A silly little sweet romance written to unwind. The prose and pacing aren't great, so proceed with caution. Kisses! ◎ For you, I'd gladly love this world of spring breezes. [Cheerful, carefree flirt who doesn't realize she's flirting x sharp-tongued, gloomy black lotus] [A sweet, romance-focused story] Ning Qi transmigrates into the niece of the favored consort of Jing, becoming the much-adored Commandery Princess Changning. To return to the real world, she must make the obsessive Fifth Prince fall in love with her. Ning Qi looks at her fine clothes, the deferential and eager gazes of the servants around her, then glances at the Fifth Prince, Song Huaiyan, in the dark corner, dressed in black with a grim, brooding expression. Ning Qi: "..." If she can live in comfort, why would she get tangled up with an unpredictable obsessive? From then on, whenever Ning Qi sees Song Huaiyan in the palace, she takes a detour. She lives a blissful life, with food and clothes brought to her, playing mahjong and teasing the dogs whenever she feels like it. Until the winter of the thirteenth year of Tianqi, when Song Huaiyan is named Crown Prince, moves into the Eastern Palace, and personally chooses his Crown Princess. Before everyone's curious eyes, Song Huaiyan slowly walks up to Ning Qi and smiles, the corners of his lips lifting. "Aqi, be my wife." Ning Qi, who never intended to win him over: "...Huh?" * Song Huaiyan's birth mother is sent to the Cold Palace. He has the title of prince, but has suffered abuse since childhood. The worst of all is the vicious, spoiled Commandery Princess Changning, Ning Qi. She whips him, mocks him, and leaves countless bloody scars on his body. To survive, he fights his way up, pretending to be kind and benevolent until he is finally named Crown Prince. On the day he ascends the throne, he gives a cold smile and imprisons Ning Qi in the Cold Palace for life. * After ascending the throne, Song Huaiyan drops his disguise and commits every evil imaginable, becoming a tyrant. In the end, the people rise up in rebellion, and he drinks poison and dies. When he opens his eyes again, he is back outside the Cold Palace ten years earlier, on the day he first met Ning Qi. Remembering the scars that covered his body and the humiliating words he endured, Song Huaiyan feels rage rising inside him and decides to seize this chance for revenge. Footsteps approach. Song Huaiyan stares coldly at Ning Qi, about to get up and strike, when the girl's sudden shout startles him. Ning Qi: "Look! A plane!" Song Huaiyan: "???" While he stands there stunned, the girl in front of him vanishes as if fleeing for her life. Song Huaiyan, who never even got the chance to move: "..." * Later, Song Huaiyan realizes that the once cruel and spoiled Commandery Princess Changning seems to be getting adorable. #A story of mutual redemption that begins by accident Blurb dated 2023/6/20 1. 1v1, both leads' firsts, happy endings in both the ancient and modern worlds. 2.
