Seven Days Back from the Dead: The Unhinged Emperor Begs Me Not to Die

[Ice-cold beauty heroine x obsessive, devoted emperor hero, regret and groveling + a brutal wife-chasing showdown]“After running her through the heart with his own sword, he held her corpse for three days and nights.”

On their wedding night, he made love to her all night long. Then he turned around and treated her coldly for two whole years. After ascending the throne, he had her entire family executed. In the end, he ran her through the heart with his sword. When she returns in another body, she finds the very blade that once killed her pressed against his throat. “Don’t be afraid. I’ll join you now.”

Everyone knows that Shen Hengyan, the legitimate daughter of the General of the Nation’s household, was executed by the new emperor. What they don’t know is that three years later, she returned in another body as a dancer sent to assassinate him.

What they know even less is that the tyrant who wiped out her family now locks her in his bedchamber every night, his eyes bloodshot as he bites at her collarbone. “Why are the scars on your body exactly the same as hers?”

Later, when Shen Hengyan’s poison flares up after seven days, Pei Yanzhi’s eyes are red as he kisses her neck and presses a dagger into her palm.

“Yanyan, this time, let me be the one who dies.”

(Seven-day deadline × dual secret identities × two equally matched lovers who can’t stop fighting) She tries to kill the emperor time and again, and time and again he hands her the blade. “Not ruthless enough. Try again.”
