In her previous life, Chu Mingli was a pawn in the hands of Regent Pei Heng. He personally sent her off to marry into another kingdom, and she eventually died in a cold palace far from home. Reborn, all she wants is to stay away from this coldhearted man and live a quiet, peaceful life of her own. But Pei Heng has been reborn too. The regent who once watched impassively as she went to her death now keeps her by his side like a madman, imprisoning her in a secluded courtyard. Every time Chu Mingli tries to escape, he catches her. The more she longs to flee, the tighter he pulls the chains in his hands. He personally dresses her in her wedding gown and pushes her into the bridal chamber, whispering in her ear, “Mingli, this time, you’re not going anywhere.”
