Unrequited Longing

[The neighboring novel, With You by My Side, is part of the same series and is complete.]

After being reborn, Song Jinan discovered that the Huo family had not yet been slandered, and she still had a chance to repay them for raising her. She left them a letter and went far away.

Later, she eliminated treacherous officials, gathered informants, and studied under a master.

For five whole years, she made her way in a world of tangled alliances and danger, eventually carving out a place for herself.

But by a twist of fate, Huo Wuwang came to her side, and as they spent day after day together, he fell in love with her.

He even wanted to marry her, willing to do anything to keep her by his side!

A clear-headed female lead who always takes revenge x a male lead who is inexperienced at first but grows over time

Reader's Note:

This is a fictional setting. Please don't nitpick the details.

It's not only the male and female leads who are reborn. The male lead is reborn later in the story.

The romance and plot are split thirty-seventy. The plot includes investigations, power struggles, and war, while the romance comes later.

The female lead doesn't even love the male lead by the end.

Happy ending.

Blurb for my next book, With You by My Side (Rebirth)

Everyone in the capital knew that Prince Yi was violent and vicious, and loved to fight violence with violence. No one knew how much blood he had on his hands.

There was a saying in the capital:

You'd be better off offending the King of Hell than Prince Yi.

Yet there was one exception for Prince Yi:

The wife he married after being demoted to a commoner, now Princess Consort of Yi, Yu Niang.

-

One day, Princess Consort Yi suddenly left behind a letter of divorce and ran away.

But before she could leave the capital, she ran into Prince Yi, who had already been waiting to intercept her on the road.

He forcibly dragged her onto his horse. No matter how much she shouted and struggled, she still couldn't escape being taken back by him.

But this time, he wasn't taking her back to Prince Yi's residence. He took her to a remote little courtyard she had never visited before.

-

In the dark of night, candlelight flickered gently. Trapped beneath the red bed curtains, she struggled helplessly, her teeth clenched with rage. Forgetting that the man before her was a prince, Yu Niang called him by name:

"Zhao Fuzhou, you lunatic!"

Darkness roiled in Prince Yi's eyes. He smiled with satisfaction and shamelessly replied:

"Even your insults sound so lovely, Yu Niang. Say it again."

A tough little wildflower who never gives up x a beautiful, tragic, powerful, and lovesick madman

Clear-headed Yu Niang x Zhao Fuzhou, a bad seed

Reader's Note:

1. This is a fictional setting. Please don't nitpick the details.

2. The female lead is reborn, but has no golden finger. She grows over time, is not delicate, and becomes clear-headed later on.

3. Both leads are virgins. Happy ending.

Theme: Only by relying on yourself can you avoid having to live at the mercy of others.
