Yong'an Year Twenty-Three!
Zhao Ningxi feels as if she’s been struck by lightning, her whole body turning ice-cold. She remembers it perfectly: she died in the fifth month of Yong'an Year Twenty-Six, when she was eight months pregnant... In other words, she has gone back three years, to before she married into the northern kingdom, before she even discovered the affair between Xiao Che and Zhao Ningyue!
Is this a dream? She pinches herself hard, and feels the unmistakable sting. It’s not a dream! She really has come back!
After the overwhelming joy comes a bone-deep chill. Xiao Che’s false affection, Zhao Ningyue’s treacherous heart, and Consort Shu pulling the strings from behind the scenes... The details she once overlooked now slice through her mind like knives.
Just then, a warm sensation suddenly comes from her palm. She looks down and sees that, somehow, the blood-jade tortoise is in her hand. The blood-red patterns on its shell are slowly flowing, as if they’ve come alive.
