Reborn at fourteen, Yao Zhuohuang swore she would never repeat the mistakes of her past life.
In her previous life, she spent five years as empress in the inner palace, only to be poisoned to death.
This time, she played the spoiled girl, broke off her engagement, and even tried to match the crown prince with her cousin. Instead, she stumbled upon shocking secrets: a pregnant woman in the Eastern Palace's secret chamber, a deadly plot behind the Noble Consort's marriage decree, and a bloodstained longevity lock hidden beneath her childhood friend General Pei Zhaoming's armor…
Mo Linyuan's eyes were bloodshot. “Zhuohuang, I offer you the realm as my betrothal gift. You can't escape this game.”
Pei Zhaoming snapped a poisoned arrow in two. “All I want is for you to live.”
The Prince of Jin lazily swirled his wine flask and smiled. “Do you think you have a choice?”
Beneath Cangyun's gilded mask, blue eyes roiled. “The phoenix in the prophecy will burn the sacred temple of the Di Kingdom to ashes. Shall I use my fate to conceal Heaven's secrets for you, even if it costs me my life?”
She crushed the soul-calming incense and smiled, her face as poisonous as a peony. “You're all wrong. This time, I'm the one moving the pieces.”
Rebirth + a scheming heroine VS a deranged crown prince, with everyone caught in a deadly love triangle.
When the soul-locking formation is activated again, who is the real prisoner?
