When Chen Suye opened her eyes again, she heard a familiar voice.
That's right, she was back in this place. This was her third time here, as if she'd reloaded a save file and returned to the same audition checkpoint every time. She didn't want to die again!
On the night she was summoned to attend the emperor, Luo Qingming, she made a deal with him. She would be his hidden blade and clear away every obstacle in his path, on the condition that he let her leave a few years later.
Unfortunately, things didn't go as she wished. She loved this scheming emperor more than she'd expected.
Luo Qingming, I never want to come back again. Those were the last words she left him.
