In her previous life, Wei Luo was a naïve and trusting young lady whose innocence led only to betrayal and regret. Death, however, grants her a second chance. Reborn to her younger years, she hides her sharp mind and ruthless determination behind a sweet, lovable smile. No longer willing to be manipulated, Wei Luo carefully plots her future, making even those who uncover her true nature fear and submit to her. Yet there is one exception-the powerful Prince Regent. Cold and untouchable in the eyes of the world, he treats Wei Luo as his most precious treasure. He indulges her every whim, shields her from every storm, and spoils her beyond reason. Even when she refuses, he stubbornly places the highest honors at her feet, determined to make her his cherished princess. In this new life, Wei Luo never sought love or affection. But the Prince Regent is determined to give her everything-his power, his devotion, and even his entire world. ✍️ Funghe Youyue

Tic...tac...tic...tac... Ce même bruit incessant l'empêchait de fermer l'œil la nuit...mais était-il vraiment la source de ses insomnies ? « Je peux dormir ici ce soir ? » ...Ou était-ce autre chose. Il n'y avait rien de pire que ressentir le danger autour de nous. De le sentir effleurer notre peau, couper notre respiration...nourrir nos angoisses. Parce que contrairement à ce qu'on pouvait penser, le calme ne régnait toujours pas à Ewing. Le danger n'était pas loin. Il planait autour d'elle comme un fantôme...alors qu'un premier la hantait déjà. Quelque chose se préparait, son instinct lui hurlait de s'enfuir. Car cette fois, elle ne serait pas épargnée. Mais pourtant, lorsque la nuit la plongeait dans le noir complet... ...quelque chose la retenait dans cette ville. « - Réveille-toi, princesse... » « - Reviens-moi si tu peux... »

Tic...tac...tic...tac... Les secondes défilaient lentement pendant cette fameuse nuit, le temps était froid. Aussi froid que le corps qu'il venait d'enterrer. Aussi froid que la bibliothèque où elle venait enfin de terminer ses révisions. Le calme régnait...des deux côtés. Mais le calme aimait se faire désirer chez lui...et maintenant chez elle. À cause de lui. « Allô ? » Ils n'avaient rien en commun. Ils ne se connaissaient pas vraiment. « La cible est en train de sortir de la bibliothèque, on attend ton signal Kai. » « Allez-y. » Enfin ça...c'était avant. Avant qu'elle ne soit l'objet de sa nouvelle mission. Et de sa curiosité. (Not owned picture)
