In her previous life, Xia Qingwu was introverted and sensitive, spending her whole life trying to please others and living in quiet misery and humiliation.
She gave her boyfriend her whole heart, taking every word he said to heart. Convinced she'd found love, she went to meet him one day and overheard him mocking and belittling her sincerity and timidity just to win someone else's favor.
Her love turned to ice. Then, in the depths of despair, an accident brought her aggrieved life to a sudden end.
Reborn, she opens her eyes in the fictional Yu Dynasty, as the eldest daughter of the second branch of the Xia family in Xinghua Village.
This time, there are no cold calculations and no misplaced trust.
Her honest, warmhearted parents and simple, kind family cherish her, giving her a love and warmth she'd never known before. With her family's care, the insecurities and wounds buried deep in her heart slowly begin to heal.
She only wants to stay with her family and live a peaceful life, but chaos erupts without warning. War spreads, and their peaceful village can no longer shelter the simple happiness they once knew.
To survive, the family has no choice but to leave their home and embark on a long, arduous flight from famine.
Food is scarce and the road ahead is perilous, but she is no longer the lonely, helpless person she was in her previous life.
Her family is by her side, bound by blood. Even as they wander from place to place, they support one another and never give up.
In her previous life, she tasted the cold and warmth of human nature with no one to lean on. In this life, she holds tight to the warmth of family, facing every hardship together.
This time, she will no longer seek approval or live in humiliation. She will protect her loved ones, endure the suffering of the chaotic age, and at last live toward the light.
