A boy and a girl grow up together. He is the son of a noble family, and she is a princess. For some reason, she has to become his palace maid. Her mother accidentally killed his father, so his mother forbids him from associating with her. Years later, the girl's younger sister takes the throne, but the girl and the boy are too far apart in status to be together, so they can only keep their relationship quiet. In the end, she dies.

"You were born before I was born, and I was born after you were old. You regret that I was born too late, and I regret that you were born too early. You were born before I was born, and I was born after you were old. I regret that we were not born at the same time, so that I could be with you every day."
It's really good, but something feels off. Maybe it's just me. This could be made into a TV series or a movie, which might be good, provided it's well-made. It's really great! (*๓´╰╯`๓)♡ Keep it up! (ง •̀_•́)ง
It's good~ I was a little sad during the angst parts too. I wonder if the extra chapters will be about Yun Niangniang and Ying Yang's second life?
I was truly moved by the tragic love story. I really hope that Consort Yun's tomb will not be discovered and that people will not disturb them.
It was truly amazing and heart-wrenching. I stayed up all night to finish the ending and cried my eyes out. Nobody understands. Thank you, author! And I apologize for posting this review while I was feeling a bit stressed.
You were born before I was born, and I was born after you had grown old. Sometimes, a person's life is predetermined from the start; not all relationships have a happy ending, and not all love stories have a perfect conclusion. Sometimes, the most unforgettable love is often something unattainable, yet one falls deeply into it, unable to escape for the rest of one's life.
Different Fates Lady Yun spent her whole life losing. Yuwen Yingyang spent his entire life searching for that ray of light. The Third Young Master Shangguan's love was both selfless and selfish; he used his own death to create a rift between the female and male leads, claiming to love the female lead but hurting his child. In the end, the male protagonist still couldn't make his Lady Yun happy.
Thank you so much for writing such a wonderful novel. I've read many books but only read the beginning or halfway through before giving up. I read this one from start to finish, and the story was very touching. I hope you will write more novels in the future. I've become a fan of yours!
I cried while watching the later parts; it was really touching. It depicted a pure and innocent love, a love that couldn't be reciprocated, and a touch of angst.
So touching! The unwavering love between Yuwen Yingyang and Xiao Ruyun until death! A story that tortures the male lead! 😭😭😭 I just want to know where in the world can you find such a wonderful man?
