---- Synopsis ----
Shen Yanning thought that if she had never met Xiao Qin, she would have met Lin Zongxi much sooner, and the two of them would have been together much sooner, too.
But she took one wrong step. Back then, she had stepped through the gates of Prince Ling's residence.
Was it inevitable? Was everything inevitable? Now she thought that she had to go through it all, step inside and then back out, only to return to this path in the end. In this life, she was destined to be with Lin Zongxi.
She was one of the bricks in a towering structure, an indispensable one.
She could not let her own faint, intangible desires destroy the tower everyone had worked so hard to build.
