A glass of poisonous wine ended Shi Yi's three-year love affair with each other.
She devoted everything she had to that man—begging for recommendations from her father, winning over courtiers, and spending all her wealth. From the legitimate daughter of Prince Xin's palace, to the stepping stone, and then to the scapegoat. Before she died, she realized that she was just a stepping stone for him to ascend the throne, and was his substitute for Bai Yueguang.
"In the next life, don't be such a fool again."
With these words, she died on the eighth day of March in the sixth year of Yonghe.
When he opened his eyes again, he went back to March 18th of the third year of Yonghe - the day when he wrote to the palace to propose marriage.
In the bronze mirror is a beautiful face of fifteen years old, and the peach blossoms outside the window are scorching like yesterday. In her previous life, she fell in love with him at first sight in this peach forest. In this life, she looked at that peach forest and just wanted to sneer.
When the gentle man called her "Sister Shiyi" with a smile, she picked up the teacup and spoke slowly -
"My daughter doesn't want to."
Everyone in the house was shocked.
Xiao Jue's smile froze on his face. He couldn't figure out why the woman who was so infatuated with him yesterday seemed to be a different person today. He didn't know that the man in front of him had crawled back from hell to seek his life.
From the moment she refused to marry, Shi Yi took steps step by step: cutting off Hu's opportunities, tearing apart Bai Yueguang's disguise, and winning over Xiao Yan, the only Qin king who truly treated her in her previous life. She wanted Xiao Jue to see with his own eyes how the things he had tried so hard to obtain slipped through his fingers.
Until Xiao Jue asked her with red eyes: "What do you want?"
Shi Yi smiled.
"I want you to taste what it's like to ask for something and not get it."
