[A concubine-born daughter’s rise × a powerful partnership × sweet romance across two lifetimes]
With a heart set on the wilds, she meets her beloved across two lifetimes.
Xu Si, the concubine-born daughter of the Minister of Rites, was born low in status and confined to a sprawling mansion. In the end, she died in sorrow and frustration.
Then, in a single moment, a modern soul entered her body, and the timid daughter’s brilliance began to shine.
She plans every step, fights back against those who mistreat her, and outmaneuvers the legitimate and illegitimate children alike, avenging the original owner for every wrong she suffered in life. Amid the mire of the Minister’s residence, she blossoms into a flower with thorns.
With her heart set on the open wilderness, how could she let a cage hold her? Through her own strength, she breaks free of the constraints of the household and becomes someone no one dares to slight.
She had expected to walk alone in a different world, but unexpectedly found herself caught in the warmth and resolve in his eyes.
He is a dazzling talent at court and her companion through every storm. From conflicts within the household to the great game for the realm, he is always there to protect her hand in hand as they cut through every obstacle together.
Their feelings blossom in secret as they spend each day side by side. She thinks this is only a brief encounter in another world, never realizing that their love has already taken root deep in her bones, spanning mountains and seas.
Once vengeance is complete and the game is settled, the time to return suddenly arrives. She is whisked back to the modern world, left with nothing but a heart full of longing.
She thinks mountains and seas separate them, and their paths belong to different lifetimes. Then, on a familiar street, she sees a figure dressed in modern clothes, with the same familiar eyes and brows.
It turns out you crossed lifetimes long ago to meet me and keep our promise, year after year.
