Ten years ago, he was the most exalted crown prince in the capital, and she was a merchant’s daughter sent from Jiangnan.
He promised her forever, only to abandon her on the eve of his coronation.
She died consumed by hatred, leaving only these words: “If I’m granted another life, I’ll make sure we never meet.”
Ten years later, she is reborn in the body of her enemy’s daughter. She watches him hold another woman and call out to someone else’s child.
He tests her again and again, disappointed each time, yet he can’t shake the feeling that her eyes are all too familiar.
Until one day, he corners her against a wall. Tears streaming down her face, she cries, “Your Highness, what will it take for you to leave me alone?”
He trembles all over, finally certain: she has returned.
