A continuation of the original story. Qi Min is frail and sickly, while domineering Qianqian trains him like a dog.
Qi Min is imprisoned by Qianqian this time. Only after she locks him up can they talk things through.
A coup topples the regime, and the tide turns against them.
Qi Min is defeated in battle and gravely wounded. He should have died, body and soul erased.
But when he opens his eyes, he hasn’t entered the afterlife. Instead, Yu Qianqian, the woman he once imprisoned, has locked him inside a wooden cabin.
Back then, he used power as a cage and love as an excuse, tightening the screws on her at every turn.
Now the tables have turned. Trapped in the cabin, he finally understands how suffocating her life had been.
This love and hatred turned upside down
is belated remorse, a shackle binding them both,
and an entanglement they can never escape in this life.
Contains lots of everyday scenes. Apologies for the out-of-character moments. The modern storyline takes place in a parallel world and can be read as a little side story.
