How to Drive the Ice Queen Crazy (Reborn)

[Thanks for subscribing, and thank you for enjoying the story] Xie Zhuoguang is Kyoto's famed aloof beauty, a man of sterling character and outstanding grace. Yu Mingyao may pride herself on her beauty, but as a lone orphan, how could she ever hope to reach for the moon in the sky? Besides, among the refined and wealthy relatives she was staying with, there was a handsome, silver-tongued cousin she had secretly once been fond of. By a twist of fate, a cup of doctored tea led her to claim him. Afterward, she was respectful and compliant, never daring to hope for anything more. But after seven years of marriage, all she got was anxiety over whether her family would meet a tragic end, and one frequent tryst after another without a child to show for it. Enough. Enough! Reborn, she decides to let them both go. Perhaps her cousin from the Pei family is actually not a bad choice? * His close friend is as handsome as Xu Gong. Recently, a distant cousin moved into his home, hoping to find a good husband. The woman's beauty is gaudy and her methods are impressive. She has his friend falling deeper by the day, until he cries, "My wife!" Xie Zhuoguang finds it utterly distasteful and wants nothing more than to keep his distance. Unfortunately, this woman is fickle, and seems to have feelings for him as well. After much deliberation, he can only warn her in secret to be a good wife to his friend and stop coveting him. But all he gets in reply is, "You're full of yourself." After his friend's wedding is settled, Xie Zhuoguang somehow begins losing sleep night after night. Her face keeps appearing in his mind, wearing a phoenix crown and bridal veil, gazing at him shyly. He can't help feeling that he and she are the ones who should be husband and wife. "Have you heard? The heir of the Duke of Xie, the one who never shows interest in women, has gone mad!" Xie Zhuoguang: In my last life, I was the one who chose to drink that tea. In this life, I was the one who stole the kiss. Give me another life, and it will still be me. 1. Sweet romance, both leads are virgins. 1. A sharp-tongued, overly theatrical fake aloof beauty versus a stubborn, heartbroken, truly gorgeous and flirtatious slacker. 2. Both leads are reborn. The male lead gradually recovers his memories later on. --- [A must-read upcoming novel you can't miss] --- "After I Transmigrated Into a Book, the Yandere Turned the Tables on Me" 1. Bo Qiuhan fell for a woman whose whereabouts were impossible to pin down. Without changing her expression, she would press the tip of a knife against his Adam's apple and watch foul-smelling blood bloom like a crimson plum, her eyes lowered. His very soul trembled for her. Someone so extraordinary died in a conspiracy he had devised himself. Ignoring his elder brother's dark expression, Bo Qiuhan laid a cold kiss on her lips. "If there is another life, I won't let you go again... Sister-in-law." 2. Blow after blow, Bo Qiuhan made himself into the most miserable of alley cats: covered in scars, with nothing but his beauty to his name. But her eyes still lingered only on his elder brother. She had barely finished comforting him before she went off to share romantic moments with his brother. Jealousy twisted Bo Qiuhan's face beyond recognition, but in her previous life, she had died saving his brother. He didn't dare gamble, and couldn't afford to. 3. At last, the two of them became one. Across two lifetimes, he had never been this happy. So what if she blinded him with poison and made him drink birth control medicine every day? They had identical faces, and in the end, he had beaten his brother by a hair. Perhaps a stolen dream was always destined to end. She was carrying his child, yet still had no intention of canceling her engagement to his brother. Then... let's perish together, Sister-in-law? [Female lead's perspective] I'm a mission-taker in a fictional world, tasked with winning over all sorts of male leads and achieving the "early-death white moonlight" ending. As someone who has been named "Outstanding Employee" year after year, I'm an expert at this. Fall in love with paper people in a mission world? Impossible. Absolutely impossible! Make a claim too boldly, and you'll get face-slapped. In this perfectly ordinary little world, I met the one fate had chosen for me. He wasn't one of my targets. But I still gave him everything, except a proper title. I told him he was only a substitute. 1. One-on-one romance, yandere versus straight woman. 2. The female lead transmigrates into a book, while the male lead is reborn. The female lead's target is the second male lead, and the two men are twins. Theme: A perfect match is destined by heaven.
