"Do you know about the Bridge of Crossing Immortals? Legend has it that married couples who cross it can continue their relationship in the next life."
An ancient tomb is unearthed in the Huangling Mountains, and archaeologists Xia Qinghe and Yu Rui are sent there with their professor to investigate.
But an accident leaves them seriously injured.
*
In the capital, no woman is more brazen and flamboyant than Mu Wanqing. No one dares claim second place.
The legitimate daughter of a general's household, she grew up in the imperial palace, adored by the emperor and empress. Even the crown prince recognizes only her as his younger sister.
Before she turned sixteen, she had just one wish: for Chu Yao to return safely so she could marry him.
But on the eve of her sixteenth birthday, she personally petitioned for an imperial decree, marrying Prince Rui, Zhou Mochen, and vowing to share life and death with him.
*
When he was young, Zhou Mochen was an unfavored prince, bullied at every turn in the palace.
Mu Wanqing was like a ray of sunlight shining into his life.
He knew there was someone else in her heart, so he silently protected her all along.
He never expected that after a rescue, she would become his bride.
After their marriage, he offered her a heart ablaze with passion, and at last, he won Mu Wanqing's attention.
He said, "My lady, from beginning to end, you are the only one I, Zhou, have ever wanted."
*
Childhood sweethearts cannot rival a fated match from above.
Across past and present lives, I cannot forget your face.
[After Xia Qinghe and Yu Rui wake up, they have the memories of Mu Wanqing and Zhou Mochen]
This is a super good read, you won't regret it! The author's "Pampered Secrets" is also excellent, highly recommended! This author is a gem!
"If true love meant being together, there wouldn't be so many people in the world bound by emotions." This applies to family, romantic, and friendship alike. (OK)
It's really good; I've already rewatched it twice. The story is so captivating, it's just a shame the ending wasn't good. Has the author published anything? I'd like to buy a book.
Perhaps it's this book title that's the story. Everything was just a dream.
