[Old story from 2022, fully revised]
The assassin Xiang Yuebai lay low for three years. The night she obtained evidence that could clear her sect's name, she was hunted down and forced to leap off a cliff.
Fortunately, luck was on her side. A bolt of lightning struck her and sent her back two years.
Reborn, Xiang Yuebai vowed to change the fate of her sect, which had been wiped out in her previous life.
According to what she remembered from her last life, she needed to enter the Imperial Academy to investigate the clues. Xiang Yuebai had a flash of inspiration. Using the excuse that she was "after the young libationer's good looks," she persuaded her master to pay her tuition and send her to study.
Xiang Yuebai rubbed her hands together, ready to get to work.
But... why did this young libationer never sleep, standing on the wall every day to catch her breaking curfew?
Why did he arrange for his guards to protect her in secret?
Why did he even know she was the assassin known as Black Rakshasa?
Most importantly, why did he look at her as if she were a precious treasure he'd lost and found again?
-
When Cen Dao was young, he once saved someone. For the next decade or so, he watched over and protected her from the shadows, and that alone was enough for him.
Until one day, she was chased to the edge of a sheer cliff.
He brought his men to the opposite side, hoping to save her. But he was too late. He watched helplessly as she jumped.
Then a bolt of lightning struck, and Cen Dao was reborn.
Reborn, Cen Dao had meant to keep hiding in the shadows and help his sect avoid the terrible fate of being wiped out. But on the first day of his new life, he received a letter from his master.
The person he had protected in his previous life was going to the Imperial Academy.
...Because she was after his good looks?!
*Sweet-on-the-outside, ruthless-on-the-inside, blunt assassin heroine x cold, aloof male lead who's sweet on the inside and fierce on the outside, with strong mom energy
*Both leads are reborn, happy ending, not a female-lead-centric story
*Set in an imaginary dynasty, but still a typical feudal society
#Two bitter little souls who never had the freedom to choose eventually break free of fate and retire from the martial world

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, I was thinking about Jinjiang not being allowed to underline before, and then I found a comment that was really well written, and this is probably what domestication is. I don't know whether it's good or bad, but I can probably live with it for the rest of my life.
"Guanglu Weili" is a big thorn in the side of the author~ Bizarre
