When Li Nanzhi woke from a dream one day, she discovered she had returned to the year she was seventeen.
The events of her previous life reminded her that those who lose themselves in love never meet a happy end.
So when she saw Prince Jing, Qin Yansheng, again, all she wanted was to keep her distance from him.
The first time Qin Yansheng saw Li Nanzhi, he noticed that she looked at him differently from everyone else.
Others honored him as a prince, respected him, and feared him.
But Li Nanzhi seemed to avoid him as if he were a venomous snake or scorpion.
He thought long and hard, but had no idea how he had offended this daughter of the Chancellor.
Later, as he gradually drew closer to her, he discovered that she was calm and collected in her dealings and gentle and considerate toward others.
As time passed, he began to long for the same treatment.
But just when Qin Yansheng thought Li Nanzhi had taken a step closer to him, he fell into someone else’s trap.
And Li Nanzhi happened to arrive in time to see everything.
At that moment, Qin Yansheng saw regret in her eyes.
His voice was bitter. “You don’t believe me? You think I did it?”
Li Nanzhi shook her head in fear, her body instinctively taking a step back. “Should I believe Your Highness? No, I shouldn’t...”
