Mo Ziling died under the indifferent gaze of the woman he had been in love with forever, Yao Yiyi, and became the stupidest stepping stone for her to ascend to the throne of queen.
He was reborn and returned to the fork in the road of destiny with the deep-rooted memories of resentment and betrayal in his previous life.
This time, he is still the ruthless and vengeful Jinyiwei Qianhu. Revenge is his only creed. Yao Yiyi, Huo Linchuan, and everyone who betrayed him will be dragged into hell by his own hands!
However, when the gears of fate turned, he accidentally saved the lowly servant Ye Hui who should have been killed by his own stick.
This seemingly inconspicuous cannon fodder, but like a pebble thrown into stagnant water, stirred up a storm.
Ye Hui, a young man who was framed by Yao Yiyi and imprisoned, has a bright red cinnabar on his heart. Under his clear and stubborn eyes, there is a mystery of his life experience that can overthrow the dynasty.
Mo Ziling kept him out of pity. He imprisoned this unexpectedly surviving "chess piece" in a golden cage with great interest, seeing it as the fun of destroying Yao Yiyi's perfect script, and as a sharp blade that would stir up troubles in the future. He enjoyed the way Ye Hui struggled between fear and his "gift", like taming a fragile and strange prey.
But he never expected that the cinnabar on the heart of this "little beast" would echo the old scar under his collarbone, and would even lead to the shocking secret of the Fentian murder case at Zhenbei Hou Mansion eighteen years ago! The curse that is connected to the same fate is quietly activated, he hurts him, he dies, he dies!
Yao Yiyi, the reborn concubine who wanted to sit on the throne and wash away the humiliation of her previous life, was keenly aware of Mo Ziling's abnormality and Ye Hui's existence. She regarded Ye Hui as a bastard who threatened the emperor's heirs and blocked her path to success, and even regarded Mo Ziling's betrayal as a great shame and humiliation. Poisonous schemes, assassinations, collusion with foreign enemies... She works step by step, vowing to crush all obstacles.
The court hall is turbulent and treacherous, and the harem is full of murderous intentions.
Mo Ziling's viciousness, Ye Hui's kindness and tenacity, and Yao Yiyi's ambition and madness, pulled by the cinnabar mole and the shackles of the "Same Fate Curse", collided with sparks of destruction and redemption.
When the blood edict appears, the cruel truth about the twin sisters tears apart the disguise;
When the gold chain is wrapped around the waist, the pain is shared, life and death are shared;
When the Jinghong Sword is unsheathed, is it to cut off fate or to cut oneself into pieces?
This is a revenge feast with the world as the chessboard, and a life-and-death gamble with the cinnabar of the heart as the bet. Can the vicious male supporting actor break free from the shackles of his past life? Can the humble cannon fodder achieve nirvana in a desperate situation? Can Poison Phoenix reach the top in blood?
Cinnabar is a contract, till death!
Purpose: rebirth, refreshing writing
