The Sweetheart Is Reborn and Ready to Run, While the Mad Crown Prince Sees Red

[Faithful and Pure + Winning His Wife's Heart + Sweet on the Outside, Dark Within]

After spending seven years as the Crown Princess, Xie Zhiyue takes her own life in the Eastern Palace on the day the Crown Prince ascends the throne. She is reborn at the age of fifteen. To change the tragedy that befell her family in her previous life, all she wants is to keep her distance from the Crown Prince.

But there's no escaping him.

The first time they meet after her rebirth, she crashes into the Crown Prince's carriage, and he makes her kneel in the middle of the street.

The second time, she spills tea on him, and in private, he calls her by her childhood name.

The third time, she nearly drowns and he pulls her from the water. The Crown Prince then suffers a high fever that lasts seven days.

Just as she is about to become engaged to someone else, the Crown Prince, revered by outsiders as noble, gentle, and untouchable, pins her against the desk in the Eastern Palace study and kisses her fiercely.

He catches her earring between his lips. His usually proud, bright eyes are shadowed by a bottomless darkness. “You are meant to be my Crown Princess.”

On the day her family arranges her engagement, he really does show up uninvited with an imperial edict in hand and a gentle, jade-like smile. “Xie Yanyan, you can't marry anyone but me.”

Qi Jingxuan always thought he wasn't a particularly good person, but he wasn't a bad one either. That is, until he met a delicate little girl.

The girl seemed to know him well. She knew his guards, knew he didn't like sweets, and even wrote in a graceful script almost identical to his own.

Later, the girl actually called him utterly heartless and cruel.

When he found out why she thought he was so heartless and cruel, he realized he was more wronged than Dou E.

Note: The male lead is not reborn. He only dreams of some moments from his previous life with the female lead. He's aloof and a little stiff at first, but may go a little crazy later on.
