"You can explain it to me in your own way, no need for those tricks, I don't have time to talk to you about these useless things."

Murong Lie's patience was almost exhausted.

He suddenly remembered that in his past life, he seemed to have seen this woman before, and this woman had also tried to seduce him.

This woman was like a persistent ghost in both this life and the previous one, so it's no wonder he dragged her into the dungeon for interrogation.

In today's world, everyone needs to be extra cautious.

After a moment's thought, Gu Qinyao told Murong Lie a story...

Murong Lie understood. In other words, Gu Qinyao had come to this world with a mission sent from above.

According to her, there really are immortals in heaven who dislike this dynasty and therefore deliberately want to harm it.

Gu Qinyao wants to make him fall in love with her and seize his destiny. Then, after he ascends the throne, he will slowly pass away.

As for Gu Qinyao, she could secure her position as empress, rule from behind the curtain, let their child ascend the throne, and bring the entire dynasty under her control.

That's a really big dream.

Murong Lie looked at Gu Qinyao's vulnerable appearance, and the smile on his lips grew even colder.

He assured her that she would absolutely not succeed.

How could someone so physically and mentally fragile possibly shoulder heavy responsibilities?

For some unknown reason, Murong Lie dismissed all his men and stared intently at Gu Qinyao before uttering a single sentence.

"I have lived a second life."

With just one sentence, Gu Qinyao's eyes widened.

Her unusual behavior was instantly exposed to Murong Lie.

Murong Lie knew that he had stumbled upon the right thing and had successfully tested the waters.

"You know why I was reborn, don't you?"

Gu Qinyao quickly waved her hand.

She didn't want to talk anymore.

Why is the system's cheat ability so useless, yet Murong Lie was reborn with his memories intact?

It's one thing that his cheat ability failed in his past life, but he still can't succeed in this life. So, is that outcast actually Murong Lie?

Gu Qinyao refused to answer, but Murong Lie sent his men in again. Gu Qinyao was frightened and had no choice but to continue talking.

She admitted that she was the one who brought Murong Lie back to life.

She just wanted to make him fall in love with her and complete the task assigned to her by others.

"So you mean I've always had a fatal calamity, whether in this life or a past life?"

Murong Lie said coldly.

Gu Qinyao nodded in agreement.

That's true; the lifespan of the characters you're pursuing won't change.

Even if she successfully wins over Murong Lie, when the time comes, his game will still be over.

In Gu Qinyao's view, this was a kind of retribution, because Murong Lie was so cruel.

When Murong Lie heard that he would still have a death date in this life, and that, if he counted the days, it wouldn't be long since he died in his previous life, he felt no sadness.

He even felt a sense of inexplicable relief.

He had previously forced Jiang Tian to stay by his side for a year, but now it seems that the two of them might be able to live happily ever after.

Murong Lie then asked Gu Qinyao many more questions.

He could tell that her answers were a mix of truth and falsehood.

However, Gu Qinyao knew that his rebirth and Gu Qinyao's various abnormalities had made it very clear to him that most of what Gu Qinyao said was true.

Gu Qinyao herself said that she couldn't control the dynasty, so Murong Lie didn't consider her a major threat.

After thinking it over, Murong Lie released Gu Qinyao.

Gu Qinyao was stunned, never expecting to regain her freedom.

“I don’t know what you people were thinking, sending you here, but—look carefully, no one will suddenly fall head over heels in love with you like you think. Attraction between people doesn’t come from the outside. You died by my blade in your past life, and I was reborn in this one, so I’ll give you one more chance. From now on, you can fend for yourself.”

Murong Lie believed he had already shown leniency.

Thinking that his rebirth was still somewhat related to Gu Qinyao, and that Gu Qinyao wasn't completely evil, he didn't let Gu Qinyao leave quietly in the dark prison.

That's giving her face.

If she still doesn't know what's good for her, then he'll have no choice but to deal with her in his own way.

Gu Qinyao had already seen through Murong Lie's cruelty, so how could she say anything else? Being able to come out alive was the greatest happiness for her.

She thanked Murong Lie weakly, "Thank you for your mercy. I hope we will never meet again."

Murong Lie didn't answer her. He hadn't intended to see her in the first place; she had given herself away and he had caught her.

After speaking, Gu Qinyao disappeared into the crowd.

Murong Lie didn't know where Gu Qinyao would go.

According to Gu Qinyao's words, she might even be taken back by the gods in heaven.

But what does that have to do with him?

He already knew his fate, knew that if nothing unusual happened, he would ascend the throne, and knew even more—his death date.

very good.

In fact, Gu Qinyao had mentioned Jiang Tian, ​​but she said she didn't know Jiang Tian at all and had never paid attention to her.

In his previous life, Murong Lie had never treated Jiang Tian differently. Perhaps it was the various strange events in this life that led Murong Lie to see Jiang Tian and develop feelings for her.

Gu Qinyao was unaware that Murong Lie had developed feelings for Jiang Tian.

Murong Lie, however, was fully aware of the truth.

He knew very well that those dreams that served as the catalyst must have been caused by Gu Qinyao's meddling, but he would not tell a spy the moment when he fell for Jiang Tian.
