   After reading these chapters, my face turned solemn. I lowered my head deeply, silently turned off my phone, got up, opened the refrigerator, took out a bottle of 1982 Nongfu Spring water (a rare vintage), held it tightly in my hand, and slowly walked to the window. The scenery outside was somewhat gloomy, just like my mood—heavy, very heavy. Gradually, a light rain began to fall from the gray sky outside. Why? My vision blurred. I didn't know if it was because I was crying or because the rain was getting heavier; maybe both. My mood became even more melancholy. I could no longer suppress my emotions, opened the window, and shouted loudly at the outside: "Just a few chapters and you think you can look down on anyone?"

Qiao Zhen dreamt of a fragment of her past life: "She followed the aloof school heartthrob Ji Xian for seven years, obedient and docile, offering her sincere heart, only to be carelessly discarded." Upon waking, Qiao Zhen was heartbroken and left without looking back. At first, Ji Xian was indifferent, his tone cold yet certain: "She will definitely come back." Until the Nth day, seeing Qiao Zhen laughing and chatting with another boy, Ji Xian's carefully maintained aloofness shattered completely, his eyes red as he questioned, "Didn't you only like me?" Qiao Zhen also dreamt countless times that in her past life, after obtaining her marriage certificate with her childhood sweetheart Qin Yichi, the two were inseparable and sweetly affectionate. Qiao Zhen: "..." Impossible, absolutely impossible! But later, Qin Yichi held her in his arms, his face full of affection, and confessed his feelings: "Zhenzhen, you don't know. Every time I saw you smile at Ji Xian before—" "I was so jealous I went crazy." The childhood sweetheart's years of unrequited love finally received a response.

A persistently lazy, indirectly ambitious female prime minister, Jiang Qingci; a clingy, manipulative, and charming young emperor, Shen Que; and the regent, Gu Yanli, whose love interest has been poached. Jiang Qingci, disguised as a boy, has followed Gu Yanli since she was ten, serving as his tool. She cleared obstacles for him, helping him ascend to power, working diligently for ten years. After gaining power, his first act was to banish her to the harsh, desolate south. He said: "Don't covet what you shouldn't covet." Three years of exile, enduring hardship and near-death experiences, Jiang Qingci finally gave up on him and returned only wanting to live a peaceful life. However, she unexpectedly ended up with the puppet emperor. One wrong step led to another. The young emperor relentlessly pursues her, creating numerous chaotic situations. Jiang Qingci, clutching her disguise, trembles: "Today is another day I want to retire and return home." Shen Que smiles sweetly: "Today is another day I want to be close to the Prime Minister." Gu Yanli, expressionless: "Today is another day I feel like my love has been stolen." Childhood sweethearts, Gu Yanli always thought Jiang Qingci would be his most obedient weapon. Until one spring day, as the crabapple blossoms swayed in the breeze, he caught her being embraced and kissed tenderly, overflowing with passion. His rationality crumbled, and the jade pendant in his hand shattered, bleeding profusely. But none of that could compare to the ruthless hurt she inflicted when she pointed the knife at him.
