In a nutshell: He returned from the dead just to remember her, yet in the course of saving everything, he has no choice but to forget her.
In his previous life, Ye Xian, heir to the Marquis of Changxing, died on a snowy night at the frontier.
He won glory for another, but his body was never brought home. All that remained were the words “kindred spirit,” along with the crushing regret of his family’s ruin, his father’s death, and his mentor’s betrayal.
When he opened his eyes again, he was thirteen once more: still the frail heir plagued by a heart condition and scorned as a “good-for-nothing.”
But fate had already put a price on its gift. He returned with his memories, but they would fade as time passed.
He remembered that he had to save his family, take revenge, and find that figure in the distance. Yet as the years went by, he would gradually forget her name and face.
