After Yuchi Yan woke up, she found that she was just the cannon fodder female supporting character in the storybook who humiliated the male protagonist and died early. To avoid a tragic death, she decided to strike first - kill him. But sword stabbing, poisoned wine, burning... No matter how many times she tried, he would always reappear in the Pavilion in the middle of the lake intact.
She can't kill him.
Forced to keep this "chosen one" as a close guard, Yu Chi Yan discovered that things were getting weirder amidst the temptation and humiliation: the deeper she hurt him, the stronger the hidden fire in his eyes became; when she was in danger, he saved her without hesitation; and when he was about to die, her body began to disappear transparently... As if their life and death had been tightly bound by invisible threads.
Reincarnations are restarted again and again, and assassinations are plotted one after another.
She thought she was a chess player, and he thought he was an avenger.
But amid the flash of swords and the interplay of lips and teeth, a truth more shocking than the struggle for imperial power was revealed...
