Made for Each Other, Blessed by All

Scheming, sweet-faced illegitimate daughter x a treacherous, calculating rebel

In her previous life, Zhao Shutong rose from illegitimate daughter to honored lady after saving the Marquis of Dingbei's life.

But no one knew that it was her legitimate elder sister, not the fraud Zhao Shutong, who had saved him. Nor did they know that becoming the marquis's wife was a poisoned chalice.

Pei Jiuyi was a madman. He murdered his father and brother to seize power, and was ambitious enough to set his sights on the throne.

Cold by nature, the only warmth in his heart was the image of a woman in white from years ago: her legitimate elder sister.

But her elder sister did not love him. She loved Pei Jiuyi's brother.

How laughable. She pretended to love him, he actually loved her, and she loved his brother.

On the day Pei Jiuyi rebelled, her lies were exposed as well. With nowhere left to turn, she plunged a sword into his chest and dragged him with her into the raging blaze of power.

At least... she had done the world a good deed...

When she opened her eyes again, her elder sister had yet to save Pei Jiuyi. Thank goodness, she had been given the chance to make her lie come true. Zhao Shutong was still incorrigible, and intended to save Pei Jiuyi first.

But what she saw was a pair of icy eyes. The man gripped her outstretched fingertips and smiled coldly.

"Zhao Shutong, you really won't take the road to heaven when it's open... You insist on barging into hell when its gates are shut."

What a small world. She hadn't expected him to be reborn too.

In his previous life, Pei Jiuyi had lived by the sword's edge, treading on thin ice. His only lapse in judgment had been the foolish, weak woman in his household.

Until... she was an impostor, and she had killed him, destroying his great ambitions... How marvelous.

Pei Jiuyi would kill her sooner or later. Zhao Shutong coveted power but valued her life, so she made a three-point pact with him: in this life, they would stay out of each other's way. He would marry his savior, and she would pursue her bright future.

But life is unpredictable. The legitimate daughter fled from her marriage, and the imperial decree could not be disobeyed. The Zhao family forced their illegitimate daughter into the bridal sedan.

By the flickering candlelight, he lifted the veil and saw that familiar face. Pei Jiuyi sneered. "Zhao Shutong, you've still chosen this dead end."

This was, in fact, the perfectly correct shortcut to a bright future.

That woman had latched onto him again. But looking on the bright side, they were bound together once more.

Zhao Shutong: Who wanted this?
