In her previous life, Nan Gong Yaya, a bandit-born crown princess, was hung above the city gate with both legs broken, her flesh torn and bloody.
She watched her parents die horribly and her entire Yan Mountain stronghold be slaughtered before finally seeing Crown Prince Chu Jing for the snake-hearted man he was.
Ten years of marriage, all a joke. She was nothing but a pawn Chu Jing used to weigh his options and seize his royal uncle’s military power.
The irony was that the man who had stood in for the crown prince at the wedding that year was the royal uncle. He was the one who had been schemed against and used, and he was still the one who stormed the palace alone for her in the end, staining its gates with his blood.
Everyone said that Prince Regent Chu Rongxun was consumed by ambition. No one knew that this renowned Northern Liang war god had always loved and silently protected only her, even though he was her royal uncle.
In her previous life, she was blinded by false tenderness. She hated him, avoided him, and hurt him, personally pushing the only man who loved her into a desperate situation.
Amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood, he bent down to search carefully for her severed limbs, toppled the court for her, and finally died at the palace gates, pierced by countless arrows.
As he lay dying, his belated words, “I’m sorry. I came too late,” became her eternal obsession and regret.
Carrying a boundless hatred and endless remorse, she was reborn in a blood-soaked return to the night of her wedding.
This time, she tears up the marriage contract and flees that very night, vowing to rip away the crown prince’s hypocritical mask, protect her clan, and exact her revenge!
The road ahead is full of treacherous schemes and hidden dangers, but she plans carefully at every step and turns the tables against the odds.
Anyone who wrongs her in this life will pay a hundredfold!
And that royal uncle, so devoted yet so lonely, will have her rushing to him this time, making up for what she owed him in her previous life and keeping him safe!
