Rebirth Before Breaking Up With The Princess

Read

After days of cold silence, Xu Liuying happily accepted the invitation from the Second Princess Pei Ying, only to be brutally killed by the sword of the person she loved most. On a bitterly cold winter night, Liuying lay covered in blood. In her final moments, she heard the Princess approach, and a despair greater than death itself washed over her: the Princess not only wanted her dead but needed to watch her draw her last breath to feel at ease.

Excruciating pain racked Liuying’s body as the past twelve years flashed before her eyes. She had accompanied the Princess for twelve years, intimate and inseparable, believing she had been utterly loyal and devoted. Why did all that sacrifice lead to such a tragic death? As Liuying closed her eyes, she finally realized the Princess had long since grown to resent and despise her to this extent—hating her enough to desire her swift demise. In the extreme cold of the winter night, Liuying’s hopes were extinguished, and she bled out in the blizzard.

After death, Xu Liuying is reborn, returning to four years prior, where all the hatred and mistakes can still be rectified. This time, she refuses to be Pei Ying’s pawn ever again.

Second Princess Pei Ying has been deeply troubled lately, especially when she sees the lack of warmth in Xu Liuying’s eyes, and when she hears Liuying’s passionless, doll-like moans in bed, a profound frustration wells up inside her.

This frustration is not confined to the bedroom; it extends to the court. Liuying opposes her at every turn, displaying an ironclad resolve to sever their ties. Even when they meet by chance, Liuying refuses to look at her. Pei Ying has nowhere to vent this distress, as she was the one who initiated this separation. Yet, gradually, Pei Ying realizes something is wrong: Liuying’s distance and disgust no longer seem like an act. Sometime along the way, she and Liuying truly became strangers.

Proud as the Princess is, she rarely bows her head, but this time, no matter how hard she tries or how humbly she pleads, Liuying’s heart remains closed to her. It is not until the Lantern Festival that she sees Liuying—who constantly rejects her—intimately linked arm-in-arm with someone else. The sight strikes her like a thunderbolt. It seems there is no chance left for her and her Liuying.

On a silent winter night, alone with Liuying, she hears her articulate her hatred word by word, hearing the definitive declaration that she is no longer loved. After a moment of dead silence, Pei Ying cups Liuying’s face, wiping away the crystalline tears, and asks through a choked voice, “Didn’t you stop loving me? Why are you still crying?” Amidst the cold wind and snowy mist, she hears Liuying reply, “It is true I do not love you, but I still harbor hatred for the Princess.”
