At Xianyu Tower, Shen Hengxi, the fourth daughter of the Shen family, is forced to swallow a drug that robs her of her voice and stuffed into a bridal sedan. She is to marry a dead man to bring good fortune and secure a century of prosperity for the Shen family. At the wedding hall, she bites through her tongue, drawing blood to trigger a rewind of time. Everything resets. Given another chance, she doesn't cry or make a scene. Instead, she smiles at her second sister, who has knocked over a bowl of medicine, and says, “Your hand is shaking, Sister. Let me drink it for you.” A cup of poisoned wine goes down her throat. She collapses as everyone looks on in shock, then opens her eyes again three seconds later. Her power to influence and soothe emotions takes effect. Everyone's hatred, fear, and greed become weapons in her hands. Her hypocritical eldest brother falls to his knees and begs for mercy. Her vicious second sister pulls out her own tongue. Hongyao, the housekeeper, says, “Miss, the Liu family's curse requires seven lives.” Shen Hengxi wipes the blood from the corner of her mouth. “Not enough. No one in Xianyu Tower is getting out alive.”
