His family drove him to his death, and he was reborn on the third day after his wedding. He wouldn’t put up with it anymore. With the Phoenix Pendant in hand and the Dragon Pendant still to find, not one person who forced the couple to their deaths in their previous life would get away this time.
For three years, Shen Zhiyi was worked like an animal by her mother-in-law, Ma Cuijin. Her sister-in-law, Cheng Xiao, framed her, locked her up, and pushed her off a cliff. Her husband, Cheng Ye, was working himself to the bone to earn money at the Daqing Oil Field, completely unaware of what was happening. By the time he rushed back, all he could do was grab Shen Zhiyi’s hand before they fell together.
At the last moment, the Phoenix Pendant at Shen Zhiyi’s chest was soaked with blood. A golden light burst forth, and a white-bearded old man said, “Go back and live once more.”
“A husband and wife share one fate. I’ll send you both back.”
When she opened her eyes again, it was New Year’s Day, 1977, the third day after her wedding. Cheng Xiao’s footsteps approached outside the door, Ma Cuijin’s curses rang out, and Cheng Jianmin’s abacus clicked away. The people who had driven them to their deaths in their previous life were still alive.
This time, Cheng Ye wasn’t leaving. Shen Zhiyi wouldn’t put up with it anymore.
The Phoenix Pendant could store things and reveal the past, but it also told them that the Dragon and Phoenix Pendants were only half complete.
They had to uncover the Phoenix Pendant’s secrets, find the missing Dragon Pendant, and reveal the true identities of two children stolen away by fate. One had been taken from her birth mother by Ma Cuijin. The other had been abandoned at an orphanage by an enemy seeking revenge and survived a fire. They should have grown up as childhood sweethearts, but greed and schemes had kept them apart for twenty-one years.
From the Cheng family to Shenjia Village, from the Mi family to the Ye family, from an abandoned baby beneath the old locust tree to a desperate struggle on a cliff, from now on, the Phoenix Pendant and the Dragon Pendant belonged together, and so did they. On the road to revenge, they would reclaim, inch by inch, the lives that had been stolen from them.
This is no cycle of forgiveness. It is the beginning of settling the score.
