After being murdered by her unfaithful boyfriend and his mistress, the celebrated actress Lian Meng is unexpectedly reborn. Though her betrayer and his lover have become a renowned director and a famous actress—wielding considerable power in the entertainment industry—it doesn't matter. No matter how high they've climbed, she will hunt them down and make them pay for what they've done. Yet after her rebirth, she finds herself relentlessly pursued by a certain male idol. How could this be allowed? She is a woman wholly devoted to revenge; romance would only distract her from her ambitions! But fate has other plans. Lu Ming, the charming professor, is even more determined to win her heart than she is to exact her revenge. Whether in private or before a crowd, he never misses a chance to flirt: "Darling, it's time for class." "Professor Lu, there are no seats left." "That’s not a problem." Lu Ming fetches a chair from the classroom next door, places it beside the lectern, and says, "Sit here next to me." In her previous life, she died in humiliation. This time, she is resolved to see the betrayers receive their just deserts. Revenge and romance—she will accept them both, one by one.
Lian Meng never imagined she would die in such an unclear and senseless way.

Lian Meng, lying on the blood-soaked delivery bed, glared at the woman before her. If looks could kill, this woman would have died a thousand deaths at her hands. Yet the truth was that Lian Meng herself was dying, and in such a subtle way that it would hardly be noticed.
“You… you…” She tried desperately to speak, but her words were barely a whisper, “I swear… I will make sure… you both… meet a terrible end…”
Seeing Lian Meng in this state, the woman laughed until she was bent over, “Ha ha, Mengmeng, you really are a joker. You’re dying—how could you possibly take revenge on us?”
Lian Meng tugged at the corner of her mouth in a cold smile, “Even if I die… I’ll curse you… haunt you… just wait and see.”
After uttering her threat, Lian Meng wondered silently—was there truly such a thing as retribution?
She was so unwil
