When I First Met You (Reborn)

Seeking Bookmarks: Historical Romance, "Revenge, Yet Trapped in a Shura Field." Blurb below. An old-school battle-for-the-girl Shura field.

Mad, beautiful, strong, and tragic hostage prince Zhao Langyue x reborn crown princess seeking revenge

At thirteen, she saved Zhao Langyue, a hostage from the State of Su.

At nineteen, she wanted nothing more than to eat his flesh and drink his blood.

Chu Yuanyuan had a childhood sweetheart and a fiancé from a family of equal standing: Jiang Yuhua, the gentle and handsome crown prince of the State of Jiang.

As she waited to marry, all she hoped for was the day she could become Brother Yuhua's wife. Instead, she learned that the capital's gates had fallen and she had nowhere to return to.

It was all because of Zhao Langyue, the hostage who had been lying low for seven years!

Later, Zhao Langyue imprisoned Chu Yuanyuan in a secluded residence. She forced herself to smile and spent every night in his bed.

When she finally escaped, she learned that she had no home left...

Her hopes shattered, she leaped from the city wall. It was New Year's Eve, and fireworks filled the sky, bright as day. People all over the city were celebrating the new year, but her life ended that night...

When she woke again, she had returned to the day she saved Zhao Langyue. She stared at the boy, soaked from head to toe, her hatred surging. Pulling the gold hairpin from her hair, she drove it hard into his chest. His eyes filled with shock. "Why... why would you..."

Sadly, evil men live a thousand years. She swore to herself that this time she would change her fate and kill the man who had ruined her life!

Zhao Tang was very fond of a woman. Yet she looked at him with a hatred that went to the bone, and a crown prince was always by her side.

He had wanted to restrain the feelings stirring inside him, but they gradually took root and blossomed in his heart, until he could no longer resist drawing closer to her.

When he could no longer control himself, he grasped her hand tightly

If he could not forget her, then he would drag her down with him!

Zhao Tang swore he would have his revenge, but he would also have Chu Yuanyuan. He would spend his life protecting her. Even if he had to make enemies of everyone, Chu Yuanyuan had to be his!

"Chu Yuanyuan, you can only marry me."

P.S. 1. Neither the heroine nor the hero is exactly a good person. If that's not your thing, please don't flame me. The hero has reasons for everything he does. He's crazy, but not stupid. He only goes crazy when it comes to Chu Yuanyuan.

2. Happy ending, both leads' first time. There are misunderstandings between them, which the hero will clear up later, and then they'll get together. Please don't curse me out.

3. There will be a little angst while the misunderstanding is unresolved, but the overall tone is serious.

4. Once it starts, there will be a daily update at midnight. 3,000 words per chapter before the paid chapters, and at least that many afterward.

The Murong family, one of Chang'an's four great houses, was wiped out overnight. As time passed, the other three families swallowed up everything that had once belonged to them.

Revenge.

The bloody scenes that haunted her dreams every night reminded her that finding the person behind it all was now her only wish.

She would take back everything that belonged to her.

Word around Chang'an was that the eldest daughter of the Zhongli family was beginning to resemble the Murong family's late great beauty from years ago, except for the ugly birthmark on her face.

After an unexpected drunken incident, she was granted a marriage to Su Chengyun, the famous young general, making countless young ladies in Chang'an green with envy.

Only Zhongli Rong herself felt exasperated. All she wanted was to avenge her family, yet she was constantly entangled with four men and caught in a Shura field

The young general who made his name early,

her supremely talented older brother,

the dashing young nobleman,

and the gentle, devoted prince.

The four of them spent their days getting jealous and needling each other, while Zhongli Rong never gave it much thought and focused entirely on revenge. It was only when they each confessed to her in turn at her eighteenth birthday celebration that she finally realized: Oh, they all like me!

[Reader's Guide]

1. This is a very old-school, over-the-top battle-for-the-girl Shura field story. Revenge is the main plot, and it contains many fictional elements.

2. The heroine is not a naive, silly girl; she's just slow to catch on when it comes to romance. Don't you dare insult her! She'll become stunningly beautiful later.

3. One-on-one romance, happy ending, and the official pairing is already decided. Feel free to express your love for your favorite characters in the comments! If you dislike them, don't tell me. My characters will be sad.
