[Older woman-younger man romance + enemies in a past life, benefactors in this one + love and conflict + outwardly harmonious siblings + he hunts her down in secret + obsessive, coercive love]
In her previous life, Yue Qinqin was the wife that Zhan Ruoyin's mother had chosen for him. But, seeking to climb the social ladder, she seduced the marquis and became Zhan Ruoyin's adoptive mother.
Cruel and calculating, she destroyed Zhan Ruoyin's family. In the end, she was executed by the male lead and died a miserable death.
Reborn, she finds herself back on the day she drugged him. She vows to atone, protect the matriarch, and help her fight off the concubine.
She never expected the man who hated her to the bone to develop strange feelings for her.
She wants nothing to do with him and does her best to keep her distance. She runs away again and again, but can never escape his grasp.
She says, “You know I was reborn, so you and I can never be together. Why do you keep pursuing me?”
He replies, “This ill-fated bond is the sin you committed in your past life. You must repay it, with your whole life.”
In the end, she runs away with someone else!
On a snowy day, he appears in a white robe, as if descended from heaven...
“Yue Qinqin, how much farther do you think you can run?”
