In her previous life, Song Nianxi took her younger sister's place and married Prince Jing, He Ting, who had returned victorious from war but was afflicted with a strange poison.
After their wedding, she cared for her husband's health and diligently managed the household. At last, the day came when his poison was cured and he recovered, but all she got was his promise to "remember her kindness" and his resolute departure for the northern frontier.
Song Nianxi knew He Ting felt no affection for her as his wife. Only later did she learn that he was in such a hurry to head north because he wanted to see the woman he loved, his childhood sweetheart and unattainable ideal.
Perhaps it was better this way for a married couple who were strangers with nothing in common. At least she had her title as princess consort, enough to live out the rest of her life comfortably.
But she barely had a few days of peace before Song Nianxi fell seriously ill from overexerting herself while caring for He Ting, and died.
**
When Song Nianxi opened her eyes again, she had returned to the years before He Ting came back to the capital, when she was still too young for her coming-of-age ceremony.
Thinking of all the exhausting days and nights from her previous life, and of He Ting's cold face, Song Nianxi rolled her eyes. I'm done looking after him.
First, she "accidentally" revealed the antidote formula she knew by heart to her stepsister, who had feelings for He Ting but was too afraid of his strange poison to marry him. She hoped her stepsister would take the marriage that had been meant for her. Then, under the pretext of "praying for her late mother," she tried to leave the capital for several months and lie low at a villa in the suburbs.
Everything went smoothly, until one day, while strolling outside the villa, she ran into He Ting, who had also come there to recuperate.
Song Nianxi was baffled. By her calculations, even without the imperial decree arranging their marriage in this life, He Ting should still be bedridden and recovering. So why did he look so full of energy?
**
The northern campaign ended in a great victory, and He Ting returned triumphantly to the capital, afflicted with a strange poison. Whenever it flared up, he lost his senses and felt worse than dead.
He could endure the pain of the poison, but during one of its occasional outbreaks, He Ting began seeing a strange woman in his hallucinations. At first he paid it no mind, but then inexplicable fragments began appearing in his mind, along with an antidote formula. As each one was confirmed, He Ting realized none of it was a coincidence.
He had to find her!
#The heroine is reborn, while the hero gradually regains memories of his previous life during bouts of the poison
#There was another reason the hero went to the northern frontier in his previous life. The misunderstanding will be cleared up
