[High IQ revengeful female protagonist × patient and affectionate male protagonist, double life + end of cycle]
Chen Jin died seven times. Every time I married Xiao Jingheng, every time I was harassed, every time I wrote the same sentence on the tower: "If I could do it over again, I would choose to be blameless."
Then forget. The cycle restarts.
The eighth time, she finally met Xie Wujiu in advance - the man who had collected corpses for her seven times, failed to raise an army seven times, and been punished seven times. He said: "I won't save you, I will teach you to save yourself."
She taught him poison theory, and he investigated the case for her; she plotted revenge, and he secretly revealed the truth. She thought it was a matter of everyone getting what they needed, until she discovered that there were thirty-two scars carved under his collarbone - each of them was a failure in "trying to save her".
"Why didn't you tell me?" She asked.
"Because you didn't believe me when I told you the first seven times," he smiled, his eyes filled with fatigue. "The eighth time, I want you to remember it by yourself."
But the cycle doesn't allow them to fall in love. Every time my heart beats, the world collapses; every time I get close, my memory is stolen.
When the truth was revealed, she discovered that the way to end the cycle was not to kill Xiao Jingheng, but to make Xie Wujiu forget her with his own hands.
