A Serene, Elegant Romance

The Sequel to "Count to Three, Then Say Goodbye"

As if sinking into icy, pitch-black water, I curled up and hugged myself tight. [Mengfei, wait for me...]

No one else can give me the sweetness, free of even a hint of bitterness, that you did. Now that you're gone, how am I supposed to go on living alone?

Mengfei, I'm sleepy. For the first time, I'm sleepy without resting my head on your arm. I wish I could sleep forever and never wake up, so I wouldn't find you gone from my side.

She wakes in the Forbidden City at the end of the Ming dynasty, reborn as the youngest daughter of Chongzhen, the dynasty's last emperor. A jade pendant points her toward the future. She must find the person who bears the same mark as the pendant, someone who can lead her to the love of her previous life, Kuang Mengfei. But why does the future of the Qing dynasty depend on her, a Ming princess? Amid the vast sea of humanity, who is the person marked like the pendant? And where is Mengfei waiting for her?

She unwittingly witnesses the Ming dynasty's brutal collapse, from top to bottom, and becomes entangled in the palace struggle for life and death at the dawn of the Qing dynasty. It doesn't matter whether she is He Ya, who died in 2006, or Princess Zhaoren, who awoke in 1663. All she wants is to find that one person, Kuang Mengfei, in this turbulent mortal world.
