When Lin Yuan, the archaeological captain, was excavating an ancient city buried for thousands of years in Beimang Mountain, he touched a jade bracelet with blood on the inner wall. Memories of his past life came flooding back - he was Xiao Zheng, the guard of Shuofeng City thousands of years ago, and his fiancée in this life, Su Wan, a cultural relic restorer, was none other than the enemy princess Ji Yaoguang who poisoned him on the night the city was destroyed.
Thousands of years ago, a young general and a conquered princess met in a bitter cold border town. She kept her name anonymously and came for revenge; he stayed with her until death. On the day the city fell, she drugged his wine, but when she said goodbye, she stuffed the jade bracelet into his palm: "If there is an afterlife, I will give everything to exchange for you and me not being your enemy."
Thousands of years later, in the murals unearthed at the archaeological site, the faces of the general and the woman were exactly the same. As the layers of past life memories are uncovered, the two people must make a choice between the betrayal thousands of years ago and the deep love in this life - should they continue to use hatred to extend the tragedy, or use love to end the reincarnation?
The novel runs in parallel, intertwining archaeological discoveries with past life memories, integrating historical suspense and affectionate sadomasochism, and asking a question that spans thousands of years: How long does it take to forgive and redeem?
