Reborn, Feng Huaiyu heard one promise: "I will take you as my bride and offer you my kingdom." She wagered her whole life on him. Then an accident at a banquet left them both helpless, one a God of War, the other a crown princess.
Drenched in sweat, Feng Huaiyu was about to cut her thigh with a knife when Emperor Chu Lin, his face just as flushed, stopped her.
"If you're really afraid I'll force myself on you, use the back door. I don't know if anyone's out there, but it's the only way out."
Feng Huaiyu: "What about you?"
Emperor Chu Lin: "You can send someone to rescue me, too."
Even the mighty God of War had a day when he needed rescuing.
Feng Huaiyu stumbled toward the back door, only to return looking helpless. "There's someone out there."
Panting, she looked at the equally tormented man across from her and thought, This must be fate.
By the next morning, neither of them was innocent anymore.
Emperor Chu Lin wanted to take responsibility, but Feng Huaiyu refused.
So the emperor issued an imperial decree the very next day.
"They are to be married!"
