Then came the chaos of corrupt officials, the fall of the country, and the destruction of her family. When she opened her eyes again, Shen Songqi was back three years in the past. Her parents were still alive, and the court and the people praised her. She was still the carefree Princess Zhaohua. But Shen Songqi's heart was filled with only weariness. Through the hanging beaded curtain, she saw those burning, bright eyes again—the same ones she had seen when she was dying. "So be it," Shen Songqi thought. Living in the palace for so long, she never imagined that one day she would be far from her homeland, sent to the grasslands for a marriage alliance. She never imagined that when she woke up from the nightmare, she would be embraced in a warm embrace, hearing a man's affectionate laughter in her ear.
