    In the Imperial Garden, on a swing, sat a beautiful woman in pink palace attire, looking languid. Her face was charmingly innocent; the evening breeze caused her robes to flutter, revealing a delicate, alluring beauty. Yet, her gaze towards the clusters of peonies was filled with a desolate, snow-like loneliness. "Chun Nong, what year is it today?" "Reporting to the Noble Consort, today is the twentieth year of the Xihe era." A cold smile curled at Shen Yao's lips, a smile that seemed both sorrowful and mocking, but quickly turned into a sense of relief. She was a woman who had died once. In the twenty-first year of the Xihe era, Shen Yao, pregnant with the imperial heir, was first confined to her quarters and then sentenced to death by Emperor Lu Lingchuan for "disrespecting the Empress Dowager." Heaven, pitying her hasty and short life, allowed her to be reborn in the twentieth year of the Xihe era. Back in the Zichen Palace, Shen Yao looked at the piles of gold and jade bestowed upon her, truly dazzling with wealth. Now, she was still the emperor's darling. She was also the most esteemed figure in the Xihe Dynasty's harem besides the Empress Dowager. She was also the most feared by both the court and the harem, the most prone to jealousy, and the one who constantly sought to monopolize the Emperor's power—Consort Shen. Shen Yao felt no joy, only irony. She pinched her delicate wrist. The finger marks and pain reminded her that the palace's splendor and prosperity were real. She was still alive, and that was real too. In this life, Shen Yao was determined to stay away from Lu Lingchuan and become a leisurely consort in the harem. Since the Xihe Dynasty was wealthy, she would be a decorative consort, a pretty but useless ornament in this prosperous era.

    Losing his beloved from both past and present lives, he turned white-haired overnight. "In this life, I clearly met her first, we clearly fell in love first, how could I have lost her?" Bai Jingxuan hated himself, pounding his head in frustration. Thinking of the loving moments they shared in both lives, the longing and pain of those two lifetimes intertwined, forming a river of grief. He was heartbroken, his heart aching so much he could hardly breathe. Unable to suppress the overwhelming sorrow, he wept uncontrollably, his sobs echoing through the courtyard. The once dignified and refined young master Bai, unable to bear the blow of losing his beloved, turned white-haired overnight. He trudged through the snow-covered courtyard towards the gate, his robes fluttering, his silver hair flying, the snow swirling around him, he seemed to merge with the icy landscape, indistinguishable from it all. After leaving the mansion, he headed directly towards the Prince of An'nan's residence, An'nan silently following him from a short distance.
