The day Shen Zhiyi bound herself to the Redemption System, she had no idea that every increase in his affection would bring him closer to death.
They first met on a snowy night. She approached him as a physician, weaving a web with tenderness and building a nest of lies.
He fell for her, but she received a directive from the System: [Mission complete. Withdraw immediately.]
The day she faked her death and escaped, he dug up her grave and found the "System Manual".
In black and white, it read: [Mission target: Pei Ji] [Romantic attachment prohibited].
That night, the powerful official whose faith had crumbled fell completely into darkness and dragged her back to his side, even though she had fled to the ends of the earth.
“You want to redeem me? Then I’ll break your wings.”
“You want to escape me? Then I’ll become your cage.”
When he was poisoned and on the verge of death, she risked everything to make an antidote, only for him to smile coldly at her.
“Shen Zhiyi, the System has put a price on every bit of your ‘sincerity.’”
But she didn’t know that, where she couldn’t see, he had already paved one final path to survival for her, even though at the end of it he would forget her name forever.
“Pei Ji, if saving me means you have to die, I’d rather never have met you.”
“Shen Zhiyi, if forgetting you is the only way to keep you alive, I’m willing to spend eternity with an empty mind.”
When sugar turns to poison, and redemption becomes the original sin,
who will be the ultimate loser in this deception carried out in the name of love?
