Yun Zhi lived three lifetimes, and in each one she was used as a stand-in for the one he truly loved, drained of all value, and then abandoned.
In her first life, she gave up her family's most precious treasure, and her entire clan was slaughtered.
In her second life, she cut out half her golden core, destroying her path to immortality.
In her third life, she burned to death in the cold palace, smiling as she closed her eyes to the joyous music beyond the palace walls, where he was marrying the woman he loved.
When she opened her eyes again, she had returned to the night before the turning point in her first life.
Looking at her fiance, who had come to demand the treasure, she smiled and crushed it. "You want it? Get on your knees and beg."
The shards glimmered in her cold eyes.
This time, everyone who wronged her would beg to live and be unable to die.
