As her consciousness faded, Shao Yuan heard many people calling her name.
When she had just come of age, a fortune-teller once told her, "If people truly can be reborn, then there is no need to be bound by this life."
On their wedding night, her husband Xue Ji once told her, "In this life, the only ones we need bow to are Heaven and Earth, and our elders and loved ones. We need not concern ourselves with the world's power and status. I am your husband, and you are my wife. We are one, so we should be equals."
Amid all those voices, she could not hear her father and mother, who had given birth to her and raised her, or her brothers, born of the same mother, calling her name. It was only when someone brushed an icy fingertip past her ear and spoke coldly that she heard:
"The Shao family committed treason. Shao Lan led them, followed by Shao Qin and then Shao An. All three were pierced by ten thousand arrows and left exposed in the wilderness."
"The women of the Shao household were at home when raging flames spread through every corner of the estate. No one could be rescued. The entire family perished."
No one could be rescued. The entire family perished.
The voice did not stop, but grew fainter and fainter. "Shao Yuan, you already know how they ended up."
"Then what about you? What will your ending be?"
That's right.
What would her ending be?
