Blurb: [Delicate orphan girl x scheming young lord] (possessive pursuit / rivalry among suitors)
Caught by a sudden spring rain and stranded at Chang'en Temple, Xie Ning met Shen Xing.
At the time, he was dressed in white, with striking features like a painting. With a gentle expression, he offered her the oil-paper umbrella he had been holding for a long while.
One glance was enough to make Xie Ning lose her heart.
No one knew how they had leaned on each other and shared their innermost thoughts during those lonely spring nights.
When their feelings grew intense, she knew she was engaged to someone else, yet she still loved him openly, passionately, and without reservation.
But just after she had given him her whole heart, Shen Xing disappeared.
When they met again, he already had a beautiful companion by his side. She, too, was about to become a bride.
When their eyes met, his gaze was cool, and hers was distant.
They both acted perfectly calm, as though they had never known each other.
She thought there would be no more ties between them for the rest of their lives, but on the night before her wedding, he broke into her room and kidnapped her.
In a villa outside the capital, she became a caged songbird kept by Shen Xing, with not a shred of freedom left.
The Shen family suffered a devastating calamity over a nonexistent crime.
Young Shen Xing grew up burdened by a blood feud. Revenge was the only reason he had to live.
Getting close to Xie Ning was just one part of his revenge plan.
But he never expected that he would genuinely fall for his pawn.
When they met again, his expression was indifferent. He was afraid Xie Ning would cling to him.
But he never expected her gaze to be calm and composed, as if she had never known him.
Later, with her wedding approaching, he could no longer suppress his feelings and imprisoned her in a quiet courtyard hidden from the world.
Only when the flames blazed around them did he finally see his own heart.
He had already lost completely in that spring rain when they first met.

Reader's Guide:
1. The male lead is dangerously obsessive. At first, he gently coaxes her; in the middle, he takes her by force; later, he begs for her love on his knees. A groveling redemption arc. He has moral flaws, but there are reasons behind everything.
2. The female lead is initially naive and fragile, with her head in the clouds over love. Later, she becomes clear-headed and rational, without being melodramatic.
3. The story has many romantic entanglements. Neither the leads nor the supporting characters are perfect.
4. Includes political intrigue and revenge. Not a tragedy, happy ending.
Upcoming novel "After Breaking Off the Engagement" blurb:
Yan Ning is beautiful, graceful, and refined. She is the fiancée the emperor chose for the Crown Prince.
The Crown Prince is handsome and elegant, as gentle as jade, and they have been childhood friends.
Yan Ning eagerly awaits their wedding, looking forward to a life of sweet love with her sweetheart.
But just as the wedding draws near, the Crown Prince, to whom she has devoted herself, suddenly changes his mind.
In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the Crown Prince kneels without rising, insisting on breaking off the engagement and marrying someone else.
When news reaches the Yan family, Yan Ning's heart jolts, and she faints on the spot.
Word of the broken engagement spreads everywhere. The more pride she once had, the more humiliated she feels now.
For months, Yan Ning is too ashamed to leave the house.
Then, on the eve of the Crown Prince's wedding, Prince Jin, who has been stationed in the northwest, returns to the capital by imperial decree.
At the welcoming banquet, she has only a couple too many drinks before falling into Prince Jin's arms and causing a terrible scandal.
After a night together, the unmatched noble Prince Jin proposes to her in front of everyone.
Thinking of his solid, muscular build and then looking at her own frail, delicate frame, Yan Ning can only feel like crying.
Prince Jin, Xiao Yu, has a secret no one knows: he died once and was reborn.
As the late emperor's youngest son, he was learned and exceptionally gifted, but too young to have any chance at the throne.
During the ten years he spent ruling his fief, he kept his head down and never coveted the throne. Yet the emperor always saw him as a grave threat.
In his previous life, he returned to the capital by imperial decree on the eve of the Crown Prince's wedding, but someone set him up. Drunk, he violated the Crown Prince's fiancée.
After the scandal, he was condemned by everyone, and the Yan family girl hanged herself because of him.
His reputation in ruins, he was confined in the imperial mausoleum. In countless lonely nights, he thought again and again of the girl who had died because of him.
Heaven was unjust, and the royal family was heartless. After being reborn, he made careful plans and laid his groundwork early.
He successfully arranged for the Crown Prince to break off his engagement, escaping his own predicament.
But he never expected that, after a palace banquet, Yan Ning would become the one who was set up.
Looking at the girl in his arms, her face flushed, he ultimately held back the hand that wanted to push her away.
Since he owed her in his previous life, he would repay her in this one.
Theme: Follow your heart and cherish the present.
The author is here with pre-accepted babies, and little angels are welcome to adopt them. "After the Engagement Breaks Off (Rebirth)" is a sweet cookie with ancient sayings, a refreshing story about rebirth, and a full sense of destiny. "Wife Seeking" is the same type of rape novel, where the sinister censor VS the tough girl spins a web for love and falls into ruin step by step. There is also a completed article in the column, welcome to play!
After reading it, the writing style still needs to be improved. Many of the descriptions of the characters' expressions are too single. The word I read the most is desolate, and many of the words are not appropriate enough. The plot is okay, but this type of robbing the heroine of her beauty and weakness feels rather ancient.
This plot is a part-time job to fight against the wall. The second male lead is now the same as the male lead and has no identity, how can he seek refuge with the prince? Even if he surrenders, he can still command the people of the palace, and the palace just lets him run around like no one else? The prince didn't even have any surveillance, so the author wrote such an illogical plot just to torture the heroine? The author is two men who do not want to be abused at all. They must write that even if their family is ruined and their power is lost, they can still act violently against the heroine who clearly has the future emperor as her backer.
This is the first time I have opened anti-theft for a serialized article, and I am not very familiar with the rules and operations. I have seen many readers saying that they are reading duplicate content. This may be anti-theft content that appears randomly. I'm sorry for causing you an unpleasant reading experience. I just made some adjustments. Now it's forbidden to buy anti-theft stamps, so you won't buy too much. If there is any other situation, please leave a message and tell me. Please forgive me for any shortcomings.
The two of them have switched identities.
I always have the feeling that Cui Han will be played to death by his brother, his husband, and his wife.
The second male lead is too scary 💔 This kid can't decide his own birth.
It would be better if the story ends with the male lead and the second male lead plotting against the emperor, otherwise the plot would be too witty, but I wouldn't be in the mood to watch it anymore. But regardless of whether it was a ploy or not, the character of King Chu has collapsed. It would be better not to engage in the previous "adopted son" plot. What is the difference between this and the arrest of passerby C?
66666, The heroine watched the second male lead touching the male lead's breath, took out the knife, and inserted the knife again. The operation of the male and female protagonists is really a match. I spent a whole day reading it, but what I wrote afterward was really annoying.
I really can't understand this plot... The heroine is worried that the child will be taken away by the male lead, and she often leaves the child alone in the room. Other protectors are also freeloaders. Did you develop the plots of the previous chapters specifically to create the plot of this chapter? I'm so angry
