When Yan Ran was young, she met a boy so dazzling he took her breath away. Using her life debt to pressure him, she married him. She put away her armor, donned her wedding dress, and devoted herself to being a good wife for three years.

But he never once looked her in the eye. Then he brought the woman he loved home, and they spent every night together in perfect harmony.

Because of something his beloved said, he abandoned Yan Ran in the wilderness. Later, pursued by bandits, she leaped off a cliff thousands of feet high and died without a trace.

When she opened her eyes again, Yan Ran found herself back three years in the past.

They had just become engaged. She had traveled from the frontier to Chang'an with all her belongings, happily preparing to marry him.

She immediately dug out the marriage contract she had treasured and tore it to shreds amid everyone's shocked cries.

In this life, she wouldn't marry him. She wouldn't marry him even if it meant becoming a nun. She wouldn't marry him even if she died!

But can someone tell her why, even after she faked her death and disappeared, this man is still following her around, insisting that he wants her to give him a proper status?

Gu Mingjin's wife, the heir's consort, was virtuous and widely praised. There was only one thing wrong with her:

She didn't love him.

After watching her fall into the abyss, he went mad and slaughtered every last one of her enemies. With no courage left to go on living, he threw himself off the cliff to join her in death, the end of his one-sided devotion.

He never expected to live again. This time, he would protect her and keep waiting for her to love him.

If she became a nun, he would become a monk. If she faked her death and returned to her hometown, he would leave everything behind and follow her north.

But no matter how much he did, her gaze only grew more distant. Eventually, she cornered him against a wall, tears filling her eyes as his reflection showed in them.

"Gu Mingjin, could you please let me go?"

His throat tightened. His heart was breaking.

"Didn't you say you didn't like me?" she added through clenched teeth.

He raised his head, eyes bloodshot.

How could he not love her?

He loved her so much he was nearly going mad...

Yan Ran once promised Gu Mingjin she would do three things for him.

She had done the first two, but he never asked her for the third.

Only after they married again did he whisper against her ear, his voice low and husky:

"For the third, you have to hear me say 'I love you' at least ten times a day."

"You're crazy!"

Yan Ran scratched his back and said, her face red.
