On the eve of her wedding, Yun Sheng dreamed that Wang Wanyan, her husband-to-be Xie Yun's former fiancee, had been reborn.
In her previous life, she had insisted on breaking off her engagement with Xie Yun to pursue her true love, only to meet a tragic end.
The first thing she did after being reborn was find Xie Yun from her previous life and apologize for breaking off their engagement. She wanted to marry him.
And Yun Sheng, whom they saw as the obstacle that had ruined their relationship, was schemed against by Wang Wanyan after marrying Xie Yun. Her face was disfigured, and she died.
Yun Sheng woke with a shiver. After transmigrating and getting a second life, she couldn't just die like that.
Her life mattered most. If she left Xie Yun and let the two of them be together, wouldn't that solve everything? Besides, she had never even met him.
But just as she went to break off the engagement, the peerlessly handsome man pinned her against a pillar and kissed her. His eyes brimmed with deep affection. "Little Yun, you dislike me too and want to break off our engagement?"
"Mm, I... don't..." Bewitched by his beauty, Yun Sheng leaned dizzily into his arms, thinking, I'm done for. I'm going to die.
After they married, Yun Sheng spent every day worrying about how to get a divorce.
At last, one day, she calculated that Wang Wanyan had returned. She gathered her courage and said to Xie Yun, "Let's get a divorce."
"A divorce?"
The man who had always been gentle with her showed a terrifying expression for the first time.
That night, after her voice had been cried hoarse, Yun Sheng never said those two words again.
Later, Yun Sheng had another dream. After the reborn woman killed her, Xie Yun used the emperor as his weapon to bathe the palace in blood, becoming someone who struck fear into everyone's heart. It turned out she was merely cannon fodder in a book, while he was its greatest villain.
She was his only longing and dream. A dragon's reverse scale is its most vulnerable spot, and Xie Yun's had always been Yun Sheng alone. Whoever touched her would die.
