Original title: Waiting for an Old Friend to Turn Her Heart
*The first volume is full of angst and push-pull; in the second, he pursues her and takes her by force.
In her previous life, Mu Xi disguised herself as a man and went to the capital. She gave her heart to the wrong person and ended up a nameless pawn, dying young in the flower of her youth.
Who could have known that when she opened her eyes again, she would be back at the time she first met Jing Yizhi?
She played along, staying by his side to see what kind of person he really was.
But the prince who had been bedridden with illness in her previous life kept coming over to her every day, brazenly declaring, "Seventeen, I'll keep you safe."
The more Mu Xi thought about it, the stranger it seemed.
That day in the twelfth lunar month, the sky was shrouded in gloom, with no snow in sight. In the biting wind, Jing Yizhi shielded her and caught an arrow shot from the woods with his bare hand.
Only then did Mu Xi finally see through his disguise.
She left behind a few words: "Our fated bond ended in my past life."
But his eyes truly did turn red.
Later, during the battle in the Northern Border, Jing Yizhi commanded the entire army. A decisive and ruthless war prince, he still stood in front of her.
A sharp arrow pierced his shoulder, and the acrid smell of blood filled the air between them. He lowered his head and spoke with difficulty. "Xi'er, please look at me one more time."
Later still, the war prince's army returned victorious, but took a detour. At daybreak, tens of thousands of armored cavalry filled the sky with banners and surrounded the city.
Mu Xi stood in red, a cloak over her shoulders. She had been waiting for her childhood sweetheart, but the one who arrived was the war prince in silver armor.
He entered the bridal chamber with a sword in hand and walked slowly toward her, each step seeming to fall upon her heart.
His dark eyes were bloodshot. Fingers covered in thin calluses traced her features, one by one. "Mu Xi, how could you? How could you marry someone else?"
Reader's note:
1. The story starts slowly, with memories of her past life. One-on-one romance, happy ending, four-year age gap.
2. Three characters are reborn from the start. The heroine was not killed by the hero in her previous life; there is a misunderstanding. The second volume will include dreams of her past life, and the plot serves the romance.
3. Set in a fictional world, so please don't nitpick historical accuracy.
4. I'm a new writer, so please be gentle. (Fist bump)

@LingChuanyeV: A misunderstanding.
She thought it was all over.
Qiao Yu returns to China and is invited to join a variety show, but Ling Chuanye turns up as a special guest.

"First love."
When it is Qiao Yu's turn, she openly admits that she once had a first love buried deep in her heart: sunny and handsome, gentle and considerate...
No one would connect that description to the aloof, roguishly handsome actor he is today.
When Ling Chuanye is asked, he casually glances at the woman sitting across from him and smiles faintly.
"I'm pursuing my first love."

In her senior year of high school, Qiao Yu arrives in an unfamiliar city and enters an unfamiliar classroom. Since she barely speaks, her classmates call her "Little Mute."

He knows she can speak, and that her voice is lovely.
The summer of her first year of college, Qiao Yu walks into the misty rain under an umbrella. What comes to her is not Ling Chuanye, but a paper airplane flying through the rain.
She doesn't know that in the pouring rain, he waited a long, long time, folding paper airplane after paper airplane and writing down all the things he wanted to say.

Historical romance Scheming Feast
Beautiful, strong, tragic, unhinged regent prince x ambitious beauty pretending to be a well-behaved girl
Raising her / taking her by force / pursuing her after losing her
Yun Sheng fell. Jiang Xiwan, a young princess from a collateral branch of the Yun Sheng royal family, avoided the calamity of her entire clan being executed, but was exiled with her family to a bitterly cold land. She was ten that year.
Two years later, Tian Qi welcomed its first prince, and a general amnesty was declared. She was included in the pardon and returned to Xijing.
That day, the dark sky seemed to split open, and rain poured down like a waterfall. A girl in tattered coarse clothes curled up beneath an arched bridge.
A pair of gold-woven shoes approached slowly. "Want to come with me?"
The man looked down at her. Jiang Xiwan lifted her eyes and gradually made out his face through the rain: handsome, yet dangerous.
"All right. I'll go with you..."
Everyone knew that Tian Qi owed its present standing to the regent prince, a ruthless man who could plan ten moves ahead. He was only twenty, yet held power over the entire court.
One day, he picked up a little white rabbit and raised her at home, telling everyone she was his younger sister.
After her coming-of-age ceremony, officials at court, eager to curry favor with his power, nearly wore out the threshold of the Prince Regent's residence with marriage proposals.
"I don't understand court affairs, Brother. I'll leave this entirely up to you." Jiang Xiwan handed over every invitation, sweet and timid.
"There's no need to rush. You're still young, Xi'er..."
For the next three years, proposals kept coming, and Jiang Xiwan dutifully presented every one to Xiao Jinyan.
Until one day, she said, "Xi'er is already eighteen, Brother. Shouldn't you find her a husband?"
Xiao Jinyan's gaze darkened, and he spoke in a low voice. "What kind of husband do you want, Xi'er?"
Jiang Xiwan smiled. "Someone well-read and courteous, from a respectable family, preferably someone who can't fight. As for his looks, it's enough if he's not too ugly."
Everything she described was the opposite of the man standing before her.
From that day on, Xiao Jinyan suddenly changed.
Xiao Jinyan, the regent prince, was born into a noble family. He rode fine horses in fine clothes, yet was ruthless and cruel. Everyone both respected and feared him.
Everyone except her.
Her little, fair hand held his bloodstained palm as she gently wiped it with a handkerchief. There wasn't a flicker in her dark eyes. From that day on, he knew she was different from everyone else.
Only later did he realize just how different she was. He had thought she wanted his heart, but then discovered she wanted more than that.
One-on-one romance, both leads have had no previous partners, happy ending
Theme: Don't regret the past; face the future with hope
