After being reborn, she remembers only that her name is Xiang Yulan. She has forgotten everything else. It is only after becoming his maid that she dreams of owing him her life in a previous life. She can’t remember how she came to owe him, either.
To repay him, she becomes his maid. But whenever he comes close, even if it’s only to hand her a cup of tea or brush her fingertips, she dreams that night of fragments from her past life: him shielding her from the rain, getting soaked in the snow, and walking a long way by her side.
The more fragments she pieces together, the more panicked she becomes. How could someone who promised to marry him in her past life, only to let him down, ever be worthy of him?
He is the son of a wealthy merchant, while she is just a maid bound by a long-term contract. Her mother says it won’t do, and her father shakes his head.
But what she hasn’t told him is that every old dream of her past life is filled with his shadow, and the only name she remembers is Shen He.
But some debts can’t be repaid and then left behind.
A slow-burn, flirtatious push and pull between young master and maid at first, followed by a devoted 1v1 romance.
A leisurely, slow-paced daily-life story about how this young couple in the Northern Song Dynasty grow old together.
