In my previous life, I was the Grand Princess of Dajing, guardian of the realm. I commanded the armies of the land and protected my country, giving my whole heart to those closest to me, only to see my entire family executed and myself consumed by flames. The consort at my side was hypocritical and heartless, my half-sister was venomous, and the Empress Dowager’s relatives harbored sinister ambitions. Together, they cast me and the Shen family into the abyss.
Reborn once more, I return to the year I came of age. I cast aside love and hate and take up my blade again. I swear to make every enemy pay in blood, protect my family, and secure my empire.
Everyone fears the ruthless King of Beiming. Only I know that, in both lifetimes, his obsession has been with me alone. He drops to one knee, his eyes concealing the deep love and fierce devotion he has carried across two lives. “Your Highness, I failed to protect you in my previous life. This time, under imperial decree, I shall dote on my wife. I will keep you safe for the rest of your life and place the world at your feet.”
