A Flourishing Era of Glory and Favor: The Pampered Princess Is Hard to Raise

[Beautiful, fierce, reborn powerhouse & cool, proud double-standard jealousy king]

When a powerful figure is reborn, she may arrive amid bloodshed and turmoil, stirring the winds and clouds of the realm; or she may strike gold and soar to success, living life to the fullest.

But Miss Cen has made herself clear: in this life, she just wants to take it easy. Cleaning up corruption at court? Bringing peace to the realm? Keep me out of it!

Wouldn't it be better to spend her time watching the flirtatious schemers and pure-hearted beauties compete for attention, and tormenting the scoundrels now and then?

But someone always seems determined to make trouble for her, ruining her romantic prospects one day and destroying her favorite white lotus the next.

Cen Jiao: “Regent, how about you stage your rebellion and I grow my flowers, and we remain strangers who can't stand each other? Let's not drag each other into this.”

The regent swiftly strikes with his blade.

Cen Jiao grits her teeth. “That was a peach blossom I'd just managed to win over! How could you ruin it? I'll fight you to the death today!”

“Mm. We won't part.”

He suddenly smiles, and in an instant, the ice and snow melt and the peach and plum blossoms pale.

“Huh?”

Cen Jiao freezes. The next moment, she's pulled into his arms, meeting eyes bright as cold stars and the moon.

“We'll never part in this life,” he says.

Cen Jiao: “…”

There are countless peach blossoms in the world, but this was the one she never meant to pick. She'd meant to set someone's heart aflame, but instead, the fire broke out in her own backyard.

In the end, she was outplayed and paid for it with her whole life.

She says, “Life is short, so we should enjoy it. The sun is warm, the years are peaceful. We should choose someone to walk beside us until old age.”

He says, “The years ahead are long, but without her, all the world's splendor is nothing more than a handful of sand. In this life, all I wish for is you, and you alone.”
