“What you think is a second chance at life is just a fate scripted by someone else.” Xie Mingwei is reborn at sixteen, just as her engagement to Lu Yanzhi, heir to the Duke of Zhenguo’s household, is being arranged. In her previous life, family conspiracies and misunderstandings led to her tragic death within the walls of her manor. This time, she resolves to avoid Lu Yanzhi and change her fate. But a mysterious “Book of Fate” quietly appears, detailing the tragedy she and Lu Yanzhi suffered in their previous life and even predicting every choice she will make in this one. Xie Mingwei realizes that her rebirth is part of a carefully designed scheme, and that she is merely a pawn in someone else’s story.
Lu Yanzhi has also returned from the dead. He appears gentle and refined, but is actually a deep schemer. He had planned to use his memories of his previous life to change his fate, but accidentally discovers the Book of Fate. Even more shocking, his life is being controlled by someone else, and even his feelings for Xie Mingwei are part of the book’s script.
As suspicion and tests gradually bring them closer, the two join forces to uncover the truth behind the Book of Fate. But one conspiracy follows another: her half-sister Xie Mingyao secretly manipulates the book in an attempt to take everything from Xie Mingwei; Lu Yanzhi’s mother uses the book as a blade to sever their romance in order to seize control of the family. More terrifying still, a mysterious organization lurks behind the scenes, seeking to control the world by manipulating the Book of Fate.
This is a struggle over fate, power, and true love, as well as a fight to break free from their constraints and rewrite their lives.
