In her previous life, Shen Zhaoning made three mistakes.
First, she thought the Second Prince loved her.
Second, she handed one hundred thousand troops to that man.
Third, she turned away the one who was truly willing to die for her.
In the end, her father was executed on her wedding day, she was imprisoned until she died, and the entire General's household was wiped out.
Before she died, she heard the jailers chatting: "The Third Prince really was a fool, charging into the Eastern Palace all alone. What was he after?"
What was he after? She didn't know. She only remembered how quietly the Third Prince always looked at her, as if he were holding something back.
What she didn't know was that he had been reborn.
After his rebirth, he seemed like a different person.
He protected her in the clumsiest ways. When she went to war, he secretly arranged supplies. When she was attacked, he just happened to pass by. When she investigated a case, the evidence just happened to land in her hands.
She wasn't a fool. She began to suspect something.
The way he looked at her wasn't like someone looking at the person he had a crush on.
It was more like he was looking at someone... he had lost once before.
When she finally uncovered the commandant he had secretly killed, and learned what that man had done in their previous life
Suddenly, she understood everything.
It turned out that even after getting a second chance at life, he never expected her to repay him.
He just didn't want to lose her a second time.
