How Could I Possibly Lie to You?

[Fallen high-and-mighty beauty + ruthless possession + devoted couple and sweet romance + fiercely possessive]

In her previous life, the entire Su family was sentenced to execution. Xie Huaixu’s men snatched Su Li from beneath the executioner’s blade, kept her by his side, and tormented her night after night.

She hated Xie Huaixu for half her life. Only later did Su Li learn that his poisoning and fall from his horse had not been an accident. The Third Prince had ordered it, and her father had set the trap himself. From then on, Xie Huaixu was blind and withdrew from court, bringing half the Xie family’s fortunes crashing down. After the Third Prince took the throne, his cruel policies were worse than a tiger: refugees swarmed the roads, selling their children and daughters.

Reborn, she dragged him from the bone-chilling river less than the time it takes an incense stick to burn after he fell from his horse and into the water. She fought with all her might to save his eyes. She thought that if she saved his eyesight, Shen Yundai wouldn’t break off their engagement, Xie Huaixu wouldn’t blame the Su family, and there would still be time to put everything right. She had even planned to give Shen Yundai the credit for saving him that night.

But when she went to pass the message to Shen Yundai, Shen Yundai assumed she had ulterior motives. The more Su Li urged her, the more convinced she became that she shouldn’t go through with the marriage.

But Xie Huaixu had also been reborn.

Su Li had saved his eyes, but he trusted neither the Third Prince nor the watchful eyes of the entire capital, so he decided to play along and keep pretending to be blind.

In his previous life, he had loved her with all his heart but realized it too late. In this life, when he first learned that Su Li wanted Shen Yundai to claim credit for saving him, he was so furious the veins in his temples throbbed. But later she came to him of her own accord, giving him acupuncture, keeping watch through the night, and protecting his eyes. She even declared, “How could I possibly lie to you?”

Suddenly, he wondered if she had liked him all along. So in this life, he decided to give her a chance.
