Blurb:
Her cousin, Xie You, was handsome enough to put the most beautiful men to shame. From the moment Cui Ruoqi first laid eyes on him, she fell for him.
Later, after Xie You lost both his parents, he came to live with the Cui family for a while.
She tried every trick she could think of to get his attention, but Xie You never so much as glanced at her.
She didn't care. She liked him, and she was going to marry him. Given enough time, she was sure she could warm his heart.
As time passed, the Cui family fell into decline, while Xie You passed all three levels of the imperial examinations and won the emperor's favor. Hoping to restore her family's fortunes, she persuaded her father to offer her hand to Xie You. Since he owed the Cui family a debt of gratitude, she assumed he wouldn't turn them down.
When Cui Ruoqi's father discussed the marriage with Xie You, he didn't refuse. “I'll leave it to you, Uncle,” he said.
Hidden behind a screen, Cui Ruoqi heard him and burst into tears. So Xie You did have feelings for her after all.
*
It wasn't until after marrying Xie You that Cui Ruoqi realized this marriage had been nothing but wishful thinking on her part.
On their wedding night, she waited and waited until dawn, but Xie You never came.
Less than a month after the wedding, the emperor sent Xie You to the border to put down a rebellion. She learned about it from a maid.
She waited day and night for his return, but rumors gradually spread from the border that Xie You had fallen for a princess from beyond the frontier at first sight. She refused to believe them, until Xie You sent a memorial to the emperor from beyond the frontier, pleading for the princess to be spared execution. The moment she heard the news, she collapsed to the floor.
With the Cold Food Festival approaching, Xie You had someone bring her a box of pastries from beyond the frontier. She was overjoyed, but as soon as she ate one, blood poured from her eyes, ears, nose, and mouth, and she died.
In her final moments, it felt as if a hundred ants were biting her. Her whole body hurt, and she writhed on the floor in agony. She had thought Xie You was merely indifferent to her. She never imagined he could hate her this much.
*
Reborn, Cui Ruoqi meets her cousin Xie You again. This time, she decides to stay away from him.
Using what she remembers from her previous life, she saves the Cui family.
When it comes time for her to marry, her father proposes that she wed Xie You, just as he did in her previous life.
“I already have someone in mind, Father. It's a young master from the Gu family,” she says.
At her words, anger flashes in the eyes of Xie You, usually as gentle as jade. His hand, hidden in his sleeve, clenches into a fist.
That night, Xie You gets drunk and pins her against a wall. “Cousin, do you really have feelings for Young Master Gu?”

The Crown Prince Wants to Win Back His Wife (Reborn):
Xu Moqing is the youngest daughter of a general's household. Spoiled since childhood, she has never bowed her head to anyone, except the Seventh Prince, Xiao He'an.
Xiao He'an is handsome and refined, with a face like carved jade. He is the most sought-after prince in the Great Jin Dynasty, and Xu Moqing falls for him the moment she first sees him.
Hoping to win Xiao He'an's favor, Xu Moqing spends every day studying his likes and dislikes. For his sake, she reins in her usual boldness and acts as docile as a cat in front of him.
Even after all that, he never once gives her a proper glance.
During the struggle for the throne, Xiao He'an allies with the general's household. In return for the Xu family's help in the succession struggle, they secure the position of Crown Princess for Xu Moqing.
When she learns she is to marry Xiao He'an, she is so excited that she can't sleep all night.
*
After moving into the Eastern Palace, she devotes herself to serving Xiao He'an and takes care of every little thing in the residence. Now that she has married him, she believes there is plenty of time to warm his heart.
Life goes on like this until the day Xiao He'an brings a woman back to the residence. Xu Moqing sees him smile softly at her, and the sight pierces her eyes with pain.
While Xiao He'an is sent to Tongzhou to manage the floods, someone frames the Xu family, and everyone in the Xu household is thrown into the imperial prison. As soon as he hears the news, he writes to Xiao He'an for help. But even after a long wait, no reply comes.
That night, the woman Xiao He'an brought home walks into her bedroom and says, “Sister, did you know His Majesty is having General Xu executed tomorrow? His Highness also promised me that when he returns, he'll bring me into the Eastern Palace.”
Xu Moqing is so furious that she spits out a large mouthful of blood. So all along, she had only been fooling herself.
That night, someone forces her to drink a large bowl of poison. She smiles bitterly. Every sorrow in her life began with Xiao He'an. If she has another life, she will never marry him again.
*
Reborn, Xu Moqing meets Xiao He'an again. This time, she won't cling to him. There are plenty of good men in the world. She can't keep hanging herself from the same tree.
The struggle for the throne is over, and Xiao He'an makes a special trip to the Xu residence to thank the family. Everyone assumes Xu Moqing will use their contribution to the succession struggle to ask for the position of Crown Princess.
Instead, she curtsies to Xiao He'an and says, “Your Highness has come a long way. I will be married soon. You must honor us with your presence and share a few cups of wedding wine.”
At her words, anger flashes in the eyes of Xiao He'an, usually as calm as still water. He nearly crushes the teacup in his hand.

Theme: Lovers are destined to be together in the end.
Can you please stop writing it in such a disgusting way? The female protagonist's rebirth is always an invalid rebirth. It's not unreasonable for the male protagonist to suppress the female protagonist. He has deep scheming and manpower. What does the heroine have? Do you have a love brain and truth, goodness and beauty? Have family members who are holding you back?
Can you be more decisive? Since the heroine has broken up with the hero, she should be decisive. What else should she give as a gift? Her parents are also strange. They always think about giving benefits to the hero. What kind of matchmaking is there to make the heroine unable to get married?
The heroine only has this much potential. If it were me, I don't care if you misunderstood. In the previous life, the heroine died, but she still ate the food given by the hero. After rebirth, I will hate you very much, not someone as pale as a chrysanthemum. It's okay if you don't marry the male protagonist [Split] The female protagonist in the female video only has this little potential
Good guy. The heroine's mother and father are all cheating, and they support the heroine's cheating. I support the heroine's love brain, but the heroine says she doesn't want it anymore, and she still arranges it. After all, the heroine is her daughter. Or is the male protagonist her son?
I suggest you re-read the second half of Chapter 27. It has been greatly changed. I wrote several versions of the plot of this chapter. When I posted it, I accidentally combined the two chapters into one and mixed the plot of the other version. You must re-read it!
I have to work hard to update now that I'm back. [Kiss] [Kiss] The six months of waiting have been a long time!
What kind of bad luck have you had recently? All I met were authors who were full of lies.
The male protagonist is the child of Prince Zhang Ren, right?
The hostess is so nice. She thought she was poisoned by him in her previous life. Now she doesn't want to take revenge. She still cares about him.
