Xu Weimo, the legitimate daughter of a general, was accused of "collaborating with the enemy" in her previous life. She died on the way to being escorted. The knife used to kill her family belonged to Ye Ningyuan, the young minister of Dali Temple.
Reborn one and a half years before the incident, she took every step: breaking the engagement, pulling out nails, investigating old ordnance cases, and picking out the moles around her father one by one. The only thing she couldn't count was the emperor's imperial edict of marriage, which tied her and Ye Ningyuan under the same roof.
She guarded him like a knife, but found that the knife was secretly protecting the Xu family. Until he blocked her late at night, the words he had hidden in his eyes for two lifetimes were: "In my last life, I didn't have time to save you."
Twins, unaware of each other. Her hatred and his regret were two halves of the same case. What she wanted was never just a reversal of the verdict - she wanted the emperor to step down from the throne.
