[Take a look at my upcoming novel, After We Could Hear Each Other's Thoughts, QAQ. The blurb is below (*σ??`)σ]
Before her death, Jiang Zhi was the first female Grand Tutor in the history of the Li Dynasty. But after being framed by treacherous villains, she was sentenced to death by a thousand cuts.
When she opened her eyes again, five years had passed, and she had transmigrated into the body of a maid in the Prince Regent's mansion.
This time, Jiang Zhi decided to stay far away from court and live the free life she had always wanted.
*
In her previous life, Jiang Zhi had once found a young boy in the snow.
The boy had been gentle and well-behaved, and loved to cling to her.
After she was reborn, the boy had become a ruthless, vicious Prince Regent, decisive in killing, and utterly unlike the person she remembered.
The boy had once been full of ambition, but now he was confined to a wheelchair.
Xie Ningchuan had a leg condition to begin with. Five years ago, he had gathered evidence everywhere to prove her innocence and decisively killed the villain who had framed her.
His condition worsened as a result, and he had no choice but to rely on a wheelchair.
Jiang Zhi felt a jumble of emotions, but she was no longer the person she had been in her previous life. She had no intention of admitting who she was to Xie Ningchuan.
On the day she rode out of Shengjing, chaos reigned outside the Prince Regent's mansion. Everyone said the Prince Regent was unlikely to survive this time.
Jiang Zhi panicked, tightened the reins, and raced toward the mansion.
The man lay in bed, his breathing weak. He gently tugged at the hem of her clothes, the corners of his eyes red, and smiled bitterly. "Jiang Zhi,
don't leave me again, all right?"
*
After Jiang Zhi died, Xie Ningchuan's world collapsed. The feelings he'd hidden deep in his heart could no longer be concealed.
Like a man possessed, he summoned one Taoist after another, trying to call her spirit back to her body. He would even have offered his own heart's blood.
Night after night, he fell asleep holding Jiang Zhi's corpse, unaware that he was losing his mind as he murmured her name over and over.
Perhaps Heaven heard his prayers, because he saw her again in another person's body.
He held back the joy of having her returned to him and approached her little by little.
This time, he wouldn't let go.
#MutualSalvation#TheLongRoadToWinningHerBack#
P.S. Death by a thousand cuts makes the victim suffer before dying. Once dead, the torture stops, so there is a corpse. The later plot will explain whether the body is intact. Don't scrutinize the details.

Blurb for After We Could Hear Each Other's Thoughts:
Song Jin is the daughter of a merchant in Qingzhou. Raised in comfort and well-educated, she's renowned for her beauty and grace. She's also engaged to the Seventh Prince, earning the envy of everyone.
Who could have guessed that the city would fall and her family be destroyed? The Seventh Prince personally shot her dead atop the city wall. Even after death, her spirit could not rest. She watched helplessly as the Seventh Prince seized her family's fortune, used the Song family's money to climb the ranks, then embraced a beauty and secured the throne.
And her body lay beneath the cold city wall, with no one to claim it.
Song Jin stood beside her corpse, heartbroken and helpless, with no way to vent her fury.
As torrential rain poured down, someone stopped before her with an umbrella. He tilted it toward her, shielding her from some of the rain, but she couldn't make out his face. She only heard him say, calmly,
"What a poor thing... Give her a proper burial."
The only person to bury her was a complete stranger.
Song Jin silently memorized his name: Marquis of Quling, Cui Huaiji.
*
When she opened her eyes again, she was back on the road to pray for the Seventh Prince. Bandits attacked, and she accidentally tumbled down a slope, where she stumbled upon Cui Huaiji killing someone with his sword.
Beneath the moonlight, the beauty mark at the corner of his eye was alluring, and a gentle smile played on his lips. He looked just like a handsome god of death from the Underworld.
Song Jin recognized him at once as the benefactor who had buried her.
Cui Huaiji spotted her in the corner. His smile turned sinister as he slowly approached. "Hmm? I've caught a little mouse."
Song Jin's excitement vanished, and she was terrified.
"Please... don't kill me..."
In her panic, she suddenly heard a delighted voice.
'Oh, what a pretty girl. I'll scare her for fun.'
Song Jin: ???
*
Cui Huaiji is mercurial, willful, and smiles while killing people. He's not someone to trifle with, yet he has a fondness for raising cats.
By chance, he met a girl in Qingzhou. She was timid and weepy, so delicate she reminded him of his cat. Most interesting of all, he discovered that he could hear her thoughts.
The moment he laid eyes on her, he wanted to keep her locked away.
Later, he learned that she was the Seventh Prince's fiancée.
So what? She was only his fiancée.
He coaxed and enticed her until he finally brought her back to Sheng'an, only to discover that plenty of people had their eyes on his little cat...
[A little scene]
One day, Song Jin found a rare white cat with blue eyes, hoping to win his favor.
She eagerly approached him, only to be mocked. The next moment, she heard his thoughts.
'Hmm, feels nice. Maybe I'll let her climb into my good graces.'
Song Jin was instantly annoyed.
'You don't like it? You were practically glued to it! No wonder you'll be dead in two years!'
Cui Huaiji narrowed his eyes and said menacingly, "Say that again!"
