[In my previous life, I failed my country and I will not fail you. In this life, I travel all over the world to find my old friend]
The heroine Shen Changning was guillotined by her beloved Xiao Heng in her previous life, and she died unjustly with overwhelming hatred. Once she was reborn, she found that she had become Su Wantang, the adopted daughter of a merchant in the south of the Yangtze River, and was actually the real daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo who was living abroad.
After her rebirth, she vowed to change her destiny and make those who had wronged her pay the price. However, as fate would have it, she met him again, and this time, she found that she could no longer hate him - because she saw the hidden pain and affection that he had never said.
It turns out that Xiao Heng personally sentenced her to death in her previous life because otherwise, she would suffer a more cruel execution by Ling Chi. He used the shortest painful method to save her last dignity, but he lived with the crime of "a heartless person" for the rest of his life.
In this life, the two worked together to uncover layers of conspiracies. In the end, Xiao Heng ascended the throne as emperor, Shen Changning became empress, and the grudges in the past and present life were settled.
