[Noblewoman reborn + change her fate + marriage before love + both leads are chaste + devoted husband]
She is the legitimate daughter of the Chancellor's household, and she gets her wish of marrying her childhood sweetheart, Chu Yunchen, the General of Weiyuan.
On the very first day of their marriage, Chu Yunchen leaves for war.
From the day he leaves, Xia Ziyi has the same dream every night:
In the dream, Chu Yunchen shoots her through the heart for another woman.
She doesn't believe the dream will come true.
A year later, Chu Yunchen returns in triumph with the female physician Su Ningshuang.
Though Chu Yunchen takes Su Ningshuang as a concubine, at first he treats Xia Ziyi as he always has.
So Xia Ziyi treats Su Ningshuang with gracious tolerance, too.
But the dream still comes true. Chu Yunchen lets his beloved concubine Su Ningshuang poison Xia Ziyi to death.
When Xia Ziyi opens her eyes, she's back on the day of her wedding ceremony.
Reborn, Xia Ziyi finally wakes up to the truth. She throws off her veil and makes a scene, demanding to break off the engagement.
The wedding never takes place, and she incurs the emperor's displeasure.
Since she can't break off the engagement, she sets her sights on Xiao Jinyan, the peerlessly handsome Prince Regent.
She goes to great lengths to seduce him, and everyone says the Chancellor's daughter has gone mad.
How dare she provoke the Prince Regent, a bloodthirsty and ruthless man?
Xia Ziyi doesn't care and clings to Xiao Jinyan every day.
She weeps pitifully in front of him. “I'm afraid General Chu will kill me, Jinyan.”
