Chi Yingli died three times before realizing she had transmigrated into an unfinished political intrigue novel.
The first time, she was a starving constable who died by the roadside. His red bridal sedan passed by, and a laugh drifted from behind the curtain: "Throw this one farther away."
The second time, she was a low-ranking maid in the Prince's estate. She watched him smiling as he drowned someone in a pond. As a knife was pressed to her neck, he said, "Next time, choose a smarter way to die."
The third time, she woke up.
A ramshackle room, the smell of mold, half a piece of dry bread. Time had turned back to three days before she starved to death. A System called "Chong Er" spoke sarcastically inside her head: "I've been waiting forever. If you don't die a few more times, I'm going to die of boredom."
Chi Yingli tucked a rusty iron ruler behind her waist.
Fine. This time, she wouldn't die.
She would find out why Prince Pei Chudian, who laughed like a flower in full bloom, tried to kill her every time they met.
-- And as she investigated, she discovered that beneath his playboy facade, he was a true romantic.
-- The more she investigated, the more she learned that he dreamed of her in every lifetime.
-- By the sixth life, he finally cornered her in the duty room, his eyes red:
"Chi Yingli, you died five times, and my heart went empty five times. I suspect you've stolen the lives I've lived across several lifetimes."
She didn't shy away. She lifted her head and smiled, sweet as sugar and sharp as a blade:
"Your Highness, there's no need to worry. When I investigate a case, I never admit guilt unless I've caught the culprit red-handed."
