Liu Yueniang once told her, "If you encounter regrets in the future and trying to change things is futile, just leave it to fate..."
Leave it to fate? If she were destined to live to a hundred without illness, pain, disasters, or misfortune, she would gladly leave it to fate. After all, she was lazy by nature and content to take life as it came. All she wanted was someone to feed her when she was hungry and give her a padded coat when she was cold. As long as she wasn't left starving or freezing, she'd be perfectly happy.
But why did everything have to go against her wishes?
Her soul had been summoned here and returned to life in the body of an eight-year-old girl, all to witness the rise and fall of this dynasty. So why couldn't they have arranged a peaceful path for her, one free of bloodshed?
She had to do everything she didn't want to do, leaving a trail of blood with every step, just to cling to life. If Heaven was about to bestow great responsibility upon someone, it would first make their heart suffer, strain their body, and starve them... couldn't she step aside and let someone else take her place? Let the capable take over, or let someone ambitious, someone who could sleep soundly even after taking a life, replace her?
All she wanted was to live in seclusion in the mountains, free from illness, pain, disasters, and misfortune, and to die of old age in peace, without illness, pain, disasters, or misfortune...
I have always liked the author's big books, they are very interesting
