Whenever Lin Jiawan wakes from a nightmare, she remembers her past life. She gave up everything for the one she loved, lowering herself into the dirt just to stay by his side forever.
That taciturn, undefeated man used to ache at the sight of her tears, but in the end, he granted her a cup of poisoned wine for the sake of power.
When she is reborn, the dynasty has already changed, and she has become the third princess of the Yan Kingdom. Determined to seize control of her own fate, she follows the Empress Dowager's orders and goes to the Yellow Sand Prison to find a Jie slave.
By the flickering light of a bean-oil lamp, she unexpectedly sees the face from her past life. He is young, but his gaze is cold and resolute, as if he were born to be a god of war.
After testing him several times, Lin Jiawan decides to raise him by her side and train him carefully, turning him into a sword in her hand.
※
It is said that the third prince of the Great Shun is bloodthirsty and brutal despite his young age, undefeated in battle, and the person Great Yan fears most.
He sneaks into Great Yan's Yellow Sand Prison and sees a graceful woman approach. Her jade-white hand lifts his chin, her eyes reddening.
She has many pieces on the board, and he is only one of them.
So what?
He will become the strongest, most loyal, irreplaceable piece of all.
Even if she tempts him, deceives him, and betrays him, it is still better than her never looking at him again in this life.
[Content warnings]
1. A charming, scheming princess and a loyal, stern general. In their past life, the male lead was older than the female lead; in this life, she is older than him.
2. After being reborn, the female lead is not a traditionally good woman. She has ambition, schemes, and pretends to be weak.
3. In his past life, the male lead treated the female lead badly and died with regrets. This time, his feelings are intensely one-sided. Not sure if this counts as a pursuit-after-regret story.
