Rong Xian is the saintess of the Chihe Tribe, able to see through the desires and morality people conceal in their hearts.
Yet she alone cannot see the true feelings of the person fate has chosen for her.
For Fu Changyin, Rong Xian left her people and willingly became a blade in his hand, bathing herself in blood until she became the fearsome female demon whose name made people tremble.
When Fu Changyin finally got what he wanted, Rong Xian, who should have stood with him at the very top, was instead thrown into a lightless dungeon.
Fu Changyin gouged out her eyes with his own hands. She screamed and demanded to know why.
He merely smiled indifferently.
"I'm sorry. I had no choice but to do this to save Xi'er. I wronged you."
Rong Xian, her face streaked with blood and tears, threw her head back and laughed.
So it had all been a carefully plotted, complete deception, all to save the girl he loved and longed for.
She had prided herself on seeing through everyone, yet she couldn't even see the true feelings of the man she loved!
Reborn and finally awake from her dream, Rong Xian didn't hesitate for a moment before climbing out the window and fleeing.
Later, Fu Changyin was stripped of his position and driven from the capital, abandoned by everyone.
Fu Changyin crawled to Rong Xian's feet. "A Xian, everything was my fault. I regret it."
But Rong Xian remained unmoved. "Thirty percent regret, seventy percent fear of death. Fu Changyin, you've truly disappointed me."
Fu Changyin stared in disbelief at Rong Xian, who held a long sword and walked toward him step by step.
Fu Changyin: "No... You used to... be unable to see through me."
Rong Xian sneered. "I couldn't see through you before because I loved you. But now I can see your little schemes perfectly clearly."
"Why?"
"Because now, in my eyes, you are nothing!"
Reader's guide:
1. One-on-one romance, happy ending, both leads sexually inexperienced.
2. The female lead has a golden finger that lets her see people's desires and emotions (for some reason, it sometimes stops working).
3. Both the female lead and her ex-husband are reborn. Whether she changes male leads... depends on how things go.
