Wen Wan was reborn.
In her previous life, she took her half-sister's place as bride to the rumored-brutal Prince Regent. She struggled to get by, always walking on eggshells, but still met a gruesome end.
Before she died, she heard his footsteps as he rushed to her, but he was too late.
Reborn on the eve of the marriage, she had just one goal: guard her heart, stay alive, and get revenge on her half-sister while she was at it.
But on her wedding night, when her veil was lifted, she saw that cold, cruel face. Something was wrong. Why did he look at her as if she were a lost treasure returned to him?
He remembered that she was afraid of the dark.
He arranged hot springs because he knew she liked them.
When someone bullied her, he had them beaten to death on the spot.
Wen Wan grew increasingly alarmed. There was something off about him.
Then, by the hot spring pool, they spoke at the same time:
“You were reborn too?”
Xiao Heng stared at her, regret from his past life churning in his eyes. “I came too late.”
Wen Wan turned her tearful eyes away. “Too late is too late.”
He pulled her into his arms, his voice hoarse. “In this life, I'll repay you with my life.”
