Zhu Yingtai woke up from the severe pain of jumping into the tomb. The scar on her left arm made by the gravel was still oozing blood - she actually returned to the age of sixteen before meeting Liang Shanbo with the memory of her previous life.
The romance of turning into a butterfly in the previous life was no match for the family's overthrow of heart. In this life, she swore to the peach blossom tree that she would never have anything to do with Liang Shanbo again.
But fate has its way. On the bluestone road of Nishan Academy, she still bumped into the scholar in blue shirt. His tenderness when he took the punishment for her, his shyness when he gave him honey-soaked kumquats, and even the inscription on the fan "Clean Dew and Morning Flow" all overlapped with the memory so much that it made her suffocate.
What shocked her even more was Ma Wencai. The dandy who forcibly married her in her previous life actually gave her her favorite peach blossom cake, with regret that she couldn't read in his eyes.
It wasn't until Lin Wan, a graduate student in the Department of Modern History, traveled through time and became the maid Xiao Tao and appeared next to her with a silver lock containing the "Ending of Butterfly Lovers" that Zhu Yingtai realized that this rebirth had already been undercurrent - Ma Wencai was also a reborn person, and Xiao Tao's USB flash drive contained the secret of the rise and fall of the Zhu family.
When the misunderstanding at the Peach Blossom Banquet tore apart trust, when the Ma family's silk contract strangled the Zhu family's throats, when Liang Shanbo held the money from the sale of family heirlooms and said "Follow me", Zhu Yingtai looked at the three shadows reflected in the bronze mirror: the determination of the past life, the retreat of this life, and the confusion of the future.
She thought that rebirth was to escape, but she suddenly realized from Xiao Tao's words, "Fate is meant to be broken."
In this life, when the peach blossoms fall again, she neither wants the sadness of turning into a butterfly nor the stability of marrying into the Ma family. What she wants is life in her own hands.
