Gao Zhi, the only daughter of a general's family, was deeply devoted. In her previous life, her fiance went off to war, and she waited five long years, only for him to return to the capital with three illegitimate children.
In a fit of anger, she married into the Eastern Palace, where she endured three years of torment and neglect. After the Crown Prince's rebellion was crushed, she was poisoned to death by his favored concubine.
When she opened her eyes, she had become a spirit. She watched her fiance kill the Crown Prince and torture his favored concubine, then deal with everyone who had tormented her.
At Qingming, before her grave, the disillusioned man confessed the truth about what had happened back then. Only then did she learn the children were not his.
"A Zhi, hate me."
"That way... you'll remember me."
Gao Zhi watched the man drink the poison, then opened her eyes to find herself back on the day her fiance brought the illegitimate children to the capital.
Beneath the city gate, the man was being humiliated and cursed at, and the children's lives were in danger. Gao Zhi rushed to their rescue without hesitation.
The man glanced at his badly injured leg and the bewildered children, then gritted his teeth and spoke to Gao Zhi.
"Go."
"Our engagement is over."
At the same time, Gao Zhi heard a trembling voice beneath that stubborn, handsome face.
[Don't go!]
[A Zhi is so beautiful.]
[I want... to hug A Zhi.]
[I'm the one engaged to A Zhi. Why does she have to like someone else...?]
Gao Zhi: ?
