The god of the entertainment circle, Jiang Nuo, who won the Best Actor award at only 25 years old, proclaimed in the latest variety show: “I finally managed to reach 22, and the first thing I did was to get the marriage certificate.”The host was completely dumbfounded: “......” Wasn't there a rumor that he was against marriage......?“Do you know why?”“Why?”“Because she is older than me, I was afraid she would run off with another man.”The first thing the certain male god did after dropping this bombshell was to hurry home to hug his wife, carefully and flatteringly saying: “Um, I accidentally revealed that you're my wife on the show today. We might not be able to divorce for now. How about we wait for a bit longer?”Wife: “......” Are you sure it wasn't on purpose?

Crying blood and tears, she pledged a poisonous vow. The gods did not fail her. She was sent back to a decade ago. The legitimate daughter of Jiang family returned from hell.

Since they already claimed that she was a temptress that wrecked the country, she shall overturn the world into complete chaos starting with her beguiling sister, her malicious stepmother, her cruel lover and her heartless family. Let her end the lives that Yama refused to end.

She was a pawn in her past life. In this life, however, the world was her chess board. With an alluring smile and a charming figure that enchanted the entire nation, the red-clothed woman wrecked chaos among the lands. She was a vengeful spirit from hell, determined to make those who wronged her pay in blood.

“You are a temptress and I am a thief.” His robe was as dark as the night and his gaze was as cold as the Northern Star. “A perfect match.”

Her red dress was akin to fire, but her heart was the coldest ice in the winter.

He was stoic in his black robe, yet he was willing to warm her frozen heart.

In this life, the elegant man seemed like a snowy bamboo grove with tall, chilly mountains, walking step by step towards her like an unstoppable force.

“Ruan Ruan, if you hate the world, then I shall conquer the lands with you.”

“What if I love the world?” She asked.

“I am the world, so you can only love me,” he answered.
