And the deeper she falls, the harder it becomes to see if she's surrendering to love... or to obsession. She's already carrying his secret. What will happen when he discovers hers?

Filled with hatred, moments before she died, Lu Xiang swore she would get her revenge on the people who hurt her... When she opened her eyes, she had returned to the year when she was fourteen. Although it was the same life she had previously lived, she now possessed a strong sense of vengeance. *** On a dark and windy night, Lu Xiang rescued the badly injured Chu Jinyan from his would-be assassinators. Lu Xiang's eyes glistened. "Well, well. You're someone from the royal family!" She dragged him to her house and hid him without saying another word. "There's a saying that one ought to offer their body to another after being rescued... Wait a second, I got it wrong. I think you're supposed to return the favor. Since I rescued you today, you have to agree to three of my requests in the future," Lu Xiang said. "Huh?" Chu Jinyan was confused. He hadn’t exactly wanted to be rescued... Later, Chu Jinyan patted his thigh and wagged his finger. "Come here, my beloved consort. You can hug my thighs." *** She's insidious and deceitful, while he's vile and shameless!
