He was the heir of the country, regretting things he had lost in the process of power chasing. Could she ever be saved? Could he get back what he had lost?

Please consider supporting at https://www.patreon.com/EngChinStories --------------------------------- Li Hei Yi got betrayed by her husband and was killed by him. She died but came back again as someone else! When she opens her eyes again, she is no longer Li Hei Yi, but the young miss of the Ba Family, Ba Yue! "So, I'm a useless fatty, huh? Well, I'll show you who's the useless one. And for those that have hurt me before, get ready. Because I am back! I'll get my revenge and by the time I'm done with you, you'll wish you are dead." "Big sister, big sister, I'll fight the bad guys for you! I can cook and warm your bed. Please don't throw me out," said the idiot 7th prince. Who would have thought the idiot 7th prince is actually the owner of the underworld known as the Ghost King! The man that can freeze you with one look from his cold eyes. "Little Yue, you can only be my wife! You can't run away from me." Whoever hurts her will have to pay the price! Said the Ghost King. "My lord, you don't look too convincing saying that while cooking. And where are you going now?" "I have to go feed my little Yue and then sneak into her room to warm the bed for her." As the great Ghost King happily leaves the kitchen, his guards are dumbfounded by their king's action. They knew their king has a long way to go to chase after his wife.
