From Lady of the Nine Yao to Lady of Penglai, her identity changed, and so did her temperament.
Once, she had poured all her tenderness into one person, only to receive nothing in return. Her father's whereabouts were unknown, and Heng Yuan could never give her an answer she found satisfactory. All of it left her disheartened. After struggling for a long time, she resolved to leave, even though she was already carrying his child.
Her time in Penglai gradually helped her find herself again. She cultivated and took care of Penglai's everyday affairs, while slowly letting go of the past.
She no longer devoted her energy to one person. Cultivation, reading, traveling, searching for family... She discovered how carefree it was to do the things she loved.
Either be with the one she loved, or live freely doing what she loved. Whether she could have both, she hadn't yet considered.
Even after leaving the Heavenly Realm, she still went up there often, sometimes to seek guidance in magic from a revered deity, sometimes to consult immortal records in the Lang Huan Library, sometimes to catch up with old friends. But she never went to pay him a visit.
He had thought she would follow him forever, never imagining that one day she would choose to leave.
Even less had he imagined that after she left, he would have no one by his side to talk to.
The others treated him with respect either out of fear or flattery.
Subjects were easy to find, but a kindred spirit was rare.
When he visited Penglai under another identity and with a different face, would she welcome him? Would she recognize him?
Could the little clan, once ravaged by upheaval, grow stronger after reaching Penglai and stop being bullied?
Could the Lady of Penglai and the Emperor of the Three Realms, locked in a love-hate struggle, ultimately have a happy ending?
But for now, all she wanted was to bring a pot of fine wine, lie drunken among the flowers, let go of the past, and live as freely as before...
