Qiao Wan has always understood that she is the substitute for Mu Xiaoxiao, the younger martial sister of the Kunshan Sect, whom they found as a replacement after Mu Xiaoxiao passed away.

Despite how others said she wasn’t as brave, adorable, or smart as Mu Xiaoxiao, Qiao Wan didn’t mind that her own worth was erased. She doubled her efforts, hoping not to disappoint the expectations of her sect.

One day, the dearly beloved and long-gone Mu Xiaoxiao, the true younger martial sister of the Kunshan Sect, returned, reclaiming everything that belonged to her.

As the stand-in for ‘White Moonlight’, the counterfeit Qiao Wan felt embarrassed, indignant, emotionally broken down, she angrily flipped the table and ‘left the mountain’, declaring that she wouldn’t continue this substitute role.

For so many years, she had been living for others. Now, Qiao Wan just wanted to live her life in a dignified manner for once, and not to forget, to crush those foolish people who tried to manipulate her.

Popular idol Mu Xingyu suddenly left the drama crew and terminated his contract with the management company. Haters said, “He was abandoned by his sponsor.” But not long after, diligent netizens discovered that Mu Xingyu is the only son of a real estate tycoon. This left the haters dumbfounded.... more>>

Later, Mu Xingyu got high-end endors**ents and appeared in a big-budget film and television series. Everyone thought he relied on his father, but the investment actually came from the Gu Group. Rumor has it that the head of the Gu family, Gu Yunzhou, has a disability and is known for being cold and ruthless, a true ice-cold tyrant.

Mu Xingyu wasn’t happy with this perception and posted on Weibo, “This is my husband. He has a gentle personality and good health!”

When Fu Nian first met Chu Zhaoyi, the late emperor was still alive, and Chu Zhaoyi was still a Wangye.... more>>

But at their first meeting, Fu Nian experienced the ferocity of this future ruler.

A cacophony rang in his mind, and as the metallic tang of blood flowed along his numbed skin, Fu Nian heard that devilish voice tell him,

“Thunder and rain, all are the grace of a ruler. Just a bit of thunder, and you’re reduced to such a state.”

Later, he would hear these words again, but it would be a long time later.

“Thunder and rain, all are the grace of a ruler,” Chu Zhaoyi pronounced deliberately by Fu Nian’s ear.

With the remnants of his strength, Fu Nian struggled to suppress a sob, “Your Majesty, such thunder and rain, this humble subject… truly doesn’t deserve.”

[Opening in November]
Fu Nian’s first life ended due to poison.

Sensing his impending fate, he believed that the heart-connecting gu inside him was planted by a pitiable scapegoat, ordered by the ruler. Not wanting to implicate innocent people, he forcefully removed the gu from his heart, gasping his last breath only after handing it to the Imperial Guards.

After death, Fu Nian realized that the one who had planted the heart-connecting gu wasn’t anyone else, but Chu Zhaoyi, the one above ten thousand others. He thought of Chu Zhaoyi as heartless and merciless, someone who didn’t trust him, let alone love him.

Only in death did Fu Nian know that his master, who had plucked him from the pile of corpses and nurtured him, didn’t treat him as a disposable pawn, but genuinely cared for him. After Fu Nian’s death, his master went madly searching for medicine, going so far as to use living people as ingredients, all to save Fu Nian’s life.

His Senior Brother, too, surprised him. Fu Nian had thought that their last meeting before parting ways was the night his Senior Brother gifted him a sword.

Little did he expect that the one keeping their childhood sword manuals was his Senior Brother, and the one keeping the birthday gift he sent was also his Senior Brother. And after his death… it was his Senior Brother who clung to the jar containing the heart-connecting gu that he had dug out, crying uncontrollably.

But what surprised Fu Nian the most was Chu Zhaoyi.

He never thought that Chu Zhaoyi, whom he believed never truly loved him.

Would, after his death, hold onto his already stiffened body, gently place the phoenix crown and red wedding robes he never dared dream of onto him, kiss him devoutly over and over again, and even, like they did in their lifetime, sleep side by side through the night.

Awakening from a deep slumber, Fu Nian discovers a chance to rectify all the regrets of his previous life.

Everything is still within reach.

Before his death, the Yong’an prince, who was said to be dying, half-knelt in front of his bed, held his hand, and solemnly promised, “You lost your life because of me. From now on, I will do my best to protect your loved ones, so go in peace.”

Later on, he ascended the throne as the emperor, and indeed honored his promise to shelter Ye Yunting’s only family.

In his second life, Ye Yunting still couldn’t avoid the fate of marrying Prince Yong’an. But this time, he decided to take good care of the dying man and repay his kindness from his previous life.

However, he did not expect the man to be cured and then to be impatiently pulled into his arms.

He was held tightly in the man’s embrace: “Follow me. From now on, I will protect you.”
