In her previous life, Wen Ruxu personally killed the faithless emperor, Xiao Ze.
“Axu, I wronged you. I failed to keep my promise.”
“In that case, pay with your life!”
Reborn at the beginning of the tragedy, she swore to sever their ill-fated bond and live a peaceful life, never repeating the same mistakes.
But her family forced her into marriage, and with nowhere else to turn, she had no choice but to use his help to escape.
She thought that once she fled her cage, they could forget each other. Little did she know that Xiao Ze had changed completely in this life.
The impoverished young man, once cold and unfeeling, was now obsessively devoted to her alone, pursuing her at every turn until he was nearly mad.
She pretended to humor him while secretly plotting, focused only on escaping his control.
When they met again, she stood on the opposing side, now his most deadly adversary.
“Wen Ruxu! Do you hate me so much that you would follow him and make me your enemy?”
“Don’t flatter yourself! Why can’t I be doing this for my own sake?”
Wen Ruxu knew perfectly well that even if Xiao Ze seized the throne, she would be no more than one of his many concubines.
And when he found a new love one day, he still wouldn’t let her go.
Why shouldn’t she fight for a future of her own?
Xiao Ze secretly vowed to make this heartless woman return obediently to his side, never able to escape again for the rest of her life.
