Su Yueli has always dreamed the same dream. Later, someone tells her that it is her past life.
One night in a meditation room at Puji Temple, she returns to her previous life.
In the dream of her former days, she is a princess of Qi, killed in a conspiracy.
Since she’s here, she decides to make the best of it.
So she plans to change things, but ends up catching his attention instead.
He is the crown prince of Chu, a graceful young noble whom the world calls the “Pure and Transcendent Immortal.”
As the truth of her origins comes to light, a secret betrothal is revealed more than a decade later.
Was it all a scheme for personal gain?
Or were their feelings truly mutual?
She doesn’t know, nor does she want to find out. Either way, she has no interest in love.
But as time passes, she is astonished to discover that she has long since fallen into the web of his love, spun across two lifetimes.
The secret of her reincarnation as Princess Zhenyue is also gradually revealed.

Aloof male and female leads

A note for readers: The heroine’s dreams of her former days are not her past life; they depict one lifetime from someone else’s perspective.
In her actual previous life, the heroine really did marry the second male lead. She truly wasn’t close to the male lead then, though he loved her deeply across both lifetimes.
This story is set in a fictional world. For a similar setting, look in some obscure corner of history before the Tang dynasty. The eras are blended to some extent, so meticulous history buffs, please don’t scrutinize the details too closely!
