Reborn and Remarried to My Childhood Sweetheart, the Emperor

In her previous life, Miaomiao was hopelessly in love with Xie Yujin, who had come to her kingdom as a hostage. She gave everything she had just to marry him.

After three years of marriage, Xie Yujin was utterly cold toward her. Worse still, when he returned to his kingdom, he didn't take her with him.

When they met again, she was gravely ill, while Xie Yujin had ascended the throne and led an army to attack her kingdom.

They said she had long since become a discarded wife, and that Xie Yujin had a beloved white moonlight whom he was about to marry and make empress.

Miaomiao smiled as she swallowed her last breath, then weakly let go of the hand of her childhood friend beside the bed.

She thought that if she had another life, she would never love Xie Yujin again.

Every regret Xie Yujin had in his previous life was tied to Miaomiao.

He hadn't taken her home with him. He hadn't told her... that he had loved her all along.

He'd been too arrogant, thinking he had everything under control. What awaited him was Miaomiao's cold tombstone.

Reborn, Xie Yujin decided to take the initiative.

He got ready early and waited beneath a tree, holding a lantern he'd prepared for Miaomiao, waiting for her to offer him the little rabbit lantern.

Once he accepted it, they could exchange lanterns, giving him a perfect excuse to take her out to see the festival lanterns and make up for the regret of his previous life.

And then...

He watched helplessly as she ran toward Duan Guxing.

The girl's face lit up with a smile, while the boy held the little rabbit lantern that should have been his and reached out to take her hand.

In that moment, Xie Yujin clearly felt what it meant to have his heart torn apart and his bones seared with pain.

No one knew the dark and despicable thoughts Duan Guxing harbored for his childhood sweetheart.

He wanted to possess her, to make sure she could only smile at him.

He knew she wouldn't like that, so he hid his feelings perfectly, staying by her side for more than ten years. In the end...

he watched her marry someone else and die young.

Reborn, Duan Guxing glanced coldly at Xie Yujin in the distance, then lowered his eyes to Miaomiao, standing in front of him with a lantern.

He knew that Miaomiao would soon run off without looking back, delightedly handing her lantern to Xie Yujin.

Duan Guxing pressed his lips together, expressionless as he thought: It's fine. It's only a lantern. Think of it as a gift for Xie Yujin.

Miaomiao will be mine in the future, and I won't let her go again.

But then...

Someone suddenly poked his arm and put a lantern in his hand.

His childhood sweetheart gazed up at him, eyes shining, and smiled. "Xingxing, you promised to take me out!"
