A cool-faced, adorable heroine x a boy who seems pure but is secretly ruthless
Wen Ying's beloved colleague wants to kill her.
Qu Shili treats her very well in everyday life. He's gentle, considerate, understanding, and handsome.
For a thousand years, he has taken meticulous care of her, making pear and lotus seed porridge, and reminding her to put on warmer clothes when the nights turn cold.
Then one day, they go to an abandoned residence to capture an evil spirit. Qu Shili is consumed by resentment and finally speaks the words he has kept buried in his heart for so long.
That's when she learns that Qu Shili has always hated her.
After they die together, they are reborn.
Qu Shili returns to the days when he was a little beggar wandering the streets. Back then, the person who stayed by his side and cared for him told him her name was Wen Ying.
Qu Shili smiles. Enemies are always entangled with each other, and he decides to attack Wen Ying under cover of night and send her to an early grave.
As it happens, Wen Ying has the same idea.
So, in the dead of night, each of them raises a knife.
They face off against each other.
In the end, Qu Shili backs down.
He pretends he hasn't regained his memories.
"Big sister, actually, I... I just happen to be making a late-night snack. I wanted to ask what you'd like to eat."
Wen Ying looks at him and smiles.
Good. Keep pretending.
[Bonus Scene]
Qu Shili asks Wen Ying, "Why don't you kill me?"
Wen Ying looks at his handsome face, then at the lavish dinner he has prepared. She thinks, Of course it's because a good-looking, hardworking familiar like him is hard to find in this world.
But when she speaks, the words take a different turn. "Of course it's because, after all these years, I can't bear to part with our bond."
That night, Wen Ying feels a scorching heat beside her.
She raises her eyes and sees Qu Shili leaning over her, drawing close.
Qu Shili: Wen Ying said she loves me, so I can't let her down anymore.
Theme: There is true affection in this world.
