Xuan Ru Like a Dream

[Historical Romance] [Household Intrigue]

Awakening from a hazy dream, Shi Xuan discovers that everything before her is completely different from the reality she once knew, as if she has fallen into a strange, unrecognizable world. She can't help but wonder again and again whether these changes stem from the unfathomable malice of human nature, or whether they are the consequences of her own past naivety and ignorance. After a brief period of confusion and struggle, an unprecedented resolve wells up within her. She silently vows to rise from the ashes through her own strength and completely turn around what seems to be a losing game.

She slowly climbs the towering city wall. A bitter, frigid wind rushes toward her like countless sharp blades of ice, mercilessly scraping every inch of her skin and bringing waves of bone-deep pain. Against this bleak and chilling backdrop, the vivid red of her robe stands out, like a red plum blossom blooming defiantly in the depths of winter, both solitary and unyielding. She endures and gives everything for her beloved mother and the people by her side whom she has sworn to protect at all costs. So she hesitates no longer and takes the initiative to approach Fu Yu, intent only on taking the crucial military tally that will decide the outcome.
