[#GL pairing vs. unhinged obsession vs. rebirth vs. powerful heroines. Also known as: The Sequel to the Eastern Palace's Li Pei Couple]
Childhood friends, sweethearts since youth, and married young, they had supported each other all along the way. Pei Shiliuniang thought that even if A Mu changed, his love would not. She believed they would always walk hand in hand into old age.
But as the seasons turned and she spent more and more time in the deep palace, she began to feel that her former belief had been absurd and laughable.
