Shiyu didn't find out until she died that the world she lived in was a book.
In the book, the male lead, Luo Li, is of humble birth. He and the female lead grew up together, loved each other, and were inseparable. But because of his beautiful face, the villainess took a fancy to him at first sight and forced him to marry her.
To save his own life and that of his childhood sweetheart, the male lead endured humiliation and bided his time under the villainess. At last, his spiritual power grew immensely, and he tore the bones and sinews from the villainess who had dared to torment him, then kicked her into the Abyss of No Return.
Villainess Shiyu: ...
Damn it!
When Shiyu opens her eyes again, she has been reborn on the night before her wedding to the male lead.
On this day, Han Congyun, the second young master of the Nether King Manor, will break into the Forty-Ninth Riverlands in the dead of night, intending to abduct and imprison her, the bride-to-be who's happily awaiting her wedding.
The dragon-and-phoenix candles flicker.
Shiyu looks at the young man before her, dressed in black, sinister and strikingly beautiful.
In her previous life, the male and female leads conspired against her, ruining her reputation and condemning her to a gruesome death.
This was the man who entered the Abyss, carried her remains on his back, and personally tore out the hearts of the male and female leads, who had become Sages, to join her in death.
Hellfire filled the sky, and all grass and trees mourned.
Han Congyun's fingers trace the hemp rope at his waist. He lowers his eyes to the woman before him, dressed in a phoenix crown and wedding robes. His eyes are red at the corners, and he smiles as he asks, "Miss Shiyu, do you know why I've come today?"
"I know. I know very well."
Shiyu was supposed to seriously wound Han Congyun with a Heart-Piercing Spike. Instead, she kicks the spike away from her feet and pulls a bundle she'd prepared long ago out from under the bed.
Shiyu pats the bundle. "You just want to keep me prisoner, right? Don't worry, I've got everything ready. By the way, can you use my rope? Yours is too rough. It hurts a little when you tie me up."
Han Congyun: ???
#Paying back what was owed in the previous life#
#Careful, imprisonment play can get addictive#
Han Congyun was born into darkness. Even the only light he ever encountered forgot him.
But it doesn't matter. He'll pluck that ray of light with his own hands and hide it in his heart. No one else will ever get so much as a glimpse.
An unconventional, healing-style, domineering and arrogant young lady x a short-tempered, crazy mother hen who is always on the verge of losing it
