Revised, with important plot changes and a new bonus side story. Please support the official version on Jinjiang. My new novel, "The Thief Has His Eye on Me," is now online. The blurb is below. Please add it to your collection!
Princess Yongjia was breathtakingly beautiful, honored and prosperous, and lived in perfect harmony with her husband, Wang Run.
When she was twenty, her father, the emperor, died unexpectedly. Before she could officially be elevated from princess to senior princess, her own brother raised an army in rebellion.
Within half a month, her brother and sister-in-law were sentenced to death, and her mother took her own life.
Her husband begged her to keep living, but after eating the evening meal he brought her, she died.
When she opened her eyes again, Yongjia had returned to age fifteen.
There was still time to change everything.
In this life, she only wanted her father to live a long life, her mother to be happy, and her brother to take the right path. As for herself, she never wanted to marry a consort again.
But her father and mother were in a hurry to find her a husband and asked whether she had anyone in mind.
Lost in memories of her previous life, Yongjia blurted out a name: "Xie Zhao."
...In her previous life, this was the man who had captured her brother alive and helped put down the rebellion. He was a great hero.
The Noble Consort asked in confusion, "Who is Xie Zhao?"
Who was Xie Zhao? Even Yongjia herself hardly knew. She had never met him before.
But after she said his name, she kept running into him again and again.
Because she had been reborn, she knew where the person Xie Zhao had been ordered to find was. She insisted on going with him.
A palace maid teased her in private, "This servant thinks the princess just wants to spend more time with Lord Xie."
"That's right. That's exactly what I want," Yongjia replied casually.
As soon as the words left her mouth, she turned and saw Xie Zhao raise his brows in surprise.
In both her past and present lives, he was the only variable. An unpredictable variable.
He was handsome, of noble birth, and skilled in martial arts. He was truly an excellent choice for a princess's consort.
Besides, Yongjia believed that if the events of her previous life could not be avoided, he would be capable of protecting her and her mother. When necessary, he could even break her elder brother's legs first.
But first, she had to make him utterly devoted to her.
*
At eighteen, Xie Zhao suddenly met a beautiful princess.
She was gentle, she was sweet, and she had a little scheme to get close to him.
He was more than willing to be her consort, her guard, her servant...
One day after they married, he was about to enter their room when he heard Yongjia complain.
"Cousin, don't let how lovey-dovey Xie Zhao and I seem fool you. I often can't stand him. I've wanted to go to the palace and complain about him more than once!"
"Does your husband treat you badly? Then why put up with it?"
"Xie Zhao is crude and doesn't understand a husband's duties at all. But you know, I once had a nightmare. My mother and I were destined to die, and everything that happened afterward came true. Xie Zhao is the one who will save me."
Inside the room, Yongjia belittled her marriage and her husband, trying to comfort her cousin, who was troubled by love.
Outside, Xie Zhao did not make a sound.
Reading Guide:
1. This is not a court-politics novel. The main plot is romance.
2. In her previous life, the heroine was married, while the hero had never been married. In this life, it is a one-on-one romance, and both are sexually inexperienced. The hero is only described as crude because of what the heroine says. He is not a rugged, rough-around-the-edges type.
Please add my next novel, "The Thief Has His Eye on Me," to your collection!
Blurb: A story about taking in a man, with a degree of coercive romance. Smiling schemer x resilient woman, one-on-one romance, both sexually inexperienced.
Scheduled to begin in November 2025. Updates daily until the main story is complete.
Xiao Cheng was caught off guard and ambushed one day. He was pursued and left on the verge of death in an orchard on the outskirts of the capital.
Fortunately, Xiang'e, a maid from the orchard, saved him. During the three days they spent together, she carefully bandaged his wounds, while he helped her get her contract of servitude and gave her a generous sum of silver. From then on, they owed each other nothing.
Their stations in life were worlds apart, and there was no chance they would meet again.
After returning home, Xiao Cheng kept dreaming of the woman who had sat beside his bed while he was half-conscious. He dreamed of her slender, fair neck as she lowered her head, her soft hand resting on his forehead, her quiet voice...
She clung to his thoughts, haunting him day and night.
Someone offered him advice: she was just a lone woman who had once been a servant. If he was so taken with her, he could simply bring her into his household as a concubine.
He found her and proposed taking her as a concubine.
Xiang'e smiled at him. "Thanks to you, I'm free now. I don't want to enter any great household for the rest of my life."
-
Xiang'e had once been a servant in a great household. Demoted to hard labor in an orchard, she gained her freedom and found a way to support herself.
At last, she had the peaceful, simple life she had always dreamed of. But strange things kept happening...
The honest man she was discussing marriage with vanished mysteriously overnight.
And the nobleman from the duke's household whom she had saved...
Would not leave her alone.

What a pity. In fact, Wang Run is not a bad guy either.
I stayed up late to finish reading it. The first part was a little flat but overall it was very good. When it comes to the male and female protagonists individually, the writing was pretty good. I hope the author will open up new pits. Come on come on 💪 💪
Congratulations on the completion! [Spread flowers] Yongjia seems to have always been an ordinary princess. Since childhood, she has been well-dressed and well-fed, and has a proud and somewhat delicate temperament. He is somewhat clever in his dealings with others, but he cannot be said to be strategic. When I came back from rebirth, I thought I was in the underworld. Later, I tried to avoid disasters several times and tried my best to plan, but it seemed that I was just talking to various people, but I accidentally put myself in danger several times. At some critical moments, she tried to save herself, but in the end she had to rely on others to save her. Fortunately, the villain's mind is not very bright, and he only wants to attack the prince and the daughter of a low-born family first. She is a princess, and she is always surrounded by people to serve her. She does not need to do or think about many things by herself. It is true that she does not need to be good at both civil and military skills and be proficient in everything. But during the long years in the palace and in the princess's mansion in her previous life, did she spend her time chatting with people and reading storybooks? I can't seem to recall any special hobbies she has. I just think the character is a bit thin, which is a pity. I am a fast reader, and I am often very careless in reading ten lines at a time. These thoughts may not be very accurate, and there may be mistakes. I hope the author can forgive me and don't mind.
I stayed up late last night and finished watching it. I couldn't accept the way the male protagonist treated the female protagonist after knowing the real reason why she married him. But I thought about the good things about the male protagonist in the past, which were okay, so I continued reading until I saw the cousin couple. I really didn't understand why the male protagonist treated his cousin indifferently before and looked down on her cousin's family!! And now he told his cousin that he liked her. Seeing her being led by her mother to look at other people, he realized his true feelings and wanted to marry her. From now on, her parents will be his parents. Ahhhh, it's really hard to understand. If he looked down on her before, can he look down on her now that he's married? What's more, there is a control group, Xiao Zhi. Xiao Zhi first convinced his parents before he confessed to his cousin and pursued her. Don't imitate sisters in real life. Let's choose normal people and don't bet on the conscience of men. But I still love the ignorant young minds of the male and female protagonists in the early stage.
So why did King Ji rebel?
What, my cousin is still with Situ Nasha [changed] [changed]
It feels like writing a questionnaire based on the answers haha
Xiao Xie: I'm very anxious, anxious to see the princess, anxious to make the princess fall in love with me
So sweet, but a little sad. In the previous life, Furong was cheated by his father, and the queen also hated it. She insisted on talking too much.
The male and female protagonists are invincible and well written, but the relationship between the eldest princess and her cousin is like eating a fly. One is married to a man who desperately gave birth to a son for the second time, and the other is a trash lover who didn't want to admit that they knew each other in the early stage 🐶
