Reborn to Marry the Emperor's Uncle Again

In her previous life, she watched the Crown Prince marry someone else, while she remained confined to the back courtyard until her death.

In this life, she wears a red wedding dress and marries the Crown Prince's Seventh Imperial Uncle.

The Crown Prince does everything he can to win her back, only to discover that the girl who once smiled sweetly at him has a heart of iron and will never look back.

This is the story of a scheming Seventh Imperial Uncle and a chubby little girl.

Back then, he was a young man making his first trip to Cangyuan Mountain.

When he was pursued all the way to the summit, he came across a chubby little girl in a pale green dress made of delicate silk, a bouquet of wildflowers in her hand and a sea of blossoms covering the mountains behind her.

She gazed at him curiously. "Big Brother, you're so handsome. Are you a celestial being from heaven?"

Killing intent rose in his eyes, and his hand slowly closed around the hilt of the long sword at his waist.

Little Youning was only nine. Unaware of the danger, she still tipped up her round face and held out the flowers. "I'm picking flowers to eat. The flowers here are really tasty. Try one!"

He stared at her as his sword slowly slid from its sheath.

But the little girl was still absorbed in the joy of sharing food. She took a round pastry out of her cloth bag. "I just made this osmanthus rice cake. Want to try some?"

When he didn't respond, she rummaged around and pulled out a steamed bun, holding it high with a sweet smile. "Would you like a flower bun?"

He held the sword at his side, angled behind him.

For the first time, the sword in his hand hesitated.
