[Devoted Loyalist x Sickly Black Lotus]
In her previous life, Shen Shuning spent most of it embroiled in struggles.
In the end, a dagger at her throat. What could be more tragic?
Wintry plum blossoms beneath the snow, ten miles of graves.
A fleeting dream of life, and all things came to an end.
Pei Shixu kept a woman in his heart.
He had seen her high above the world, proud and radiant.
He had also seen her down on her luck, weeping blood at the foot of the steps.
He had always known she would never love him.
That heartless woman had mocked him, used him, and deceived him.
And in the end, she forgot him.
But he had no regrets.
Shen Shuning had no heart, and even after being reborn, she still had none.
The failures of her previous life had taught her one thing:
People were the least reliable things in the world.
If she couldn't hold on to what was hers, she would destroy it.
But there was one person she could never control.
One day, she held a sword to him and demanded,
"Pei Shixu, if I order you to marry me, will you obey or not?"
He was always deliberately trying to provoke her.
"Your Highness, please forget this humble servant."
Reader's Guide: Rebirth story, set in a fictional world. A hodgepodge of personal worldbuilding, so don't overanalyze it.
The heroine is a powerful princess with many male companions and an unapologetically bold nature. The hero is a refined, scholarly young master from an illustrious family, and her opponent. A tale of love and the pursuit of power, and the choices they bring. A few stories of pursuing love. An important supporting character is also reborn.
Inspired by a dream I had one night: a young general stood atop a high city wall, gazing up at the moon as if watching the woman he loved but could never have. For her freedom, he kept watch at the border.
The blurb has been screenshotted, and the timeline is clear. Please don't bother me.
Theme: Love and loyalty are priceless.
