At the hundred-day celebration, Li Ju'an makes Su Yiyu, who is also a hundred days old, cry, and the gears of fate begin to turn...
Life is unpredictable. Li Ju'an can't foresee what fate has in store, or control it, just as she had no control over arriving in this world, a bewildered infant.
Every twist of fate has its inevitable consequences. If her life is destined to be unhappy, then she will give everything she has to fight for an ending without regrets.
Li Ju'an had thought she would never see again the boy whose ears turned red because of her in the snow, back when they were young.
But she encounters him again amid a noisy crowd, beneath dim lights: a man dressed in dark brocade, his hair held by a white jade crown.
He sits in a wheelchair, his expression grave, nothing like the boy she remembers.
All these years, could you be the person I've been looking for? The one who will pay with his life for my family?
So, to investigate, Li Ju'an puts on an act with him, pretending to give herself to him. But when she gets what she wanted, her feelings are complicated.
She thought she had laid this trap flawlessly, unaware that she had already become part of it.
"Su Yiyu, you're a coward. What do all those moral codes matter? Don't you hate them? Shouldn't you hate them?"
[Two strong leads, childhood friends reunited, primarily told from the female lead's perspective]
It's pretty good, the story is so satisfying.
