In my previous life, I gave everything to raise three ungrateful beasts, only to die a miserable death in an icy abyss. Reborn, I pretend to indulge the traitors while keeping them under my thumb at every turn. Then I take in the most savage abandoned beast in the wilderness, driving every cold-blooded beast-husband mad with love for me and making them atone for their sins.
Jin Yan | Black Panther [Mastermind of the betrayal in her previous life]
Cold, domineering, taciturn, and quick to anger, he is the strongest fighter of them all. In her previous life, his warped pride and jealousy of her kindness toward others led him to betray her. Reborn, he is consumed by regret, obsessive and abjectly humble. He puts aside all his pride and willingly lets her command him, with a dangerously possessive streak.
Ci Yuan | Nine-Tailed Snow Fox [Plotter in her previous life]
Beautiful and gentle on the outside, selfish and vicious within, he excels at illusion magic. In her previous life, he was the best at keeping up appearances. He tricked her into handing over a great deal of spiritual power, then personally imprisoned her as she lay dying. Reborn, he tears off his mask. Intensely jealous and cunning, he uses every means at his disposal to claim her attention.
Yun Che | White Eagle [Accomplice in her previous life]
Proud and aloof, with a tough mouth and a soft heart. In his previous life, he resented her out of spite and blindly joined the betrayal. Reborn, he bitterly regrets what he did. Of the four, he is the best at acting vulnerable and seeking affection. He only wants her to stop being angry, and has no pride left at all.
Li Xuan | Black-Eyed Giant Python [Her only protector, the hidden male lead]
A mixed-blood abandoned beast who cannot freely take human form, he has spent years trapped in an arena, covered in scars and brimming with bloodlust. In her previous life, she helped him on a whim just once, and he worshipped her as a goddess. After she died, he slaughtered all her enemies and died for her. The only one who was reborn against his will, he is solitary and sensitive, murderous toward everyone else but gentle and obedient with her. He is her hardest blade and safest harbor.
