait from dusk until dawn.

She wondered: If she had never rescued Rong Xu, would she and her husband have lived together in harmony until old age?

Later, Rong Xu got drunk and spent the night with her. At last, she became pregnant. Rong Xu also began visiting her palace more often, and her spirits grew brighter. She devoted herself to caring for the child each day as she awaited the birth.

Then Princess Huailin unexpectedly lost her husband. Dressed in white, she knelt before Rong Xu and pleaded pitifully, "Brother Rong Xu, my husband's family says I bring death to my husbands, and they keep bullying me. I truly can't stay there any longer.

"Please, for the sake of our childhood friendship, take me in at the Eastern Palace."

Rong Xu gazed at her for a long while, then said calmly, "Since you're here, stay in Ying Palace for now. That's where you lived as a child."

After that, for some reason, Rong Xu never set foot in Li Palace again.

And after Shen Huiran smelled the incense Princess Huailin had sent her, she unexpectedly miscarried.

That day, rain poured down as she knelt humbly outside Rong Xu's study, begging him to investigate. He only furrowed his delicate brows and said coolly, "Huan'er is kind-hearted. How could she harm you? Don't speak of this again."

Shen Huiran gave a bitter smile and returned to her palace in despair.

Later, Princess Linhuai accused Shen Huiran of slandering her and fell into a deep depression, becoming seriously ill. She begged Rong Xu to take her as a secondary consort. After a moment's thought, he said coolly, "If you're willing to fake your death and assume a new identity, then you may."

The night before Rong Xu was to marry Princess Linhuai, Shen Huiran took her own life.

Later, Rong Xu accidentally discovered that Princess Linhuai had added a large amount of musk to the incense she sent Shen Huiran, causing her miscarriage. He was overcome with regret.

"Huiran, I wronged you! Huiran! I've grown used to having you by my side. Don't leave me all alone..."

Shen Huiran was reborn.

She returned to the first year after she had entered the Eastern Palace. In this life, she would no longer be timid and let others bully her.

Rong Xu watched coldly as she boldly punished cruel servants and made friends everywhere, becoming lively and radiant. He found her increasingly hard to understand, but he was busy with government affairs and had no interest in wondering what had changed her.

Later, Shen Huiran said, "Let's divorce."

She wanted to get away from Rong Xu and her misfortune, return home to be with her parents, and marry a good man.

Rong Xu furrowed his delicate brows and, for the first time, studied Shen Huiran seriously. "No."

When Rong Xu refused, she began leaving the palace without permission, eating everywhere and putting the bills on credit, and spying on handsome young men in the imperial city. She repeatedly provoked him and brought shame upon the Eastern Palace.

"Shen! Hui! Ran!"

Rong Xu's temple throbbed violently. At last, he could take no more.

Later, Rong Xu discovered how charming and adorable she was. Shen Huiran discovered that the crown prince was a secretly passionate troublemaker, who told her day and night how much he loved her and begged her to be a well-behaved, pampered consort.

Two years later, Princess Linhuai lost her husband. Her eyes red, she knelt before Rong Xu and was just about to speak when he furrowed his delicate brows and said, "Leave. I won't take you in. I don't want the Crown Princess thinking I'm flirting with other women."
