Late one winter night in the second year of Yongning, Emperor Zhao Huo Yun summoned Zong Wuyou, Director of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau, to the palace to cast a divination. As Zong Wuyou departed, the emperor ordered his attendants to extinguish the lights in Fanghua Hall. He sat in the darkness for a long time, until he heard a bird call in the sky.
He stepped outside the hall and saw snow falling.
The heavy snow weighed down the hibiscus branches by the door. For some reason, he thought of the girl he had met on Six Lines Mountain when he was in his teens.
She wore a cross-collar ruqun embroidered with hibiscus flowers and butterflies, dancing gracefully among the hibiscus trees. He played the qin as she danced. They had never met before, yet it felt as if they had been in love for a long time...
In her previous life, Han Zhining had a distinguished birth and the love of her parents and elder brother. Yet she was deceived by a worthless man and a wicked woman, and broke off her engagement to the regent, Huo Yun. One wrong turn led to another. By the time her family had been murdered and she herself had died a tragic death, Han Zhining suddenly realized that the man she had always wanted was Huo Jinchen, the very man she had pushed away!
Though she has no idea why she was given the good fortune to be reborn, now that she has another chance, she will change the fate of everyone she cares about. And most importantly, she will be with him!
The regent, Huo Yun, grew up without a father or mother, raised by his elder brother, Huo Xian. A veteran of many campaigns, he never intended to fall in love, but then he unexpectedly fell for a woman at first sight in the wilds outside the royal capital. He let her slip away in his previous life, but this time he will hold on to her at all costs!
The all-powerful regent X the general’s legitimate daughter, hailed as “the most beautiful woman”
“May I become a swallowtail butterfly, fluttering into your arms.”
Love the Regent! Come on!
