In her previous life, Shen Wan was drugged and deceived by her cousin into believing she had lost her chastity to Prince Xiao Yun. With a grand wedding procession, she married him and devoted herself to helping him ascend the throne.
In the end, however, her father and brothers died tragically, her maternal family was slaughtered, and the twins she gave birth to at the risk of her life were branded as illegitimate. She herself ultimately perished in the cold palace, burning to death.
Reborn, she swears to take revenge and make those responsible pay in blood!
On her path of vengeance, she cuts down anyone in her way, gods or Buddhas alike!
Only one man unsettles her: Xie Jingyu, the heir to the Prince of Jingbei. Whenever she sees him, she only dares to avoid him, yet cannot escape. He corners her in an artificial rock garden and asks, “Why are you avoiding me?”
In her previous life, Xie Jingyu was abandoned after being used, which drastically changed his temperament. Once, in a drunken state, he mistook her for the one who betrayed him, dragged her into the rock garden to question her, and even offended her.
After her death, her spirit lingered for three years. Seeing that he later rebelled and brought down the scumbag prince, thus avenging her, she chose to let bygones be bygones and even felt grateful to him. Yet in the end, he scattered her ashes with his own hands.
If she doesn’t keep her distance, she fears she might lose control and beat him up!!!
…
Later, an imperial decree grants their marriage. Shen Wan marries Xie Jingyu and, in a daze, consummates the marriage with him.
In this life, Xie Jingyu does not fall into madness or obsession, nor does he go searching for his former beloved. Instead, he clings to her every day, whispering sweetly, treating her with endless tenderness, and spoiling her beyond measure.
Without realizing it, she becomes immersed in this affection, growing anxious about gaining and losing it. Eventually, she becomes pregnant and gives birth.
Looking at the swaddled twins, identical to those from her previous life, Shen Wan feels uneasy.
Could it be… the one who abandoned him in her past life was actually her?
