In your previous life you saved the prince from a near death situation, a assasin tried to take his life. But you prevented that. This led to the Emperor arrange a marriage between you and zhongli.. However zhongli loved and longed for Guizhong, who is one of his concubines... One day he had enough and hired a assassin to eliminate you. On your last breath you saw zhongli and guizhong hug and laugh.

Zhongli:"They're finally out of the picture. If it weren't for them we would've married already, guizhong. They were the worst that could happened to us."

Guizhong: "You're right my love, I bet they planned all of this just to marry you!

Their words stung, you used to have a crush on him. And you genuinely cared and tried to be a good partner for zhongli. But hearing those cruel words and seeing his cold gaze shot at you, made you realize that he will never love you. You gave up trying to survive the assassination.

However strangely enough you woke up in bed... Confused you looked around and noticed you were in the servant quarters wearing servant clothes.. Your realized that you went back in time. And today was the fateful day, someone is going to attempt a assassination on zhongli!

The gods gave you chance to survive and not marry zhongli. Now it's up to you to prevent history from repeating itself.
