[Court intrigue + rebirth + angst + a groveling ex + past and present lives + domineering CEO]
In her previous life, Qiu Huan never fought for anything. She cleared the way for Ming Lang and helped him ascend the throne without a hitch.
She spent ten years by his side, yet he resented and hated her, never giving her the title she longed for. She endured her illness and watched him marry someone else, the two of them living as a devoted couple in perfect harmony.
Again and again, he misunderstood and hurt her, forcing her to trade her blood to save the woman he loved. Little did he know that he was personally pushing her closer to death each time.
When the fog lifted, the truth came to light.
The sword that pierced her heart was the final straw that drove her to her death. He was consumed by regret.
Given another life, she resolved to cut off her feelings and draw a clear line between them, but he kept testing her boundaries and trying to get close.
Beneath the moonlight, she felt nothing as she looked at the face she had once loved so deeply. Her love had been exhausted long ago.
In this life, Qiu Huan meets the mysterious painter Mu Yan. Is he a gift from fate or one of its cruel tricks…
Sadly, when she wakes from the dream, everything turns to ashes…
When she opens her eyes again, she realizes it was all just a dream of reincarnation.
In reality, the gentle and refined painter has become a lofty CEO, while the cold and heartless emperor has become a tender attending physician.
Mu Yan forces her to save his lover, destroys her happy family, and imprisons her for years. Ming Lang stays by her side with kindness and helps her heal and emerge from the darkness. The people in her dream and the people in reality overlap. Which version is the real them?
Has fate decreed that they are destined to be together, or are they bound by a tragic karmic tie from their past and present lives?
