Life Is Like a Dream, So Sing While You Can

It began as a political marriage. She left her parents and her homeland, and parted from the childhood sweetheart she had known since they were young. She believed she was destined to be nothing more than a tool for the rest of her life.

Unexpectedly, she was attacked along the way. She fell into a lake but survived and was rescued, only to be forced to wear an ugly face.

Later, she met Helian Yi, who brought her into the imperial palace. To her surprise, he was Helian Huai's younger brother. Fortunately, Helian Huai had done so many evil things that he was no decent person. Otherwise, she truly would not have known what to do.

She simply helped Helian Yi ascend the throne and become emperor. In doing so, she preserved peace between the two countries and did something good for the people of Xia.

But along this road paved with bones, she watched with her own eyes as one after another of those who had shared life and death with her departed. Beneath the earth, the white bones sang through the night, while countless vengeful souls howled in agony. She could bear to watch no longer. With her heart turned cold, she left the halls of power and retired to the mountains, joining hands with the one she loved to travel across the rivers and mountains.
