Shen Yuan died 9 times. Every time, she is the vicious female supporting character in the script - jealous of her sister, framed by the heroine, and guilty of unpardonable crimes. Each time, she was executed by Ling Chi at the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony, with thousands of people watching. Each time, she "voluntarily" sacrificed her soul in exchange for the continuation of the world.
It wasn't until the 10th time that the system gave her a real choice. She said: I don't choose.
As a result, she was "stuck" - returning to the starting point of the plot with the memory of nine deaths. She discovered that the man who always looked at her with cold eyes and executed her with his own hands had nine scars on his body. Every scar is a mark left by him dying for her.
He forgot. Forgot every time. But his body remembers, his heart remembers, and his scar remembers.
Now, the system gives her one last choice: kill him, or the world disappears. She chose the third option - let everyone see the truth.
"Killing me is worse than killing this rule."
This is a story about forgetting and memory, control and freedom. One person is willing to die 9 times for another person, and the other person is willing to bear the memory of 9 deaths. If this isn't love, what is?
