Synopsis

My uncle was drugged with aphrodisiac powder by a spy and stumbled into my tent.

Though I had feelings for him, I didn’t take off my clothes and become his cure.

I watched coldly as he nearly burst from the torment, then resolutely walked out of the tent.

My uncle didn’t know that I had already died once.

In my previous life, when the spy set him up, I didn’t stop to think and offered myself as the cure.

When his childhood sweetheart, a woman general, found out, she rode away from the camp with red-rimmed eyes and eventually fell from a cliff.

My uncle showed no reaction in public, but on our wedding day, he ruined my reputation by accusing me of being pregnant before marriage. I was stripped of my place in the royal family.

In the end, I died a miserable death in the back courtyard of the manor. A heavy snowfall buried me and the child in my womb, and we froze to death.

When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day my uncle was set up!
