A Second Spring Breeze

In her previous life, Li Wangqiu was a revered eldest princess. In her youth, she was spoiled and willful, determined to get whatever she wanted by any means necessary.

Pei Shen was no exception.

She liked Pei Shen, but no matter how she expressed her admiration or tried to win him over, he always looked at her with loathing. She had little patience, so she resorted to taking him by force.

Li Wangqiu kept Pei Shen confined in her princess's residence. She got his body, but never his heart. Pei Shen was proud and held grudges. He hated her so much that he wanted to destroy her kingdom.

As the kingdom fell, she saw Pei Shen's cold, hate-filled gaze through the flames.

Li Wangqiu sighed. Just before losing consciousness, she saw Pei Shen running toward her.

When she opened her eyes again, Li Wangqiu was seventeen once more, and Pei Shen had been drugged and sent to her.

His phoenix eyes were red and misty as he stared at her.

Well, well. How tempting.

But remembering what had happened in her previous life, Li Wangqiu decided not to make the same mistake again. She got up to leave and ordered someone to escort Pei Shen away.

But Pei Shen stopped her. He gazed at her pitifully with those bloodshot phoenix eyes, his fingers gripping her skirt so tightly that they turned white. "Didn't you want to have your way with me? Why are you leaving? You can't leave..."

Li Wangqiu thought Pei Shen had gone mad. He was actually begging her to take him by force.

Everyone said Pei Shen hated Li Wangqiu, and Pei Shen believed it too. But the moment she breathed her last in his arms, he realized that his own heart seemed to die with her.

It turned out he didn't hate her. He only hated how little she loved him.

Thankfully, Heaven took pity on him and gave him another chance at life.

He looked at the drugged wine and drank it without hesitation. He wanted to return to her side, but he never expected that she would no longer want him.
