Jiang Zhuiyue transmigrates to this dynasty and saves someone.
The man calls himself Xie Zhenyu. His parents are both dead, he has been attacked by bandits, and he has lost all his family property.
How is that any different from her own situation in this world?
Jiang Zhuiyue has never loved anyone like this. She always wakes in the middle of the night, then turns to stare at the person beside her.
Xie Zhenyu, you can't leave, can you?
Xie Zhenyu, you're an orphan, right?
Until one day, while they are going down the mountain, a teahouse catches fire. Jiang Zhuiyue risks her life to save him.
When she wakes, she hears the voice of the person who has been at her side day and night outside the door.
"There were too many eyes watching me outside, and I couldn't know who was beside me, so I borrowed my cousin's identity to enter the world."
So all along, was she, Jiang Zhuiyue, the only one who was alone?
.
When Xie Sui wakes, the first thing he sees is Jiang Zhuiyue's eyes, brimming with selfish desire.
So when Jiang Zhuiyue asks about his past, he casually invents a false identity with no future and nowhere to go.
The orphan girl knows nothing of etiquette, yet she does everything he asks, caring for him in every way. The two even become lovers.
And yet she is so presumptuous as to cling to him, even waking him in the middle of the night to ask whether he will stay with her forever.
But it doesn't matter. Once they return to Liangzhou, dressed in silks and surrounded by splendor, she will understand how foolish her wishes are.
Until she abandons him in danger to save Xie Zhenyu.
"You said you had no family and nowhere to turn, just like me. That's why I saved you."
Jiang Zhuiyue's gaze is empty and numb.
"Now you're back home in glory, with a bright future ahead. Have you shown off enough in front of me, you bitch?"
"Xie Zhenyu was the one who stayed with me through the most terrifying time of my life. So I choose Xie Zhenyu. What does that have to do with you, Xie Sui?"
"What excuse could you possibly have? If you hadn't stolen your cousin's name, I wouldn't have saved you. Xie Sui was supposed to die. So go and die obediently."
Later, he snatches Jiang Zhuiyue from the Xie household and forces her to start over with him.
But she only wants Xie Zhenyu.
