Sixteen-year-old Pei Wan came from a noble family and entered the East Palace. She became very popular for a while, married the current prince, and later ascended the throne. When she was twenty-five years old, she became the queen.
For the next forty years, she was in a high position but had no children to live by, and even after her death she was in a state of unparalleled glory.
When she was sixteen again, Pei Wan made a bold decision to marry one of her father's disciples before the list of concubines in the palace came down, thus escaping the fate of entering the palace. She got her wish.
Later, when her husband was murdered and imprisoned, Pei Wan spent money to visit her. In the middle of winter, the wheels rolled over the thick snow, and the road was silent, and he walked straight through the palace gates.
She was sent into a palace that was familiar yet unfamiliar. The cold and slender fingertips touched her cheek. She heard a man's voice ringing in her ears: "Why, you don't want me anymore."
