[Sweet-faced but dark-hearted heroine + revenge + reborn male lead + devoted, exclusive pairing]
[A young lady unrivaled in witchcraft and poison arts × a loyal guard with two sides]
Female lead’s perspective:
When Zhou Lingju was seven, she watched her parents die before her eyes. From then on, only she and her elder brother had each other.
But fate was cruel. Five years later, her brother died unjustly in the street.
Everyone said the heir of the Marquis of Pingnan had deserted the army and fled, but she knew the truth was nothing of the sort.
She resolutely left the capital and mastered unparalleled witchcraft and poison arts amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
Fate? Gods and Buddhas?
Hah. She had never believed in any of them.
Now that she had returned to the capital, she would spare none of those who deserved to die! She would gladly pay for it with her life.
But who could have guessed that the young man she picked up would suddenly become so different?

Male lead’s perspective:
In his previous life, Mu Xu could only watch as Zhou Lingju died before his eyes.
The moment he opened his eyes again, he was suddenly bound to a world-saving System?
System: As the person closest to the chosen one of destiny, the main System has sent you to save her and stop her from destroying the world.
Mu Xu: ...
Having lived a second life, he had figured it out.
His A Ju deserved all the best things in the world. She should not have to die because of those despicable people.
This time, he would be the sharpest blade in her hand.
If this path was destined to be paved with lives, then he lived for her and would gladly die for her.
