Wen Heng, a top-tier star, starts having the same dream every night after taking a role in Beacon of War in Chang’an.
In the dream, a man cries out “A Heng” in anguish. The pain cuts her to the bone, but she can never see his face.
During the final scene, the cliffside set collapses. As she falls, she finally sees his face: sharp brows, bright eyes, and blood-honed features. It’s the man from her dreams!
When she opens her eyes again, she has become Chu Heng, a princess of a fallen kingdom.
Southern Chu has just been destroyed. Her personal guard roars, “It was Xiao Che! He destroyed our country!”
She disguises herself and enters the palace as a maid, vowing to uncover the truth.
But something is off about this “enemy” emperor:
When she burns her hand, he uses his imperial robe to apply medicine;
When she deliberately provokes him, he asks with red eyes, “A Heng, do you hate me that much?”
“Xiao Che, are you really the murderer?”
He catches her by the wrist. “If you’ll only believe me, I’ll give you even my life.”
Watching the once iron-fisted emperor cook for her, and pout aggrievedly at just one glare, Wen Heng curls her lips. She’ll settle the score, slowly but surely~
Perhaps she was never the one who transmigrated through time in the first place. Perhaps Xiao Che crossed the ages and brought his A Heng back from another world.
