Top-tier star sisters from the entertainment industry, Dugu Qingyan and Dugu Zhaoyue, arrive in a chaotic era with destiny on their side.
The elder sister, Dugu Qingyan, once shared a deep and devoted love with the Fourth Prince, Jiang Yanxiu. But to seize the throne, he destroyed their relationship with his own hands. When he finally came to his senses, he knelt barefoot outside the palace hall for three days. “Qingyan, will you give me one more chance?”
As she passed by, her voice was cold as ice. “Once you’ve made your move, there’s no taking it back. We have nothing to do with each other anymore.” Jiang Yanxiu’s eyes reddened as he pulled the sachet she’d given him from his chest. “I’ve carried the sachet you gave me all this time. I’ve never let it out of my sight...” Qingyan turned and tossed it into a brazier, watching it burn to ash. “This sachet is just like what we had. It should have been burned long ago!”
Later, when he saw her choose someone else and realized she would never turn back, he could only sneak into the Temple of the Celestial Maiden in the dead of night, coaxing and threatening her as he pressed close to her. “I know I was wrong, but unless I’m dead, you can only be my wife.”
The younger sister, Zhaoyue, saved the Ninth Prince, Jiang Shengji, a God of War, with her own blood. But he believed slander and hurt her in a reckless fit of anger.
Heartbroken, she left and took charge of the Temple of the Holy Maiden. When he learned the truth, he bitterly regretted what he had done. He charged into the enemy camp alone, taking several blades for her, then crawled toward her, covered in blood. “Yue’er, please don’t leave me, okay?”
She stepped on his wound, her gaze icy. “When Your Highness stabbed me, did you think about this day?”
The last words he heard before losing consciousness were hers: “You’d better stay away from me. Otherwise, I’m afraid I won’t be able to stop myself from paying you back twice over for everything you did to me.”
