My name is Shen Zhaoning, and I died in a car accident in 2024 AD.
When I woke up, I was lying in a golden-roofed phoenix sedan carried by sixteen people, and I was wearing a phoenix crown and harem that was too heavy to lift my arms. The moment Xi Po opened the curtain of the sedan chair, what I saw was not red silk lanterns, but everything in plain sight - a procession wearing linen and mourning, and the suona playing was not "A Hundred Birds Pay Attention to the Phoenix" but a funeral song "Weeping to the Emperor."
The maid next to her knelt on the ground, her voice trembling: "Princess, Your Majesty said... That the killing god in the north only wants the princess's body. If the princess is married alive, he will massacre the city. If the princess dies in the sedan chair, he will withdraw his troops."
I looked down at my wrist, which was as white as porcelain. There was a line of words written in cinnabar on it - "Die for me, and I will allow you to be reborn."
This so-called "parallel world", the Liang Dynasty, is different from all the history books I have read. Women here can be crowned emperors, counselors can be made marquises, and Xiao Yan, the "King of Zhenbei" who slaughtered all the Turkic kings in the border area at the age of fourteen, is a legendary figure I have read a hundred times in history books.
But what I never expected was——
On the day the sedan chair was robbed, Xiao Yan opened the curtain of the sedan chair with his sword and stood covered in blood under the moonlight. He looked at me for a long time and suddenly smiled.
He said: "Shen Zhao, what you owed me in your previous life must be paid back in this life."
