Naivety

Blurb One:

There was once a legitimate daughter of noble birth. Her mother was a Grand Princess, her father a marquis renowned for his military achievements, and her family had served the imperial court for generations. Her uncles and cousins were all outstanding men, and she herself was beautiful, gifted, and famous throughout the realm. With such an enviable start in life, she still ruined everything by trusting an unfavored illegitimate prince. She broke off her engagement and helped him seize the throne. Her father died, her brother was killed, and her mother died of grief. She lost everyone she loved. In the end, once the cunning hare was dead, the hounds were cooked: she was banished to the Cold Palace, and that dog emperor even planned to use her child's heart as medicine for his frail, willow-like little white flower... Reborn, she swore to take back everything that belonged to her!

And as her twin brother Yuan Ling, who had loved her most in her previous life and died the most tragic death, he was naturally the person she most wanted to protect this time around. But, I mean, what if... this brother happened to be delicate, soft, and easy to push down?

Blurb Two:

Yuan Ling once asked the gods why they had to destroy everyone's innocence.

The gods replied that innocence faded with age, and that people chose to give it up themselves.

Yuan Ling closed his eyes, crossed the River of Forgetfulness, and walked through the flames of rebirth. "I won't."
