[Ancient-to-modern transmigration + sweet romance + devoted couple + metaphysics]
That June, war raged between the Kingdom of Qiyue and the Kingdom of Lanling, filling the air with smoke. Han Jinyu, the valiant general of Qiyue, was defeated in a fierce battle against Lanling. He died on the battlefield and was brought home wrapped in his armor, a tragic end to a brave life.
Yet that same year, in September, another tragedy unfolded in Qiyue. Mu Yiran, the eldest daughter of the Chancellor's household, chose to end her life for love in a peach grove in the southern outskirts of Yucheng. Petals drifted through the grove like the last dazzling fireworks of her life.
Before Han Jinyu left for the front, he had gently promised Mu Yiran, “When this battle is over, I'll come back and ask your father's permission to marry you.” Mu Yiran's face had glowed with a young woman's bashful excitement. She had nodded softly, accepting his heartfelt promise.
But fate had other plans. Three months passed, and instead of a marriage proposal, Mu Yiran received the devastating news that he had died heroically in battle. At that moment, her world seemed to collapse, and every hope and expectation vanished. Overwhelmed by grief, she chose to follow her beloved, ending her life in that peach grove and expressing her boundless longing and love through her sacrifice.
