After Being Reborn Again and Again, the Male Lead Broke Down

My next novel, "After Being Presented to a High Official," is now underway.

At the spring banquet at the Marquis of Cheng'an's estate, Shen Yan was framed and ended up in bed with His Highness Prince Jin, notorious throughout the capital for his vile reputation.

Everyone said she had seduced Prince Jin. Qi Jingxuan was even more disgusted with her, declaring that he'd sooner shave his head and become a monk than marry her.

In a single day, Shen Yan became a laughingstock in the capital. Everyone mocked her for failing to become the Princess of Jin and not even managing to secure the position of a concubine.

Shen Yan tried desperately to defend herself, but no one would listen. Her family was implicated because of her and had to leave the capital. In the end, they died in a natural disaster.

When she opened her eyes again, she found herself back on the day of the spring banquet, lying beside Qi Jingxuan. Voices were already coming from outside the courtyard, and there was no chance to escape.

In despair, Shen Yan decided to take her own life, thinking that at least she could die with her reputation intact and spare her family the consequences.

But Qi Jingxuan sprang up beside her and snatched away the hairpin she was about to plunge into her neck, then dropped to his knees with a thump.

Qi Jingxuan was framed at the Marquis of Cheng'an's estate and ended up in bed with Shen Yan, a girl from a humble family.

He assumed that the woman beside him had set him up and was about to lash out, when she suddenly pulled the hairpin from her hair without hesitation and stabbed herself in the neck. Blood sprayed all over his face.

Everyone said he was incorrigible and had forced an innocent woman into prostitution. No one would listen to his many attempts to explain. In the end, he was demoted to prince of a commandery, sent away from the capital, and died in an assassination.

When he opened his eyes again, he was back on that same day. He snatched the hairpin from Shen Yan, thinking that would take care of everything.

But the moment he let his attention wander, Shen Yan smashed her head against the bedpost.

He returned to that day again. Shen Yan broke a teacup and slit her throat with a shard.

Another time, Shen Yan struck her head against the corner of a table.

Seven times in a row, even when Qi Jingxuan stopped her in the moment, she still found a way to take her own life afterward.

Whenever she killed herself, Qi Jingxuan ended up following the same path as before.

On the eighth time, Qi Jingxuan was at his wits' end. After taking the hairpin from her, he dropped to his knees with a thump. "I beg you, my lady! Please stay alive!"

Shen Yan jumped in fright and shrank back. "Y-You get up first."

Qi Jingxuan wept bitterly. "I won't get up unless you promise!"

*A silly, sweet romance. The heroine remembers only her first life and her current one, while the hero has no memories of his first life.

*The hero isn't some lofty, noble figure. He's unruly, foul-mouthed, and shameless, and he'll get what's coming to him.
