[Two unhinged leads + a powerful male lead and an even more powerful female lead + both devoted to each other] [Delicate noblewoman with a hidden ruthless side vs. obsessive Abyss Lord who keeps her captive]
[Love triangle warning] [Some political intrigue, not mindless wish fulfillment] [Transmigration upon transmigration, with a devastating modern-world arc]
Cheng Jiyao transmigrated to another world with no golden finger to help her. For three lifetimes, she was a good-for-nothing noblewoman bullied by everyone, and each life ended in tragedy. This time, she refuses to sit back and wait for death.
Spiritual energy is the world's most vital resource, but it isn't the root cause of the tragedies in her lives. The real culprits are an unjust heavenly order and the unfathomable hearts of men.
At a noble banquet in her fourth life, the old drama plays out again. Mo Heng, the unhinged Abyss Lord, imprisons her in a dungeon, not because he likes her, but to use her as bait for his formidable enemy: Cheng Zhaocheng, her adoptive brother, with whom she shares no blood relation.
And so the story of this life begins. One man after another enters her orbit: the unhinged Abyss Lord, her fiercely possessive brother, and her gentle, refined fiancé. Each wields immense power, but none can shake her careful schemes, step by step.
She sees all living beings as chess pieces, and even the unhinged Abyss Lord becomes the most special piece on her board.
Humiliated in public, she endures and bides her time, then turns a mission into her chance to enter the game. The cycle of fate is rewritten, and a new chapter begins.
At first, Cheng Jiyao says, “I like you, Lord Abyss.”
Mo Heng replies, “You’re not worthy.”
Later, Mo Heng says, “Cheng Jiyao, you have no heart.”
Cheng Jiyao replies, “I do. And now I have half of yours, too...”
With the memories of three lifetimes and her spiritual power layered together, follow Cheng Jiyao as she plays the fragile, pretty flower vase in public and turns ruthless behind closed doors, using a fourth faction and the rules of Heaven to outmaneuver her enemies as she and her beloved struggle their way into love.
The rhythm is very comfortable, not too slow, very stable.
