As a noble lady of the prestigious Great Liang dynasty, Yi Ling’s life should have been smooth and prosperous, yet her fate took a nosedive when it came to marriage, all thanks to the treacherous Xie Hengzhi.
When she was engaged to her childhood sweetheart Xiao Shizi, his family was falsely accused of treason by Xie Hengzhi, leading to their execution and confiscation of property.
When she set her sights on the newly crowned top scholar, Xie Hengzhi presented witnesses accusing him of cheating on the imperial exams, reducing the once-promising scholar to a prisoner, living a fate worse than death. Finally, she placed her hopes on the dashing and celebrated commander favored by the emperor.
On her wedding day, however, an urgent war broke out in the southeast. At Xie Hengzhi’s command, the commander swapped his wedding robes for battle armor and marched to the frontier, leaving their reunion indefinitely postponed. Rumors swirled among the common folk:
Xie Hengzhi must secretly be in love with Yi Ling.
By the time even Yi Ling herself started to believe the gossip, Xie Hengzhi unhesitatingly shot an arrow through her heart on the battlefield, killing her.
In her dying breath, Yi Ling made two wishes: First, in her next life, to stay far away from her nemesis, Xie Hengzhi. Second, for Xie Hengzhi to meet a miserable end.
When she closed her eyes and reopened them, Yi Ling didn’t reincarnate. Instead, she woke up in the body of Xie Hengzhi’s newlywed wife.
Her vision darkened, and she collapsed onto the bed. This life is doomed too.
Moments later, she sat up in shock despite her frail state: Maybe that second wish could still be worked on.
