My Arch-Enemy Was Reborn

Xie Xiang has a dream. In it, his nemesis Pei Su is implicated in the Empress's black magic scandal and, after his family is arrested and their home confiscated, is exiled to a bitterly cold, desolate land.

Later, Pei Su dies on a rainy day in a stone-filled pit, his remains incomplete.

Only Xie Xiang runs frantically through the rain, finds Pei Su's remains and buries him. He even does everything in his power to clear Pei Su's name.

When Xie Xiang wakes, he receives an imperial decree.

The Northern Pacification General, Pei Su, will soon return to the capital, and all the civil and military officials are to attend a banquet at Zichen Hall.

Pei Su went to war in the northern frontier with his father at fourteen, guarding the border.

Now nearly twenty, he is handsome and dashing. His spirited appearance as he rides through the main street wins countless admirers.

Everyone has forgotten how ruthless and violent he was in the north, skinning and dismembering his enemies, earning him the fearsome name of the living King of Hell.

After seeing him, Xie Xiang scoffs. "Too much sharpness invites disaster."

His words land right in Pei Su's ears. Their eyes meet, and undercurrents surge between them as everyone around them draws a sharp breath.

His words show such little respect for the rising star at court that the officials tremble, afraid they'll get caught in the crossfire.

Everyone knows that Pei Su and Xie Xiang don't get along.

Pei Su hates Xie Xiang's bookish, pedantic ways, while Xie Xiang can't stand Pei Su's brash recklessness. Aside from court banquets, the two are almost never seen together.

Years later, when they meet again, they still can't stand each other.

But Pei Su has changed. He's no longer as arrogant and domineering as before, and there's none of the disdain and contempt in his eyes when he looks at Xie Xiang.

He steps in front of Xie Xiang, pinches his chin, and laughs with wild, unrestrained arrogance:

"Xie Ji'an, as the saying goes, a virtuous wife means fewer troubles for her husband. So I'm going to marry you!"
