A Pearl Unclouded

Everyone's favorite / Taking by force / A regret-filled redemption bonfire

After her revenge failed and she died, Ning Shu woke in the underworld and eventually picked up a bowl of Granny Meng's soup.

One bowl down. Delicious!

Two bowls down. More!

She drank ten bowls in all... What was going on? Her memories of her past life, which should have been wiped away, were still crystal clear. At this rate, when would she ever get a good reincarnation?

A ghost who excelled in every aspect of virtue, intellect, physical fitness, aesthetics, and labor, Ning Shu slacked off, dawdled, and came in late and left early. By sheer accident, she became the model ghost whom everyone in the underworld praised.

Then, through a twist of fate, she developed a bit of an ambiguous relationship with the King of Hell. When Ning Shu opened her eyes again, she had already begun a second chance at life, starting with being scolded.

Thinking back on everything she'd been through in her previous life, she suddenly realized that there were... indeed a few unresolved scores left to settle in the mortal world.

In her previous life, she regarded the valiant General Wei as a confidant. But General Wei ruined her reputation and besmirched her honor in public, setting tongues wagging and rumors flying.

In her previous life, she helped the lowborn Attendant Gu rise to high office. But Attendant Gu was consumed by his lust for power. He submitted a memorial in the dead of night, arranging for her to marry into an enemy nation as a political bride.

In her previous life, she took pity on the lowly, solitary Seventh Prince. But the Seventh Prince was focused on seizing the throne, and turned around to become engaged to a noblewoman from a prominent family who was at odds with her.

Three times she failed to judge people correctly, and three times disaster followed.

Now that she had been given another chance, Ning Shu would settle every last one of those scores!

Who could have guessed that before she had a chance to get ahead, the men would one by one turn over a new leaf and pursue her relentlessly, hearts full of regret?

It turned out that all that had happened in her previous life wasn't a case of a jewel hidden in the dust. It was simply that they...

weren't worthy of her sincerity.

Deep in the quiet of night, Ning Shu lay asleep with her head on the desk.

A man wearing a terrifying ghost mask silently entered the bedroom. His cool fingertips lingered over her red lips, then traced the graceful curve of her neck.

His hoarse voice came close to her ear, restrained yet steeped in almost pathological obsession:

"Why would you rather go visit those who are about to die than spare me... even a little of your attention?"

Ning Shu, startled awake and reflexively swatting at him like a mosquito: ?

How about I give you a big slap instead? Would Your Majesty the King of Hell care to accept?
