Xu Youxi didn't know it at the time, but it was the last spring.
He only remembered that every time he returned to Cheng'an in his dreams, the peach blossoms in the academy were always in full bloom, and the fallen flowers poured down like a torrential rain, drowning all the moans that had not yet been uttered.
Only the strong and suffocating floral fragrance remained, lingering in his memory for a long time and lingering. So much so that he couldn't help but feel sick when he saw the few weeping crabapples in Prince Rui's Mansion.
But every time he woke up from a nightmare, the same face stood beside Xu Youxi's bed, just like he was always waiting for her to come back at the door of the palace.
Here, he finally gradually learned how to hate, and finally learned how not to hate people who shouldn't be hated.
"Ordained by God" is a lie told by fools;
"You will live forever" is an arrogant nonsense.
Until the majestic golden dome of the past turned into a noose, and the wind penetrated the fragile Jili River. He once again stared at the palace buildings that collapsed in the fire, and his memories were wiped out together with the broken beams and pillars.
"Even if we don't hate you anymore, we still... I'm sorry, I understood it too late."
The long nightmare and Xu Youxi's life were finally over. But if all this is just a nightmare, the warmth that once belonged to someone in the palm of my hand... Is it also fake?
"Last night the east wind blew me from my dream, and my predecessor was suspected to be among the fallen flowers."
It seems like it was that snowy night again, someone holding a lantern chased her out of the palace gate, and smashed her head full of pearls on the ice.
