Bickering Couple + Love and Hate + Scheming Female Lead + Sweet Romance + Lighthearted Comedy
In her previous life, Xiao Jinyao, the legitimate daughter of the prime minister's household, was at odds with the cold and severe Imperial Preceptor, Chu Mohan, and they accumulated plenty of grudges. Reborn, they find themselves subject to a bizarre System: within three years, one must kill the other, or they will both explode and die. Old and new grudges intertwine in an instant.
"Chu Mohan, today you'll pay for what you did in my previous life!" Xiao Jinyao's gaze was as sharp as a blade as she sent a hidden weapon straight at him.
Chu Mohan sneered. "Xiao Jinyao, you're not even worth my attention."
From then on, at court, Xiao Jinyao tried to disrupt Chu Mohan's schemes; in the martial world, Chu Mohan sabotaged her plans in turn. Once, in a secluded alley, Xiao Jinyao set up layer upon layer of traps. When Chu Mohan stepped inside, she smirked and triggered them.
Chu Mohan reacted quickly, but in the end, her relentless stare left him trapped in a corner. "You think this is enough to kill me?" Xiao Jinyao closed in. "Today, I'll settle the score for what happened in my previous life!"
Yet after each fierce clash, moments of accidental teamwork and helping one another through danger stirred ripples in their hearts.
As they spent more time together, details they'd once overlooked grew clear in their memories, and some inexplicable affection seemed to quietly take root.
As the three-year deadline draws closer day by day, old and new grudges pull against the feelings stirring in their hearts. Will they let hatred rule them, or find a way to survive on the line between love and hate?
