After she was reborn, she vowed to burn all her enemies and protect her loved ones, but she discovered the most unfathomable secret of the new top scholar - it turned out that she was not the only one who returned from the cold river in her previous life.
Shen Jin, the legitimate daughter of Duke Jingguo, made a mistake in her previous life and helped her husband Gu Shanhe ascend to power, but what she got in exchange was that her entire family was overthrown and she was pierced by thousands of arrows and drowned in the river.
When she opened her eyes again, she went back to the time when she was fifteen years old and had hair extensions.
In this life, she hid her poisonous edge, pretended to be a gentle lady, and quietly made her moves before the chess game started. Breaking the engagement, saving his father and brother, and killing the enemy before he could strike, he worked every step of the way, vowing to burn everything the enemy cherished to ashes.
She had calculated all the people's hearts, but she had not calculated that that night in the imperial garden, the new top scholar Pei Xuanzhao, who was as cold as jade, grabbed her blood-stained wrist, his eyes as deep as the abyss:
"Miss Shen, have we met somewhere?"
She chuckled and pulled away: "Master Pei, the way of striking up a conversation is outdated."
But he slowly took out a broken jade huang from his sleeve - it was the only token she held tightly in her hand before she died in her previous life.
The moonlight was pale, reflecting the pain and hatred in his eyes that were the same as hers:
"So, does Miss Shen recognize this 'Mountain and River Ash'?... In the last life, when you sank into the river, I was on the other side."
Story core:
-Double life, two-way redemption: She returns for revenge, and he comes for atonement. The two people who crawled back from hell gradually revealed the truth about their past lives and the wounds deep in each other's hearts in the mirror image of each other's hatred and protection.
-A game of intrigue and mutual chess
