[Interstellar Mecha] [Rebirth] [Ex Chases Wife Into the Crematorium] [Second Male Lead Takes the Crown]
Fan Li, heir to the empire, is a dazzling yet thorny rose. Her beauty is striking, but with a mecha at her controls, she can take an enemy's life in an instant.
She is the empire's god.
Fan Li and Jiang Helin, the empire's marshal, have been in love for seven years. They are a devoted couple and a celebrated love story.
Then a coup breaks out. The empire wins, but Jiang Helin mysteriously disappears. Fan Li happens to be away on another battlefield, and returns to the terrible news that her fiance has gone missing.
She keeps her plans hidden and bides her time for three years, doing everything in her power to win a spectacular victory. At last, she finds her missing fiance.
But what she finds is bound to disappoint her. Jiang Helin has returned, but he has brought a woman with him:
Cui Lanlan, the only daughter of the marshal of the Federation's Second Military District.
Cui Lanlan has delicate features and speaks softly. She seems as though a gust of wind could knock her over, inspiring people's sympathy.
She is the complete opposite of Fan Li, who has always been proud and carefree.
Fan Li returns in triumph and sits alone in the hall, while her subordinates celebrate the marshal's return outside. Through the hall doors, Jiang Helin looks at her with dark eyes and says, "It was really an accident. I..."
Fan Li holds a long sword, her presence as fierce as fire, stunningly beautiful. "Get out."
Jiang Helin tries to argue, but Fan Li has already charged at him with her sword. Cui Lanlan takes the opportunity to attack from behind, driving a knife through Fan Li's heart.
That day, heavy snow fell over the empire, turning Jiang Helin's hair white.
*
A single blow sends Fan Li back four years.
When her father asks who she wants as her fiance, for the first time she looks at someone other than Jiang Helin.
The peerlessly beautiful princess lowers her lashes and looks toward the first marshal, known as the Federation's leader, seated among the guests. She smiles. "Pei Yanci, leader of the Federation. Your face is as lovely as an immortal's. You are a perfect match for me."
In the dead silence, the bewitchingly beautiful man seated among the guests meets her gaze. His eyes hold the mysterious currents of a river. "It would be my honor."
Theme: Even in death, a hero's noble spirit endures, and he has no cause to feel ashamed among the living.
