On the night when Shen Shiyuan married into the Pei family, red candles burned until dawn.
She has never met her husband. He opened his hijab and met a pair of cold eyes - Pei Yanzhi, the young minister of Dali Temple. He became famous at a young age and was rejected by others. He said in a routine manner, "If you are tired, take a rest." Then he turned and went to the study.
She didn't know how to live her whole life with this strange man.
But starting from her wedding night, every night when she dreamed, she would see a short-haired girl standing in a school she had never seen before. She stopped a boy generously and said with a smile: "My name is Cheng Zhiyi, and I want to get to know you." She watched the girl approach and not flinch even when rejected. After waking up, she tried to say to Pei Yanzhi - "When will your husband return today?"
Pei Yanzhi was stunned.
She didn't know that in another time and space, the college student named Cheng Zhiyi was having the same dream - dreaming about how an ancient woman named Shen Shiyuan clumsily opened the heart of an indifferent man under the red candle using the method she had learned. Two lights, two time and space. They are each other's love strategy, and they are also each other's answer that they can't wait for when they are trapped in the ferry.
It wasn't until Shen Shiyuan found an old faded handkerchief in Pei Yanzhi's study that she knew that he had always had someone else in his heart. And Cheng Zhiyi had just discovered that the boy she had been chasing for two years had a childhood sweetheart who had been waiting for him for eight years.
What's even more frightening is that they begin to dream about war, city walls, and a young general wearing armor. That face is exactly the same as Pei Yanzhi.
This is not a dream. This is a debt from a previous life.
Concept: Love is not an innate talent, but a choice that can be learned. When two fragments of souls in time and space teach each other through dreams and each clumsily walk towards the same person, they finally understand that finding each other in life after life is not fate, but choosing to believe again in every life.
