Bai Fuge was the emperor's personally selected third-place graduate in the palace examinations, a graceful and handsome young man with elegant manners.
He was also about to marry the Minister of Revenue's daughter. He was riding high, with a bright future ahead and the peak of success within reach.
But the day before his wedding, Bai Fuge had a terrifying nightmare that felt utterly real:
On the way to fetch his bride, someone tried to abduct her. The horses went berserk, the scene ran red with blood, and in the end, he was crushed beneath a carriage wheel...
Even more terrifying, every detail of the nightmare came true on the day of the wedding.
Only then did Bai Fuge realize that it might not have been a dream!
When he woke, he found himself back on the day before his wedding. He thought that knowing what came next would let him avoid the disaster.
But after he got another chance at life, everything became even more bewildering.
Abduction, car accidents, assassination, treason... More and more conspiracies surfaced.
Like the endless cycle of the Five Elements, Bai Fuge seemed unable to escape the shadow of death.
It seemed he was trapped forever on his wedding day.
"Little Scene"
Abductor: "The Minister's daughter is clever and virtuous, the finest young lady in the capital. No wonder she caught your eye."
Bai Fuge: "Oh, so you're my rival in love." He raised his sword against him.
"But the top graduate is so charming, elegant, and handsome." The abductor gave a mysterious smile. "I have feelings for him. I want to steal the groom from the Minister."
#Turns out he wasn't stealing the bride, but the groom#
