After the Reborn Cousin Reborn, Sinister Powerbrokers Vie to Bow Before Her

[Reborn + alternate history + devoted couple + one-on-one romance + rekindled love + rivalry among men + irresistible heroine] In a story about a canary kept in a cage, Ning Jiao is a beautiful, delicate woman who goes weak in the knees at the sight of the male lead. Then she is reborn and awakens to the truth. And as luck would have it, she is reborn on the very night the male lead devours her until not even her bones remain. In the novel’s original plot, Ning Jiao seeks out Song Zhuo, hoping to secure a good marriage. Song Zhuo has just been framed, and the two end up together as if it were meant to be. A noble son of great lineage, famous from a young age: to Ning Jiao, no marriage could be better than one to him. But she never expected Song Zhuo to send her poisoned wine to protect his own reputation. Now that she has to face Song Zhuo again, Ning Jiao resists the plot’s designs by keeping her body under control. The only way is to maintain physical distance and stay as far from him as possible. But while she avoids him, he keeps seeking her out. If that’s how it is, then Ning Jiao can’t be blamed for being ruthless. She doesn’t want to die, so Song Zhuo will have to die instead. * The Second Young Master Song has been in a foul mood lately, all because of the cousin who is temporarily staying at his residence. She flirted with him, then ran off halfway through. Later, Ning Jiao started dodging him whenever she saw him. He even sensed hidden resentment and hatred in her gaze. He couldn’t understand what he’d done wrong until Ning Jiao plunged a sword into his chest. Only then did he realize that her hatred for him had never been an act. * Ning Jiao, courtesy name Zhuiyue. Song Zhuo, courtesy name Linchuan. Delicate flower vs. hypocrite. * Content warning: Neither the male nor female lead is perfect, and this is not a strong-female-lead story. If that bothers you, please don’t read. I’m no good at writing author bios, so please head to the story itself for a look~
