[Arrogant and domineering yet clear-eyed and composed eldest princess vs. self-disciplined and proper yet scheming and obsessive grand academician]
Bai Jinmian had never seen him lose control and sob like that before.
He held her corpse and wept as if his heart were breaking, then personally avenged her.
When she opened her eyes, she found herself sitting in the academy, staring blankly at the grand academician lecturing on the dais. A trace of tears still glistened at the corner of her eye.
So Heaven had given her a chance to be reborn.
In her previous life, Consort Shu had coaxed and coddled her, promising that marrying the grand academician would protect her mother and younger brother. Instead, she received his icy refusal and an imperial decree from her father ordering her to marry into another kingdom.
Only after she died did she learn that it had all been Consort Shu's scheme. Now that she had another chance, she would never make the same mistake again. She would stay far away from the grand academician.
But the grand academician, who had been so cold and distant toward her in her previous life, seemed like a completely different person now. He not only approached her of his own accord, but also cared for her, helped her out of trouble, and turned down many marriage proposals on her behalf...
Bai Jinmian was utterly confused. What had gone wrong? How had someone who'd been perfectly normal suddenly become so absurd?

By the time Wen Jingheng arrived, it was already too late. He saw the spoiled, naive princess lying on the cold ground, her white veil stained completely red.
He went mad, calling her name again and again and kissing her. After killing her enemies with his own hands, he followed her in death.
When he opened his eyes again, he was lecturing at the academy. He lifted his head abruptly and met Bai Jinmian's gaze.
Perhaps Heaven took pity on him and gave him a chance to be reborn.
In his previous life, he thought that refusing her advances would keep her safe for the rest of her life. But in the end, it was his own cowardice that led to her tragic death.
Now that he had another chance, he would never keep her at arm's length again. Yet whenever she saw him, she hid from him as if he were a cat and she were a mouse.
Wen Jingheng had no choice but to slowly draw the princess into falling for him again. But there always seemed to be a trace of hatred in her eyes when she looked at him.
