Fu Lianrong was once the empress envied by all under heaven.
That man had promised they would be together in every lifetime, needing neither mandarin ducks nor immortals.
Yet in barely two years, more than three hundred members of the Fu family were executed. She was stripped of her title and thrown into the imperial prison.
“Brother Jingxian, I didn’t betray you. Brother Jingxian…”
But what she got in return was two cups of poisoned wine.
Three years later, Fu Lianrong returned and entered the palace once more, disguised as a musician. Her performance on the qin dazzled everyone and caught his attention too.
“Is it you, Lianrong?”
“You’ve finally come back. I’ve missed you every night…”
She had walked among the clouds, only to fall back into hell.
Fu Lianrong could no longer accept his love.
She stepped away, her expression calm. “Your Majesty, you have the wrong person.”
Only then did Chu Jingxian understand: even if she was right before him, she was still not his Lianrong. Once she was lost, she was gone forever.
