Nan Xi died in the fourth year after becoming the wife of General Zhiyuan. Her own husband shot her dead on the city wall, and even before she died, all she saw was him running toward that dazzling figure in the distance.
She had thought that they treated each other with respect and lived in harmony as husband and wife.
Until she saw the man who had always been so cold acting gentle as water toward the daughter of an old acquaintance, his eyes filled with laughter.
So he could smile after all.
Reborn, Nan Xi only wants to stay alive and be free. But for some reason, this man keeps closing in on her. How can he expect to have it both ways? Those scenes sting her eyes.
Nan Xi agrees to everything on the surface, then finally finds a chance to leave without looking back.

Chu Yanchuan, the General Zhiyuan, was once as radiant as jade and as elegant as a fine tree. But after he was framed and injured in both legs, he fell from grace, his temperament growing ever more sinister and terrifying.
The emperor decreed his marriage, and he was forced to yield. He grew even more disgusted with the wooden-faced woman.
Then, after an accidental moment of closeness, he discovered that whenever he drew a little nearer to her, he felt more at ease, and even the headaches that had plagued him for years improved.
Once, then twice, Chu Yanchuan found all sorts of excuses to get close to her. Just as he was preparing to tell her he wanted to spend the rest of their lives together, she disappeared!
Only then did he realize that his wife had been secretly planning to run away all along.
Chu Yanchuan ground his back teeth and swore to bring her back.
When he finally caught up with her, he saw her smiling brilliantly at another man, while treating him with nothing but icy indifference.
At that moment, Chu Yanchuan panicked completely...

Short scene:
Nan Xi: "I heard Miss Yin'er was crying today. Husband, go comfort her."
Chu Yanchuan frowned. "That could give rise to rumors. It wouldn't be appropriate."
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, Nan Xi invited them both to the courtyard and smiled. "People miss their families all the more during the holidays. General, you and Miss must have many happy memories together. I have things to attend to in my courtyard, so please go on enjoying the moon."
But the moment she stepped inside, someone cornered her against the wall. Chu Yanchuan gripped her waist, his gaze dark and deep. "Are you pushing me away?"
Nan Xi said, "I've just been busy lately, and I was worried you might be lonely."
In the end, Nan Xi and Chu Yanchuan spent the whole night without sleep.
Chu Yanchuan: "Are you still lonely, my lady?"
Nan Xi: "... (My waist hurts...)"
