Blurb:
In her previous life, Su Lingyi was deceived by the Second Prince. After helping him ascend the throne, she was discarded once she had outlived her usefulness.
Reborn, she decides to approach Prince Jing, who once rivaled the Second Prince, in order to protect her family. At the moment, he's still the pitiful Sixth Prince. She gives him clothes and food, deals with the people who bully him, and even tirelessly praises him in front of her uncle, the emperor.
Under Su Lingyi's relentless efforts, the Sixth Prince gradually warms to her. Even his usually cold, sinister face begins to show a gentle smile.
Su Lingyi thinks she's secured the support of this powerful ally, so she starts looking for a husband.
The chancellor's son is gentle and refined, while the heir to Prince Duan's estate is brave and skilled in battle... Just as she's struggling to choose, someone suddenly blocks her view.
The Sixth Prince, now invested as crown prince, is heroic and imposing, his expression stern. Yet his voice is strangely aggrieved as he says, "You already have me. Why are you looking at other men?"
Su Lingyi: ???

The Sixth Prince's mother was a lowborn dancer who died in childbirth.
As a result, he struggles to get by in the palace, and the only kindness he has ever known is what Su Lingyi had left over after giving it to the Second Prince.
Even so, the Sixth Prince treasures it deeply.
He thinks he will keep quietly watching over Su Lingyi, seeing her marry and have children, and live a happy life.
But after rescuing her from danger, he never expected her to follow him around, sweetly calling him cousin.
The Sixth Prince thinks Su Lingyi is trying to get back at the Second Prince this way. He tries his hardest to suppress his feelings, but before he knows it, he has fallen for her.
She was the one who started this, so she can't blame him for refusing to let go.
