Su Qingyan had already died once.
She died on the road to a political marriage, at twenty-seven. The last thing she saw before she died was a sky full of snow.
When she opened her eyes again, the imperial decree was unchanged: marry Xihuai Prince Xie Shiyan, the famously sickly blind man.
This time, she didn't cry or make a scene. She calmly accepted the decree.
So be it. She could live somewhere else.
But on her first night inside the Xihuai Prince's residence, she discovered something:
The man everyone called "blind" stared at her for a long time when they were alone. His eyes were brighter than anyone else's she had ever seen.
Even more chilling, he slowly leaned down and looked at her with those "sightless" eyes. His voice was soft as he said:
"Princess, you were reborn to stay alive. But do you know who drove that silver blade into your heart in your previous life?"
One political marriage, two lifetimes of secret schemes.
She wanted to live, but someone insisted on drawing her into the game.
Then she would play.
In her previous life, she died on the road.
This time, she would live to see it through.
