When An Lingrong is no longer An Lingrong, and Sheng Minglan inherits the memories of another life.
The bitter taste of almonds from the Cold Palace has barely faded when her soul transmigrates into the body of an eight-year-old daughter of the Sheng household. She still has her skill at making incense, but this time, all she wants to create is a soothing fragrance, not a love potion.
Yet her past life follows her like a shadow. Lin Qinshuang's schemes are just like the Empress's probing tests. Mo Lan's insecurities mirror her own past, while Gu Tingye, the man who saw through every dark secret she kept yet chose to stay, becomes her greatest surprise.
"You were so afraid, and yet you still saved them," he says.
From "I'm not worthy" to "I deserve this," from making poison to protect herself to using incense to help others, in this life she will no longer be anyone's pawn. She will be her own remedy.
This is a story of three kinds of redemption: a craft that heals the heart, sisters rebuilding their bond, and love teaching her to accept herself. As the incense burns low and spring deepens, she finally understands: those who crawl out of hell don't have to become demons, as long as someone is willing to stay by their side and bask in the sun.
