Xu Chuchu wakes up inside a melodramatic old-style novel—as a beautiful but doomed villainess. Blinded by obsession in the original plot, her character schemed against the aloof and noble Prince of Langya, Zhao Huaijing, only to be discarded and killed after being used as a blood donor for the heroine’s illness.

Now reborn at the height of the scandal, just as a royal decree forces her to marry the prince, Xu Chuchu wants nothing more than to escape her fate. But her runaway attempt ends with her thrown into a bandit’s den—only to be rescued by a devastatingly handsome officer… who turns out to be her husband-to-be.

Determined to survive this time, Chuchu vows not to fall for the prince’s face, not to meddle with the plot, and not to let her secret slip. But the more she keeps her distance, the more Zhao Huaijing seems to close the space between them.

He once married her as part of a scheme. He never expected her to linger in his mind—or stir his heart.

Now caught between past grudges and present feelings, he walks the edge of ruin trying to protect the one woman he once used. But when she falls before him, blood staining her robes, the always-composed prince finally breaks.

He was supposed to use her. So why does it feel like losing her will destroy him?
