[The romance is planned out, the plot is still slowly taking shape]
In the seventeenth year of Yuanhe, Prince Duan Li Jinyue's rebellion failed, and he was sentenced to drink poison and hang himself in his manor. As he went to his death, the only person who came to see him off was his political enemy, with whom he had always been at odds.
With his gaze unfocused and blood trickling from the corner of his lips, Li Jinyue wanted to make one final sarcastic remark to his enemy, Lu Yanzhou.
But, against all expectation, he saw a pair of eyes filled with tears and complicated emotions.
Li Jinyue froze. He never got to make his jab. He died.
When he opened his eyes again, he had returned to the year his enemy, Lu Yanzhou, first entered court.
The good news: he had yet to set out on the path that, in his previous life, had led him to scheme for the throne and meet a terrible end. The bad news: after failing to win Lu Yanzhou over, he had already sent people to assassinate him.
And that was the beginning of the endless enmity between him and Lu Yanzhou.
Li Jinyue: "..."
Fine. Since there's no undoing what has been done, he might as well plan carefully and scheme against him all over again.
