Synopsis

Ruoxi breathed her last in the arms of the Fourteenth Prince. Her spirit floated high above the Forbidden City, only to find herself trapped within its red walls by invisible shackles. She watched as the Fourth Prince kept vigil before her coffin, his dragon robe steeped in cold, his hair turning white overnight, yet he refused to shed a tear. He only rubbed the hairpin she had left behind, his fingertips trembling uncontrollably. The Thirteenth Prince sat collapsed beneath the corridor, clutching a wine jug and crying like a child as he repeated, “Ruoxi, why didn’t you wait for me?” The Fourteenth Prince knelt in the rain for three days and nights, holding her belongings, despair in his eyes threatening to drown the entire palace. The Eighth Prince stood alone in the courtyard, gazing at the snow falling from the sky as he murmured, “Thank you, Ruoxi.” His sigh held a regret no one could understand. Ruoxi’s heart ached. She turned and caught sight of the Ninth Prince’s reddened eyes as he lowered them, but only scoffed: Serves him right. Years passed in the blink of an eye. She watched the Thirteenth Prince draw his last breath, watched Chenghuan marry into a Mongolian family and become Minmin’s daughter-in-law, and watched the Fourth Prince finally succumb to time and ascend to heaven. One by one, the people she knew passed away. Ruoxi’s heart felt as if it were being flayed alive, and the pain left her gasping for breath. “Can you still not let go?” A hazy voice suddenly whispered in her ear. Ruoxi froze. “You brought me here. Why?” The voice sighed softly. “Your soul has returned to the place your heart longs for most. Do you want another chance? This time, you won’t be anyone’s pawn or become entangled in love and hate. You’ll just be yourself.” Ruoxi murmured, “I... really can?” “The choice has always been yours.” The wind swept past the red walls. Ruoxi gazed down at the palace, countless thoughts surging in her eyes. What would she choose this time?

I read this book without skipping chapters at all. I felt very deeply. My regrets about the TV series and Ruoxi's choice in the book later were not abrupt at all. The connection was very natural. The author's writing style is very good and his knowledge is very deep. When reading the book, you can feel like you are in that scene. I cried uncontrollably in the last few chapters. I have collected it and will revisit it.

It looks good. Ruo Xi is reborn and doesn't remember her past life. The eighth prince also dreams and remembers his past life but doesn't know who ascended the throne. Yinzhen also dreams and remembers his past life and starts to be nice to Ruo Xi. Ruo Xi doesn't remember but resists Yinzhen's feelings. Later, because of the tenth prince's birthday, Ruo Xi made clothes for him and all his elder brothers, which attracted Kangxi's attention and entered the palace early to serve as a tea maid. Kangxi also fell in love with Ruoxi. Ruoxi refused to have feelings because of the vague feelings in her previous life. After more than a hundred photos, Ruoxi suddenly remembered her previous life. Shi didn't want to wake up, this period was so cruel, I burst into tears [crying]. When I woke up, I was with Kangxi. Kangxi also knew that Ruoxi liked Yinzhen, and Kangxi made Yinzhen stop thinking about it. After that, Kangxi never favored other harem people, but only went to sit around during the day. , Ruoxi did not enter the harem in the end, but gave birth to twins. After Kangxi died, Ruoxi herself was buried by Kangxi. This part was also sad [crying]. The other elder brothers all had a good ending. It was quite interesting. In the extra story, Ruoxi and Kangxi met in modern times.

The fictional imagination is very good, but the emotional line cannot be seen. Before, it would have seemed that Ruoxi was moved by Kangxi's tenderness and thoughtfulness. Their CP
