In her previous life, Shen Yuan’s entire family was executed, and she died by the blade of Duke Pei Ling.
Only in her final moments did she learn that the strange woman was called Gu Yuan.
They had never met, yet they died at the hands of the same enemy.
When Shen Yuan opened her eyes again, she was back at sixteen.
She made up her mind: this time, she wouldn’t go it alone. She would find Gu Yuan and form an alliance before it was too late.
But once she found her, something felt off.
The way Gu Yuan looked at her was as if she had known her for a very, very long time.
Everything Gu Yuan said seemed to hint, “I knew you would come.”
She even remembered that Shen Yuan only drank lukewarm water.
At last, Shen Yuan was sure:
She wasn’t the only one who had been reborn.
Gu Yuan had returned, too.
She simply and quietly took blows meant for Shen Yuan, killed for her, and prepared every possible escape route.
Until one day, Shen Yuan pressed her for an answer. “Who are you, really?”
Gu Yuan smiled through red-rimmed eyes. “Someone who didn’t get the chance to save you in our previous life.”
