she was first his secret lover, but he never chose her wholeheartedly.
Later, she accidentally became caught up in a strange series of events and met Ran Bu, the person destined for her. She then witnessed many people making choices they had no choice but to make in turbulent times: separating from loved ones for the sake of their futures, pretending to be friendly for profit, and regretting their choices after their desires spiraled out of control.
Then she witnessed a love unlike the others, and the regret of being too old.
