After transmigrating into the body of a fallen princess, Xie Yu wakes up to find that the rebel army has already broken into the capital.
She grabs her bundle and immediately decides to flee the palace.
On the way, she discovers a sickly girl standing motionless in the street, seemingly scared stiff.
The girl is slender, pale, and fragile, with no sign of color in her face—like she would topple over if the wind touched her.
At this moment, rebels are searching the city, civilians are fleeing, and thugs are taking advantage of the chaos. It's extremely dangerous.
At this critical moment, Xie Yu hesitates for a second, but still reaches out to her.
"Follow me. I'll take you with me."
Xie Yu moves quickly. The girl looks unreadable, stumbling as Xie Yu drags her along behind her.
Half an hour later, they're discovered by the rebels.
Flames rise across the city. Mounted rebels look down from above, their armor gleaming.
Xie Yu falls into despair and lowers her voice: "In a moment, we'll split up. I'll draw their attention."
But right as she finishes speaking, she sees the leading rebel raise a hand and salute… toward the person behind her.
"Leader, this subordinate was incompetent. I failed to capture the fleeing Third Princess."
Leader?
The rebel leader known as the "Demon Ghost"?
Xie Yu freezes. Slowly, she turns to look at the person behind her.
The sickly girl's eyes are dark and deep, gentle and calm.
Firelight reflects in them as she lifts the hand still joined with Xie Yu's.
"No need to search anymore. The Third Princess is right here."

Xie Yu has offended the rebel leader Shen Changyin and gets thrown back into the palace to await death.
She trembles every day, waiting for Shen Changyin—called Demon Ghost by all—to order her execution.
But instead of receiving poison wine, she receives… a marriage letter.
Shen Changyin wants Xie Yu to marry her.
Xie Yu: Huh?
—
In her past life, Shen Changyin was harmed by the Xie imperial clan, forced to marry the already-dead Third Princess Xie Yu, and made to remain a widow for her.
Later, she was betrayed by everyone and died a miserable death.
In this life, she is reborn. She raises an army in rebellion solely to drag every member of the Xie family into hell.
But that day, in the long street lit by flames, Xie Yu—dressed in red and someone who shouldn't even know her—still grabbed her hand and tried to pull her away to safety.
Her former wife, whom she had never met in her previous life and who died early, is now alive before her eyes.
Shen Changyin narrows her eyes slightly, suddenly finding this very interesting.
