    Reader note

    Mo Wanfeng and Wen Xinlan were childhood sweethearts, deeply in love with each other. Mo Wanfeng carved his own bone into a hairpin for her, vowing to become the top scholar in the imperial examination and marry her. He restrained himself, feeling his lowly status and unwilling to tarnish her reputation. Only after passing the examination did he fulfill his promise, marrying her with eight sedan chairs and the traditional rites of marriage. Even though the wedding date was set, he still adhered to the proper etiquette. When the emperor bestowed a marriage upon him, he refused to comply, even at the cost of his life. On the eve of his wedding to the princess, using the Wen family as leverage, he planned to fake his death to escape the marriage, risking the crime of deceiving the emperor to elope with her. After the marriage, he tried every means to escape Li Yunyan. Even after losing his memory, he never touched Li Yunyan. Upon regaining his memory, his first instinct was to cure Wen Xinlan's poison, enduring the torment of the poison and unrequited love alone. Even seeing Wen Xinlan and Li Yunxuan's loving relationship, he refused to tell Wen Xinlan the truth, because the truth would condemn her to a lifetime of torment. Every night, he could only be with her in his dreams. His love for her was etched into his very bones, yet every time they met, he could only pretend to be a stranger. When Wen Xinlan was forced to have sex with Li Yunxuan, he became completely corrupted. This once frail scholar began practicing swordsmanship to save his beloved. He hated his own weakness for not being able to protect her, and he forced himself to practice martial arts despite the strain on his body. After Wen Xinlan's death, he resolutely followed her to the afterlife. He was never a weak scholar. His love was always unwavering. Li Yunxuan was aloof and cold from a young age, showing no warmth to anyone except Wen Xinlan, for whom he possessed a unique tenderness. He knew Wen Xinlan always harbored feelings for Mo Wanfeng, yet he still silently stayed by her side. He could have used his power to marry Wen Xinlan into the royal family, but he only said to her, "It's alright, I can wait." On the day of Wen Xinlan's wedding to Mo Wanfeng, she was tricked by Li Yunyan, mistaking him for Mo Wanfeng. Those repeated calls of "Mo Lang" became his lifelong pain. Upon learning of his father's imprisonment, he secretly investigated and discovered it was Li Yunyan's doing. For her sake, he willingly abandoned his dignity and begged Li Yunyan to release the Wen family. However, Wen Xinlan knew nothing; until her death, she remained misunderstanding that Li Yunxuan had ruined her reputation, framed her father, and separated her from Mo Wanfeng. She hated him to the core, yet the only thing he had ever done to wrong her was ruin her reputation. After their marriage, he constantly tried to please her, but she never accepted his kindness. Only after losing her memory and her feelings for Mo Wanfeng did she slowly begin to accept him. He doted on her, spending lavishly to win her smile. He dedicated the rest of his life to weaving a three-year dream. When Li Yunyan attempted to assassinate her, he unhesitatingly took a fatal arrow for her, narrowly escaping death. After regaining her memories, her hatred for him intensified, and she even tried to kill him several times. He never evaded her assassination attempts; she tried to kill him twice and poison him once, yet he still chose to indulge her. He risked his life, gambling with his life, on whether she still loved him. He couldn't bear the sweetness of the past turning into hatred. He became ruthless, imprisoning her. To spare Wen Xinlan the torment of the poison, he willingly transformed into a demon to forcibly cure her. He was jealous of Mo Wanfeng; he could have killed him, but he didn't, knowing that if he did, Wen Xinlan would follow him in death. Only when Wen Xinlan, seeking revenge, chose to commit suicide by poison and have an abortion to sever their relationship did he finally give up. Before she died, Wen Xinlan wanted him to live, and he ultimately kept his word. Wen Xinlan died because of him, and at that moment, he truly regretted it. Wen Xinlan's only wish before death was for him to live, because she never wanted to see him again in this life, not even in the underworld. He knew she hated him, so he agreed to her request, allowing Mo Wanfeng and her to be together. She and Mo Wanfeng reunited in the underworld, while he was to be forever separated from her, spending the rest of his life atoning for his sins, forever living in the prison of memories, repenting for his past. This is a pure romance novel with very little political intrigue or palace drama. Both the Mo-Wen and Wen-Li couples suffer terribly; the male and female leads love each other but cannot be together, while the second male lead marries the female lead but can never win her heart. The female lead, to get revenge on the second male lead, is willing to poison herself and have an abortion to destroy him. Regardless of which couple you ship, it's a tragic ending; there are no epilogues or afterlife, only genuine heartbreak. The female lead misunderstands the second male lead until her death, and the male lead eventually commits suicide.
