In the tenth year after Jiang Ciwan's death, her soul wandered around the world. She saw with her own eyes that the powerful official Xie Yanqing, who had been entangled by her in every possible way and avoided her like a snake or a scorpion, sat in front of her grave all night, with white hair growing on his temples.
When she was alive, she was the most notorious slut in the capital. In order to pursue Xie Yanqing, she stopped horses in the street, stopped drunk sedans, and even fabricated rumors of engagement, forcing him to refuse the marriage in public, making her a laughing stock in the city. She left Beijing in shame and anger, and died of illness in a foreign country at the age of nineteen.
But after her death, her soul wandered for ten years before she knew——
On the day she stopped the horse, he was on his way to propose marriage.
The night before she made up the rumor, he had just finished writing his proposal for marriage.
After she left Beijing, he chased after her, but was only seven days late.
That night in front of her grave, he sat withered until dawn, and his hair grew white from then on.
What she thought was wishful thinking turned out to be a two-way secret love, which was forced into a dead end by her.
Then she woke up.
When I woke up, I was lying on the railing of the teahouse with half a bottle of wine in my hand - downstairs, young Xie Yanqing was riding a horse and was about to pass by.
In this life, she put down the bottle of wine and went downstairs quietly, not even raising her head when she passed by him.
She thought: Stay away from him, don't hurt him again.
But he found that the person who used to chase him now saw only panic in his eyes.
