Rebirth of the Possessive Crown Prince: Come Kiss Me

Gu Qinghan, the treasured daughter of a renowned general family, lives a life of luxury and adoration in the capital. Despite her gentle and naive nature, she is deeply betrayed on her wedding day by the man she loves, Xiao Yinghuai, and her cousin, Gu Xu. Xiao Yinghuai stabs her while Gu Xu, consumed by envy over Gu Qinghan's beauty and status, watches with malicious glee. As Gu Qinghan dies in her crimson wedding gown, she witnesses her loyal maid Chun Tao, her guard Rong Chun, and her younger sister Gu Rongxin being brought in as prisoners. Her spirit lingers, watching the conspirators divide her wealth and mock her memory, filled with regret for having dismissed the genuine care of her third-branch sister and for trusting the wrong people.

Before her consciousness fades completely, the Crown Prince, Ye Muyan, arrives with his elite guards. He had been secretly protecting her from afar, driven by a deep, obsessive love that he had hidden for years. He rescues Gu Qinghan from the brink of death, carrying her back to the Eastern Palace. There, she discovers the extent of his devotion: a room filled with portraits and garments of hers, and a protective presence that had silently eliminated those who threatened her. Ye Muyan confesses his love, and in that moment of vulnerability, Gu Qinghan kisses him, only to fall into a deep unconsciousness.

Gu Qinghan awakens six months in the past, just before her wedding. Realizing she has been reborn, she immediately changes her demeanor. When Gu Xu attempts to bully her maid, Gu Qinghan intervenes with cold precision, exposing Gu Xu’s theft and replacing her servants with loyal ones. She publicly displays kindness while secretly dismantling her cousin’s influence. She also reconciles with her younger sister, Gu Rongxin, acknowledging the sister’s genuine affection and providing her with financial support, a stark contrast to her previous neglect.

As she navigates her new life, Gu Qinghan uncovers the web of treachery that surrounded her in her past life. She learns that Chundie, the owner of the Lotus Bud Pavilion she had once saved, had been manipulated by Gu Xu and had betrayed her. She also discovers that the Crown Prince had been fighting a secret war against the Grand Prince and other enemies, suffering in silence to keep her safe. In a dream, she witnesses Ye Muyan’s brutal interrogation of those who had harmed her, realizing the depth of his sacrifice.

Gu Qinghan begins to turn the tables on her enemies. She exposes the Second Branch of her family for embezzlement and abuse, using her authority to have them arrested by the Dali Temple. She feigns ignorance and kindness to Gu Xu, allowing her cousin to believe that their relationship remains intact. Meanwhile, she uncovers a plot involving a forbidden spice from the Western Regions, intended to drug her at a banquet. Instead of falling victim, she sets a trap, ensuring that Gu Xu and the Grand Prince will face the consequences of their own schemes. Throughout these events, Ye Muyan watches from the shadows, his protectiveness growing stronger as he sees Gu Qinghan transform from a naive girl into a shrewd and resilient woman. The story follows her journey of revenge and redemption, as she seeks to protect her family, reclaim her life, and perhaps, find a place beside the man who loved her enough to die for her.
