After the Black Moonlight Was Reborn and Gave Up

| Rivals who fight in public and in bed, and whoever gives in first is a coward |

Yan Zhaolan's family was massacred when she was young. After enduring eighteen years, she finally got her revenge, then declared:

I'm exhausted. Time to delete my account for good.

But when she opened her eyes, she was back on the day she had first arrived in Jingzhou, when Chancellor Xie had adopted her as his sworn daughter.

: ) Great. All seven of those grueling years were for nothing.

I'm done trying. Let the world burn.

Xie Jingbai had gone south to travel and study at sixteen. In his third year, a letter from home called him back: his grandfather had, for the first time, adopted a sworn daughter.

He hurried back to Jingzhou, and the next day finally met his new aunt at a banquet. She was only three years older than him, with willow-leaf brows, affectionate eyes, fair skin, and striking beauty. She carried herself with easy grace.

When she smiled, a pair of shallow dimples appeared.

Who could have guessed that this gentle beauty, so radiant and harmless in appearance, would pursue him across three entire cities?

Someone with a mysterious background and dubious intentions couldn't be allowed to stay.

Later...

“Xie Jingbai, you bastard!”

Yan Zhaolan was pinned beneath the brocade quilt, furious and mortified. “You dare use me as an antidote? I'll kill you one day, you wretch!”

The young man lowered his head to the nape of her neck, breathing in her faint, enticing fragrance. He chuckled softly. “You brought this on yourself, Auntie. Now you have to bear the consequences.”

--The heroine is reborn. The hero isn't, but occasionally has precognitive dreams.
