Survival Guide Before and After Faking Your Death

Sharp-tongued, cold-faced, sickly schemer × sharp-tongued, gentle, level-headed man

[Was faking my death part of my plan? Were you heartbroken because you have feelings for me?]

On the day of his investiture, Yin Yun slipped off a roof beam and interrupted the Crown Prince's grand entrance.

A fateful twist brought their red threads together, binding them tightly between Heaven and the mortal world.

Faking her death = blindness + a full stack of white-hair buffs.

Across the Six Realms, it would be hard to find anyone as optimistic as Yin Yun.

But the culprit was suffering terribly inside...

They met, fell in love, and then turned against each other. Fate's red thread bound them together fast.

After being rejected many times, Qi Xiezhao finally ignored all objections and stormed into the courtyard of the Yin residence.

Yin Yun sat sideways on a plum tree branch, drinking freshly brewed plum wine. With all the patience she could muster, she warned him:

"Get out."

"No." Qi Xiezhao firmly refused.

Yin Yun flew into a rage. "Then I'll kill you!"

With their positions at odds, they were bound to become enemies. On the battlefield, they crossed swords, just as they had once before in the mortal world.

Dying wouldn't be so bad. At least it'd be peaceful.

Yin Yun, the thorn in his side, willingly let herself be captured and became his hostage.

Qi Xiezhao was unnervingly calm, as if he were used to her usual tricks. "Yin Yun, I'm going to save you. I told you, this time I won't let go."

Yin Yun raised an eyebrow. "Oh? Your Highness, the Crown Prince, won't kill me, the would-be regicide? How unusual."

Qi Xiezhao was utterly earnest. "You know perfectly well I can't bear to lose you."

From the moment their fates became entwined, Yin Yun had no chance of escaping this painful predicament.

Loving and hurting each other was a road she had to take.

Blindness, betrayal, bereavement... They were accidents, but also trials arranged by fate.

[Revenge is her only guide to survival.]
