Blurb:

He was loyal and true-hearted all his life, defending the borders and protecting the nation without ever making a single misstep. Yet he was falsely accused and sentenced to the bone-scraping punishment.

She spent her whole life walking on eggshells, never in control of her own fate. In the end, she took her own life at the city gate, her life cut short.

All he ever wanted was for the nation to endure and for Shiyi to be safe.

All she ever wanted was for the royal army to win and for her master to return victorious.

But it all came to nothing.

Take one step back, and you have to keep retreating.

Make one wrong move, and the whole game is lost.

A single proclamation, and no one from the Prince of Nanchen's manor returned.

But what had he done wrong? His only crime was possessing a treasure, yet they killed him without cause!

He had never betrayed this world. This world had betrayed him!

Given another chance, she will turn fate upside down, crush this treacherous world of human hearts, and grind its smiling demons to dust.

If this world has betrayed him, then for his sake, she will overturn it!
