About This Novel

In the last life, Shen Zhao let his enemy go because he was soft-hearted, but was poisoned to death in a sedan chair. The child in his belly was stillborn, and no bones were left. In her next life, she became an orphan of the Shen family in the south of the Yangtze River. Her mother died young and her father died fighting at the border. With only a blood letter and 30,000 taels of silver in her hand, she walked north through the snow to join the Shen family in the capital. The one who bullied her was first demoted into a slave; the one who insulted her was ruined overnight; the one who plotted against her was bitten on the neck by a poisonous snake and died suddenly in seven days. It was Gu Yan, the frosty Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, who once gave her an old sword when she was at her lowest, saying, "Although this sword is blunt, its sharpness lies not in the blade but in the heart." Later, when he became a powerful official, he broke into her boudoir one rainy night and brushed her browbone with his fingertips, "It's time to repay the debt you owe me." She raised her eyes to look at him, her eyes no longer as cowardly as before: "What do you want? Life? Money? Or myself?" He leaned close and his breath was hot: "I want you to never run away again." She sneered: "Do you know why I died in my previous life? Because I believed in your words - 'I will protect you'." He was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled, his voice as low as a knife: "In this life, I will not let you escape, nor will I let you live in the eyes of others." She was stunned, and the next moment, he grabbed her wrist fiercely, forced her to kneel down, and put her lips to her ear: "Don't you want revenge? Start with me." She gritted her teeth and struggled, but he pushed her into his arms. She heard his heartbeat thundering, and heard her tears falling on his shoulders. That night, she finally understood: the real hell is not being betrayed, but falling in love with a man who obviously wants to save you, but pushes you into the abyss.
