In her previous life.
After an accident, Nan Qingyin married the third prince, Mo Jinlin.
She thought everything had fallen naturally into place, as if it were fate.
That was until a sharp sword pierced her heart and he slaughtered her entire household.
Only then did she understand.
The so-called debt of gratitude, the so-called affection...
From beginning to end, it was nothing but a carefully designed deception by Mo Jinlin.
She was not the one destined for him, nor the one he truly desired...
After an unexpected rebirth,
all she wanted in this life was to take revenge with her own hands and keep the General’s household safe and at peace.
She wanted revenge; he wanted the empire.
Their goals aligned.
But...
Once the outcome was settled, she asked to break off their engagement.
He said, “Nan Qingyin, in my past and present lives, you are the only thing I, Mo Jinlan, have ever wanted.”
Not the empire, not the throne.
It had always been only her, Nan Qingyin.
