Sheng Lingsui fell for the villain Ning Shanyuan, who was going to kill her.
One day, she suddenly woke up to the realization that in the future, she would die miserably by Ning Shanyuan's sword, becoming the first wronged spirit in his world-wide massacre.
The System arrived late and offered an apology in the form of a welcome gift: a matching love-knot bracelet that could bind her to her beloved.
One night, she came across Ning Shanyuan, who was on the verge of dying deep in the mountains. He lay in the forest, covered in blood.
Before Sheng Lingsui could even say she wanted to break off their engagement, the bracelet bound them automatically and broadcasted to everyone: "The love knot wishes you both a long and happy life together. P.S. Once bound, you share life and death."
At the time, Ning Shanyuan had her by the throat, threatening her life. The love knot's effect kicked in, and a wave of suffocation washed over her.
Sheng Lingsui sobbed, "I hate you!"
Ning Shanyuan's face was dark with menace. "Shut up, you spoiled princess."
Tears streaming down her face, Sheng Lingsui cried, "I can't stand you!"
Ning Shanyuan: "..."

After the love knot was removed, Sheng Lingsui felt that Ning Shanyuan was looking at her more and more strangely. He was probably going to take her life!
After thinking it over, Sheng Lingsui suppressed her fear and laid the divorce agreement in front of Ning Shanyuan. Trembling, she looked up at him. "I want to... break off our engagement."
The atmosphere suddenly turned cold and still.
Ning Shanyuan rested his slender fingers on the marriage contract. His touch was neither heavy nor light, but the question struck her heart like a blow. "Why break off the engagement?"
Sheng Lingsui trembled, and tears welled up again. "I... I have someone I like."
The man in front of her acted as if he hadn't heard her. His hands simply clamped tightly around her body, leaving not the slightest gap.
He deftly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and coaxed her softly. "My dear Manman, everyone outside is bad. How about your senior brother kills him for you?"

Everyone knew Ning Shanyuan didn't like the junior sister he was engaged to.
She was a crybaby, fragile, and good for nothing but her pretty face.
At night, a chain dangled from Sheng Lingsui's wrist, clinking softly.
The young man buried his fluffy head against her neck and lightly bit her skin. His voice was almost bewitching as he spoke: "Dear junior sister, let's get married, all right?"
