Mu Shengsheng was born with a delicate and enchanting beauty, but unfortunately, she was a frail girl doomed to a short life, expected to live no longer than sixteen.

Until one day, when her life was hanging by a thread, her stepmother sent her to a ghost marriage. While fleeing, she accidentally fell into the arms of a man and suddenly felt a strange force coursing through her. Her energy surged, and her lifespan increased—from three days to four.

Good news: she could live one more day.
Bad news: the man was Lan Xun, the regent wielding power over the entire court, proud and aloof, untouched by women—a force no one dared provoke.

To survive, Mu Shengsheng bravely approached Lan Xun and discovered something astonishing: hugging him added one day to her life, and kissing him extended it by five days… the closer the contact, the longer she lived.

So… what if she took it further?

Determined, Mu Shengsheng decided to marry Lan Xun. With a flair for drama, she tearfully confessed, “Shengsheng admires Your Highness. My only wish before death is to marry Your Highness and become your wife. Then I could leave this world with no regrets. After all, my days are few—once I die, Your Highness can take another wife.”

Lan Xun, knowing her condition was indeed critical, felt a momentary softness and agreed.

But after their marriage, this supposedly “short-lived” regent’s wife didn’t die. Instead, she thrived—eating well, sleeping soundly, and three years later, already bearing two children, practically climbing over him to act mischievously.

When Lan Xun discovered the truth, he furiously threw her onto the bed: “Little trickster, tonight I’ll make sure you live a full, long life!”
