Snow on the Palace Walls, Calling the Dawn Home

In her previous life, Song Yunxi was Luojing’s most pampered young lady. But after her half-sister Song Yunsi turned her family against her, her own brother Song Yi and childhood sweetheart and fiancé Xie Lin joined forces to push her into the abyss. They took everything from her and trampled her into the dirt, while raising her half-sister to shine like the sun. Disfigured and crippled, she was imprisoned in a derelict courtyard for years before finally being strangled to death.

Reborn, Song Yunxi’s eyes hold nothing but ice. She casts aside her cold, biased brother, cuts ties at once with the cousin obsessed with his “white lotus,” and personally breaks off her engagement to her faithless fiancé! When she tears away her half-sister’s mask of kindness, the people who betrayed her finally kneel and beg for forgiveness. Song Yunxi only sneers. “Forgiveness? You’d be better off burned to ashes and scattered.”

In this life, she already has a beloved older brother: Xiao Yan, the powerful eunuch who rules the court. Everyone fears his ruthless, icy nature, and they say even the title “Chief Eunuch” can make children cry. But only Song Yunxi has seen the tenderness in his eyes when he bends down and calls her “Little Yunxi.”

When rumors spread after they were left alone together, he casually retorts, “I’m a eunuch. How could this be against proper etiquette?”

Later, in a room filled with warm fragrance, he holds the tipsy young woman, her eyes flushed red, and speaks so gently his voice could melt water. “Little Yunxi, your big brother will take good care of you.”
