I accidentally used the names of the female and male leads from my other novels in this one. I may take a while to fix them, so I’m sorry, everyone. I’ll make a few changes every day. It really was just a typing mistake.
In 1928, a wrongful accusation of treason brought the entire Jiangnan Su family to ruin.
Su Wanqing, once a pampered young lady, became the daughter of a disgraced official overnight. She was driven from place to place in Beiping, barely clinging to life.
In a snow-covered old alley, she crossed paths with Lu Zhiyan, the enemy who had destroyed her family.
He was the young marshal of Beiping, commanding a powerful army. He was the man who had personally pushed her into hell, and also the glimmer of light she had secretly cherished since childhood.
He kept her forcibly by his side, hating her family’s crimes, yet unable to keep her from stirring his heart.
She hated his coldness and ruthlessness, yet in countless moments, she was repeatedly tortured by a once-sweet dream that had long since turned bitter.
A blood feud between families, a monstrous misunderstanding, and a turbulent age: love and hate became entangled to the bone.
By the time the truth came to light and the injustice was set right, her heart had already died to ash, and they were strangers at opposite ends of the earth.
He spent the rest of his life consumed by regret, searching for her across a thousand miles.
She carried her wounds with her and never saw him or thought of him again.
An old Republican-era dream, two lovers bound by obsession and resentment.
Their love and hatred burned away, leaving only ashes in their wake. They would never meet again in this lifetime.
