Xie Mingshu was reborn on the day she was to choose a husband from among the princes. In front of everyone, she chose the mad prince with a different surname, rumored to have murdered his father and older brother.
On their wedding night, they each drank a cup of poisoned wine, and their bodies switched.
By day, she used his body to wreak havoc at court, discovering that it concealed a secret: a “madness” affliction.
By night, he used her body to take on the scheming women in the household, terrifying the concubine and younger half-sister who had bullied her until they knelt and begged for mercy.
At midnight every day, they were forced back into their own bodies. Naked and facing each other, they exchanged information, going from setting traps for each other to saving each other’s lives.
Until she discovered that the military order which had wiped out her entire family in her previous life was written in her own hand.
Until he confessed that the man who had poisoned his beloved in his previous life was himself in disguise.
It turned out there had been no past life or present life, only a loop in the same timeline.
It turned out that every time they switched bodies, they were rewriting history.
“Either we die together, or we live together.”
“Choose, my accomplice.”
