In her previous life, Jiang He was blind to the truth and foolish about matters of the heart.
She chose the gentle and considerate Third Prince, Xiao Heng, believing she had found the perfect match. They were loving after their marriage, and she became pregnant twice, never realizing that every bowl of medicine meant to protect her pregnancies was laced with slow-acting poison. She died in childbirth, bleeding to death.
Even after death, her spirit lingered. She watched helplessly as her best friend killed her child, her father was beheaded, and her maid was violated. Her beloved husband wept inconsolably at her grave, then turned around and gathered a new lover in his arms.
The entire court praised the Third Prince for his devotion. No one knew he had the heart of a wolf.
Only Xiao Zhimo, the dissolute Sixth Prince she had once avoided at all costs, forced his way into the palace for her, killed his own brother for her, and offered the throne to someone else for her. In the end, he took his own life with a sword at her grave.
“Niuniu, let me toast you with this long-overdue drink… If there’s another life, will you please look at me?”
When his blood splashed across the tombstone, Jiang He’s soul shattered with grief.
When she opened her eyes again, she was thirteen. Cicadas shrilled in the summer air, and Zhaolu was still beside her, fanning her.
In this life…
She wanted nothing to do with the wolf in sheep’s clothing. She wanted nothing to do with the false-hearted friend. She would bide her time and build a bright future for herself, her family, and the fool who had died for her in her previous life.
But she never expected that on the day she came of age, when she walked toward Xiao Zhimo in front of the entire court…
The usually carefree Sixth Prince would freeze in public, his ears turning scarlet, unable to get a word out.
The whole hall was stunned.
Only Jiang He knew how much warmth was hidden beneath his seemingly hopeless exterior.
