Jun Qiyuan returned to the Fourth Prince's residence, still feeling utterly despondent.

That night, he had a dream.

In his dream, he saw a torrential downpour and two wedding processions hurriedly entering the Guanyin Temple.

As the crowd dispersed, two bridal sedan chairs were placed beneath the statue of Guanyin.

A short while later, the bridal sedan chair on the left started to move.

A bride came out, and when she lifted her veil, her face was none other than Meng Wan!

She walked to the side and gently tapped on the window frame of another bridal sedan chair.

"Miss Shen, it's too stuffy inside the sedan chair. Why don't you come out and get some fresh air?"

The curtains were lifted, and a corner of the wedding canopy was raised, revealing a face as beautiful and ethereal as a lotus flower.

It's Shen Fu!

At this moment, Jun Qiyuan floated in mid-air like a ghost, watching everything that was happening before his eyes.

This is clearly a scene from their wedding day!

Meng Wan tricked Shen Fu into getting off the sedan chair, then took the opportunity to propose a sworn sisterhood with her, and then used the excuse of bandits trying to steal the bride to switch the bridal sedan chair with the wrong veil.

Shen Fu agreed and, unexpectedly, cooperated.

He took Meng Wan's hand and led her to the Guanyin statue, where they knelt on a prayer mat and made a sworn brotherhood vow together.

He was also immersed in the joy of the plan's success, thinking that he had killed two birds with one stone.

Not only could he be with Meng Wan, his beloved, but he could also gain access to the Zhenguo Duke's mansion through Shen Fu, thus securing his own position as crown prince.

In the end, he was happy too soon!

Although he successfully won over Meng Wan, he pushed Shen Fu into the arms of the Xuan King.

He knelt before the emperor, begging until his head bled, but in the end, he still couldn't bring her back to his side.

Jun Qiyuan stared at the scene before him, his hands clenched into fists.

All of this change began on this day.

If he were given the chance to choose again, he would never let go of her hand!

It seemed as if the heavens had heard his heart's desire, for Shen Fu revealed a faint yet polite smile.

"Thank you for your kind offer, Miss Meng, but my father and brothers repeatedly warned me before the wedding that I must not get out of the sedan chair midway, otherwise it would be a taboo and cause the marriage to go wrong. Miss Meng, please return to the sedan chair quickly!"

After saying this, she pulled down the carriage curtain and said no more.

Jun Qiyuan's eyes widened suddenly, and he felt a tightness in his chest.

How could this happen?

Things have actually changed?

Shen Fu clearly agreed to Meng Wan's request to become sworn sisters and stepped down from the bridal sedan chair on her own initiative!

He was shaken, his heart pounding like a drum, and it took a great deal of self-control to barely suppress it as he continued to watch what was to come.

Meng Wan was somewhat unwilling and said a lot of things outside, trying to coax her out of the sedan chair, but the other party remained unmoved.

A short while later, the sounds of bandits snatching a bride could be heard outside.

However, because Shen Fu remained steadfastly in the bridal sedan chair and did not disembark, they were ultimately unable to seize any opportunity.

Once the wind and rain stopped, the bridal sedan chair procession resumed its journey.

Shen Fu was carried to the Fourth Prince's residence without any trouble, while Meng Wan went to the Xuan Prince's residence.

Jun Qiyuan was undoubtedly excited at this moment!

Did God really give him a second chance to make up for the regrets in his heart?

He put himself in Shen Fu's shoes and learned what the "darkest hour" meant when he experienced what happened next.

She married him with the hope of finding a soulmate and growing old together, but she did not enjoy any of the affection between husband and wife after marriage.

While he used sweet words to coax her into persuading her father and brothers to become her strong backers in "seizing the throne," he secretly colluded with Meng Wan, acting as her accomplice in evil deeds.

In the end, he succeeded!

He finally ascended to the throne, becoming the supreme ruler.

But on the day he was crowned emperor, he issued an edict that condemned her and the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion to hell.

On the execution platform, blood was everywhere, staining the entire long street red.

Shen Fu's tears had turned into blood.

Beside him was Meng Wan, who had become Empress.

They were looking at her with cold, disdainful eyes. Not content with wiping out their entire families, they threw their corpses into a mass grave at Meng Wan's instigation.

There was a pack of hungry wolves there, who rushed forward and tore the headless corpses apart.

The ground was littered with severed limbs and broken bones, and even the sound of bones cracking could be heard coming from their mouths.

Even as a mere spectator, Jun Qiyuan couldn't take it anymore and started vomiting uncontrollably.

Was that ruthless tyrant really him?

Did he really do something so cruel to Shen Fu and the entire Shen family?

No, this isn't true!

This is just a false dream; it can't be reality!

After witnessing the massacre of the Shen family, Shen Fu could no longer bear it and smashed her head against a pillar in the center of the execution platform, dying with her head bleeding profusely.

Before she died, she swore a poisonous oath to him.

If there is an afterlife, I will make him pay for his blood debt and suffer a fate worse than death!

Jun Qiyuan opened his eyes and sat up abruptly.

I noticed that it was already late outside, and the night was deep.

There were no lights on in the room; it was pitch black, with no moonlight or starlight, so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.

He lingered in the darkness for a long time, panting heavily, large beads of sweat rolling down his forehead.

It took him a while to come to his senses.

I realized that I had been dreaming!

After witnessing Shen Fu's death at the Xuanwang Mansion, he returned home and locked himself in his study.

With my mind in turmoil, I unknowingly drifted off to sleep.

Was it really a dream?

Why are those scenes so incredibly real, as if they really happened?

As Shen Fu looked at him before she died, it was as if her gaze was turning into a thousand sharp swords, piercing him into a sieve.

And the "curse" that demanded he pay for his crimes in blood and suffer a fate worse than death buzzed in his ears.

The more Jun Qiyuan thought about it, the more his heart trembled and his whole body went cold.

He had always found it strange that Shen Fu, who had loved him so much and was completely captivated by his "deep affection," would suddenly turn to another man.

How did she see through his affair with Meng Wan, which he had kept so secret?

Even if she really knew, there were a hundred ways to take measures, why wait until her wedding day to risk her life?

What if everything in a dream is real?

In his past life, he truly obtained everything and successfully ascended to the throne, but he repaid kindness with enmity and wiped out the entire Shen family.

Shen Fu's obsession lingered after her death, and she was reborn three years earlier, changing her fate on their wedding day.

That's why she made a different choice than in her previous life, turning the tables and getting into the bridal sedan chair, thus falling into the arms of the Xuan King.

All of this was for the purpose of severing ties with him and waiting for an opportunity to take revenge.

Otherwise, how do you explain how she always manages to thwart your plans at crucial moments?

Despite being extremely careful, she still managed to find a flaw in his plan.

It's as if they have the ability to foresee the future!

Is rebirth really possible in this world?

He used to never believe such bizarre things.

But now that the facts are before him, he has no choice but to believe them!
