[Possessive Love × Substitute Romance × Three Lifetimes × Heartbreaking Love]
He used an imperial edict and a bowl of Forget-Worries potion to force her into marriage, making her forget her childhood sweetheart and remember only that she “loved” him deeply.
Every day, she prayed in the Buddhist hall, only to receive the devastating news that he had died on the battlefield.
What she didn’t know was that he was still alive. After escaping death at the hands of a ruler who feared his power, he returned from hell and allied with his former enemy, intent on bathing Chang’an in blood.
To borrow troops, he had no choice but to promise marriage and wed the enemy nation’s princess.
On the day he returned in triumph, she wept with joy, only to see a noble new favorite standing beside him.
“Princess Consort, this is Princess Qing,” he said indifferently, just as he had all those years ago.
The Buddhist hall became her only refuge from the world, but it couldn’t shield her from the princess’s jealous rage and repeated attempts on her life.
He protected her, killed the princess, and slew enemy generals, making an enemy of the whole world, yet he could never warm her dead heart again.
The emperor was furious. Her entire family was sentenced to execution! As they fled, villagers set them up and soldiers hunted them down...
When a guard’s blade finally pierced her heart, he howled like a trapped beast, and all the world mourned with him.
Only after her soul reached the underworld did she learn the whole truth. She waited three thousand years, all for a chance at another life.
But what awaited her was the bowl of Meng Po’s soup he offered with his own hands: “Anning, forget me and have a good rebirth.”
In this life, she is born in the countryside and named Shen Nian’an. She is still frail, and still able to see ghosts and gods.
The police officer who is her boyfriend and has protected her as she grew up is like a light, yet he cannot dispel the fog in her heart.
Then, on a stormy night, a mysterious, cold-eyed man appears, carrying a thousand years of hardship and obsession as he forcefully enters her life.
“My name is Xiao Yihan. Don’t be afraid. I’m here.”
