The Cursed Doll: The Vengeful Prince Haunts Me Night After Night

[Transmigrating Through Time + Defying Fate + An Ancient Jade as Their Bond + A Devoted Love That Saves] I made my soul a lantern and crossed the river of time, all to gather every shattered piece of you. Mu Rongwan, a top modern dollmaker, was commissioned by the mysterious Su family to create a doll of a Crown Prince. She never imagined that afterward, the Crown Prince's vengeful spirit would haunt her every night, leaving her soul in turmoil. Her feelings soon took hold, carrying her across time to a thousand years in the past, before her beloved, the vengeful spirit Li Chengjin, died a tragic death. She risked everything to change his fate, only to watch him sacrifice himself to protect all living beings, his soul vanishing completely. All she brought back was an ancient dragon-and-phoenix jade pendant stained with blood. Back in the modern day, she fell into a coma, hovering between life and death. She watched the doll shatter, and her dream of defying fate seemed to die with it. But the Crown Prince's soul had not been destroyed. It had become fragments, scattered across the most painful moments of his life. “He's waiting for you to bring him home.” Mu Rongwan gripped the ancient jade and set out once more on her most impossible journey: crossing a thousand years to gather the fragments of his shattered soul, one by one. “Chengjin, this time, we'll face it together.” A thousand years of waiting finally found its answer. This time, there would be no burden of an empire, no separation by death. Beneath the warm sunlight, he would hold her hand and whisper, “Wanwan, from now on, I'll be Li Chengjin for you alone.” [Reading Guide] One-on-one romance, both leads are each other's first and only, happy ending, a mutual rescue across time.
