Tianshi Xue was pretty sure she already died. After falling into the depths of the sea and feeling her last breath leave her body… she was sure she was going to the afterlife. But then she woke up. In another woman’s body. And that body belonged to a princess. — Tianshi Xue was a popular model turned actress. She was known for her striking looks and not-so-good ways in the business. A lot of people admired her for the lengths she was willing to go just to be successful. But a lot of people also hated her. She was not even surprised that someone killed her—or at least tried to. She woke up in the body of Princess Lin Yingyue, the daughter of the tyrant emperor from the Shānmài Empire, promised to marry the second prince of the Hépíng Empire. But because of a sudden invasion, Tianshi Xue—now Princess Yingyue was forced to marry the man she loathed from the moment she heard his name, the notorious young general, 3rd Prince Yang Qui. Tianshi Xue found herself living in the palace—a place that housed more drama than the TV. With her new body and title as a princess, Tianshi Xue was bent on trying to find the person who wanted her dead. But on the more important note: If death was necessary for souls to transfer to another body, does that mean that the princess died also? Or did someone tried to kill her too? — Photo on the cover is not mine. Credits to the owner of the beautiful work! REMINDERS: (You will be redirected here in case you seem to forget) 1.

Tianshi Xue did not want to come to lunch, but she thought that it would look like she was the one losing face if she would let the empress win. Once she stopped crying over her memories, her sense of the impending danger heightened once more.
When Howin saw her eyes, she was stunned for a moment but only bowed when she left the room and followed her to the dining hall. She turned her face away when he saw that Prince Xiaodan was walking from the opposite direction, his head bent on what looked like a letter.
"Everything good with you?" he asked once they were inside the room. "You look like you've been crying. Have you been missing Qui?" he teased.
Tianshi Xue tried to detect a single sliver of bitterness in his voice before she answered. "Yes, I miss him a lot nowadays."
"As you should," he said. "His birthday is coming up, and it should have been the first that you two are supposed to be celebrating, but here you two are… apart."
