A nontraditional gender-bender story about being reborn and pursuing a lover through a “crematorium” of regret.
Male Lead One:
The Imperial Tutor who stayed by the female lead’s side from the time she was a princess to the day she ascended the throne. He taught her to read, fight, and govern, but never taught her how to love.
“Your Majesty, you don’t love me. You’ve simply mistaken dependence for love.”
Male Lead Two:
A man of mysterious origins who personally killed the female lead in her previous life. What she will never know is that he took his own life right after killing her.
“He’s waiting for you. Go quickly. Just don’t forget to come back again.”
Male Lead Three:
A prince of the northern border, sent to the female lead after being caught up in a conspiracy, but ultimately chose to leave.
“I respect you and love you. That is exactly why I can’t be with you.”
Female Lead Two:
A goddess.
The High Priest’s most prized disciple, she detests men and never speaks to them.
Yet the moment she meets the Imperial Tutor, she comes to understand desire and pleasure, and experiences heartbreak and parting.
“The thing a person spends their whole life trying to escape from becomes, of all things, the lesson she must learn in this life.”
My name is Li Zhao. I am a princess of the Li Kingdom’s royal family.
As the youngest child of the Empress, I was never expected to inherit the throne.
But in the bloody struggle within the royal family, I eventually ascended the throne to save myself.
Not long after my coronation, however, I was killed by the man I trusted and depended on.
Reborn, I wanted nothing more than to kill Pei Sheng on the spot, but with deadly poison in my body and no antidote, I had no choice but to play along with him.
I wanted to use the Imperial Tutor to wipe out Pei Sheng’s faction, and wanted even more to win the Imperial Tutor’s heart and body.
Yet when everything was finally settled, the resolve I had once made became the arrow now aimed straight between my brows
