The heroine is reborn three times. In her first life, she is the warlord hero's stand-in for his beloved, then abandoned and left to die miserably. In her second life, she deliberately avoids him and chooses his adjutant, the gentle male lead, only to discover that the adjutant is the real scumbag and makes her suffer even more. In her third life, she's had enough! She marries the hero's father, the old military governor, and becomes the hero's “stepmother,” ready to crush him with her status. But unexpectedly, the hero's gaze toward her grows stranger and stranger. After the military governor dies suddenly, through no fault of the heroine, the hero takes control of everything and pulls her into his arms behind the mourning hall. His voice is hoarse as he says, “Had your fun? I've been waiting through all three lives, and I'm nearly going mad.”
