After Rebirth, I Refuse to Be the Crown Princess

Su Shu loved Crown Prince Ren Yan for ten years. She loved him so deeply that she disregarded her own safety and transferred the Gu poison in his body into herself, leaving her unconscious for three days and three nights. When she awoke, she saw him holding her half sister’s hand, his eyes filled with a tenderness he had never shown her. Later, Ren Yan ascended the throne and issued his first imperial decree, naming her half sister as Empress. Meanwhile, Su Shu was confined to the desolate Cold Palace, where she listened to the joyous music celebrating the Empress’s coronation. Until the day she died, Ren Yan never came to see her. As she lay dying, she made a single wish. If she were ever granted another life, she would never love him again. When Su Shu opened her eyes once more, she had returned to the age of sixteen, to the very day Ren Yan was afflicted by the Gu poison. This time, she decisively broke off their engagement and married his elder brother instead. Ren Yan was the emperor’s most valued son and the perfect heir in the eyes of the court. Born into privilege, he had never known what it meant to desire something he could not obtain. To him, Su Shu was nothing more than an insignificant fiancée. He paid no attention to her sacrifices or tears and readily agreed when she proposed breaking off their engagement. He never imagined he would regret his decision. Yet after that night, his body remembered her scent, awakening an insatiable desire within him. He thought that granting her the position of Crown Princess would not be such a bad idea after all, only to discover that she had married his elder brother instead. Obsession consumed Ren Yan. On the day of Su Shu’s wedding, the newly enthroned emperor had not even removed his ceremonial robes and crown before he rode out of the palace with troops to intercept her bridal sedan. That night, he cornered her against the imperial dragon bed, his eyes reddened and his voice hoarse as he pleaded, “Shu Shu, will you love me one more time?” — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: After Rebirth, I Refuse to Be the Crown Princess — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
