After Abandoning the Sinister Crown Prince (Both Reborn)

In her previous life, the most outrageous thing Wen Yu ever did was beg the emperor to grant her and Xie Changqian permission to be together.

At the time, she was still the Marquis's legitimate daughter, with a prestigious status, while Xie Changqian had already been convicted and imprisoned. As the emperor's fifth son, he had been made a prince before coming of age. He was the only Great Heng prince to receive that honor, yet in a single night, he fell out of the emperor's favor.

The emperor asked her, "Are you willing to be confined with him in Prince Gong's residence, never to set foot outside again for the rest of your life?"

Wen Yu answered without hesitation, "Your subject is willing."

In just two years, Xie Changqian reclaimed the power he had lost and returned to court. He was once again valued and named crown prince.

Everyone said the Crown Prince was gentle and kind, and practiced self-discipline and propriety. Wen Yu thought so too, until he inherited the throne and she saw his true nature.

He was brooding and ruthless, held grudges, and was cold and unfeeling toward everyone.

Wen Yu was the only person who had seen him at his lowest, filthy and utterly humiliated.

Xie Changqian confined her in the palace, forbidding her from speaking to anyone else or appearing before the public. He even wanted to erase every trace of her ever having been there.

Xie Changqian loved her, but his love was far too obsessive.

Unable to endure it, Wen Yu tried to escape, but fell to her death.

When she opened her eyes again, she was back on the day Xie Changqian's troubles began.

Facing her father, who urged her to put her family first, Wen Yu calmly said, "I've made up my mind. Please send a letter ending my engagement to Prince Gong's residence."

After breaking off the engagement, she was once again the highly esteemed legitimate daughter of the Marquis, admired by all.

She thought she and Xie Changqian would never cross paths again in this life, but to her surprise, he was released in little more than a month.

The Marquis's household worried that Prince Gong might take out his anger on her and began seeking another husband for her. Beneath the spring sunshine, she walked beside a young lord, her lips curled in a faint smile and her eyes bright with laughter.

Behind them, Xie Changqian's eyes were bloodshot. His possessive desire surged violently, on the verge of overwhelming him.

Crown Prince, let's leave each other alone.

Never. Not unless I'm dead.

* The male lead is genuinely unhinged: volatile, gloomy, and disturbingly possessive and controlling.

* The female lead really doesn't want him anymore. She has seriously considered getting engaged to someone else.

* A dog-training romance, HE
