In her previous life, she was the cherished legitimate daughter of the Su family’s Grand Secretary. Three times, she cruelly turned away the young general who had eyes only for her.
Bound by her family, the gossip of society, and the gulf between their stations, she personally buried the only love she had ever known in either of her two lives.
Only after Shen Du died fighting on the frontier, his body wrapped in his battle robes and never recovered, did she sit alone in an empty palace for the rest of her life, consumed by endless regret, until she died of sorrow.
When she is reborn, it happens to be the very day he first comes to ask for her hand.
This time, she casts off every worldly constraint and rushes to him, no matter the cost.
But she has no idea that Shen Du remembers nothing at all of his previous life.
Clutching a love and obsession that have burned deep into her bones across two lifetimes, she cautiously tries to warm a heart that is completely unfamiliar to her. She takes the initiative, humbly and wholeheartedly, and falls deeper with every step.
But as they spend more and more time together, she suddenly realizes the truth:
The tangled love and hatred that have followed them through both lives were never just a matter of romance.
They are part of a deadly scheme that will engulf the court, overturn imperial power, and cost countless lives.
The general’s tragic death in her previous life was never simply a romantic regret.
It was fate, a political struggle, and a deadly trap closing in at every turn of the court.
In this life, she will fulfill the marriage promise they missed in both their lifetimes, keep him safe year after year, and bring every conspiracy crashing down.
This time, she will never fail Shen Du again, nor betray the promise that binds them across two lives.
