Cherished in His Arms (Both Reborn)

(Willful, spoiled beauty heroine x obsessive, ruthless, tragic beauty-and-strength hero)

Blurb:

As the legitimate daughter of a family of military officers, Yuan Xiao has always gotten whatever she wanted. The only exception is her marriage, which she cannot decide for herself. Prince Yan, Gu Changce, forces the emperor to grant them a marriage decree and takes her home as his bride.

But the man she loves is Prince Jing, the Fourth Prince.

Only when she threatens to kill herself does she force Gu Changce to write a divorce agreement. Just as she is overjoyed at the thought of marrying the man she loves, he takes her life with his own hands.

It turns out that what she thought was undying love was nothing but a scheme.

Reborn after death, she returns to her wedding night with Prince Yan, Gu Changce.

Nothing has happened yet. She vows to make those who hurt her pay, and to build a good life with Prince Yan this time around.

This time, instead of throwing a fit, she pushes the man down onto the bed and asks sweetly, "Your Highness, do you love me?"

He smiles and pulls her into his arms, his voice low and cruel. "Are you trying to curry favor with me for his sake?"

"Fine. Let me see how far you're willing to go."

Gu Changce was born to the imperial family. He was brilliant at both letters and arms, and exceptionally talented. Everyone believed the throne would eventually belong to Prince Yan.

Yet no one expected Gu Changce to care more for a beauty than the empire, hopelessly devoted only to Yuan Xiao, the eldest daughter of the Yuan family. He even forced her to marry him, regardless of her feelings.

After years of entanglement, they were still not meant to be.

Given another life, who says he has to choose between the empire and the woman he loves? He would rather have her hate him for the rest of her life than ever let her leave again.

What he doesn't know is why the young lady has changed her ways and now spends every day acting coy with him.

Gu Changce threatens her fiercely. "Don't even think of taking a single step away from my side."

Yuan Xiao immediately twists her ankle and cries, "Waaah, I can't run away."

Gu Changce says, "Don't even think of looking at another man."

Yuan Xiao kisses him and says, "Your Highness is the most handsome."

He thinks she's putting on an act.

Until one day, he imprisons the man she loves, expecting to see hatred and loathing in her eyes.

Instead, the young woman pulls a dagger from her robes and calmly stabs the man she once loved, then coyly hides in Gu Changce's arms and pouts:

"Husband, my hand is dirty."

"The Amnesiac Heir Won't Leave Me Alone"

Lan Jiaoli, a merchant's daughter, has been well-behaved and cautious since childhood. The boldest thing she has ever done is secretly love Chu Dan, heir to the Duke of Zhenguo.

Chu Dan is nobly born and as refined as jade. He is the dream man of every young lady in the capital, and countless families hope to marry into the Duke of Zhenguo's household. Knowing her own status is too low, Lan Jiaoli doesn't dare dream of marrying the man she loves, keeping her feelings hidden in her heart.

By chance, Chu Dan falls from his horse and remains unconscious for three whole days. Worried sick, Lan Jiaoli sneaks over to visit him, hoping only to catch a glimpse from afar.

Unexpectedly, he catches her peeking. Just as she is about to explain herself, she hears her beloved speak in a gentle voice.

"My dear, I know I was wrong. Please don't bring up divorce again."

What? Lan Jiaoli is stunned.

She later learns that Chu Dan injured his head in the fall and confused a storybook he had once read with his own life, which is why he said something so shocking.

Consumed by her own shameful desire, she does the boldest thing of her life: she plays along and pretends to be Chu Dan's wife.

He calls her his dear, so she calls him her husband.

He kisses her lips, so she kisses him back even more deeply.

He says he will love her forever, and she begins to panic...

But the truth cannot stay hidden forever. Chu Dan regains his memories.

When they meet again, Lan Jiaoli wakes from her beautiful dream. She holds herself back, steps away, and says through her pain, "My lord, I was wrong about what happened before. Let's both forget it..."

Chu Dan grips her wrist, his eyes burning like a flame. "After calling me 'husband' a thousand times, are you saying none of it counted?"
