In her previous life, Shen Qianshuang died during the coldest winter in Dasheng.
The disgraced General Who Guards the North drew her last breath in the Cold Palace. The one who closed her eyes was Xiao Yan, the Regent Prince she had hated for three years.
He buried her with the honors due to a prince, then took poison and died on the very same day.
When she opened her eyes again, she was back on the day she returned victorious from the campaign. The Northern Di king's head was still in her hands, the Shen family had yet to fall, and there was still time to change everything.
This time, she would say to the Regent Prince, the man with a knife hidden behind his smile:
“Shall we join forces?”
Xiao Yan looked at the woman who had refused to bow her head until death in her previous life, and slowly smiled.
“If the general asks, how could I refuse?”
They thought that with two reborn people working together, no one in the realm could stand against them.
Until the young emperor they had helped into power revealed his true smile on the Dragon Throne:
“I've been waiting for this day for two lifetimes.”
