Qin Qianxue was once the beloved legitimate daughter of the prime minister's household.
To marry Xie Ci, she willingly took on the infamy of a demon who brought ruin to the kingdom, making her way through mountains of corpses and seas of blood. She swept aside every obstacle, all to send the man she loved to the throne, pure and unblemished.
After exhausting every scheme, Qin Qianxue finally got her wish.
But on the day before their wedding, she was framed and thrown into prison.
She had made too many enemies over the years, and everyone was waiting to laugh at her.
Among them, Qin Qianxue even saw the man she loved.
By then, Xie Ci had become a famed regent. He merely glanced at her with a cold, indifferent gaze and sighed.
"Why bother?"
Qin Qianxue's mind reeled, and she died by accident in a fire that engulfed the prison.
When she opened her eyes again, she found herself back at eighteen.
Her parents were alive. Her friend had yet to be implicated for pleading on her behalf and left dead without a complete body.
Qin Qianxue finally saw the truth. On the spot, she tore up the marriage contract that had been troubling her father.
Then she grabbed her sword and left.

Xie Ci had been coldhearted since childhood, but he fell for the Qin family's daughter, who had always met him with blades.
Later, he regained his memories of his previous life. That very night, he developed a high fever and nearly never recovered.
Xie Ci caught the sword Qin Qianxue thrust at him, his eyes redder than the blood in his palm. "He was the one who stood by and watched you die, not me."
"...Don't treat me like this."

On the day Qin Qianxue died, a rare heavy snow fell over the capital. Everyone said the demon had been put down and Heaven had bestowed its blessings.
Only Xie Ci sat on the white jade steps Qin Qianxue had once spent a fortune restoring for him, and for a very, very long time, he did not blink.
