The dim light of dawn fell in scattered patches across the vermilion-and-gold corridor. The palace lanterns still creaked and swayed in the wind, their dark red candlelight flickering.
The chief eunuch held out a strip of white silk. “Your Highness, are you ready to go?”
She shook her head and began to smile, breathtakingly beautiful and utterly captivating. “I just want to wait for someone. I promised him I would.”
The eunuch gave a strange smile. His voice, sharp and savage like a woman's, echoed dully through the vast, desolate palace.
“Why cling to the past, Your Highness? The days gone by are but a dream. What promise could ever be kept? Let this old servant help you on your way.”
She smiled faintly and said nothing. With an eerie, graceful air, she lifted her skirt and crossed to a table nearby, where she sat down. Her jade fingers plucked the white jade zither, and its music rang out melodiously.
Wild geese fly apart, forgetting the way home
Our ties, too, have come undone
And we have forgotten each other
In the end, it was all for nothing
We vowed to stay together forever; the bluebird wept as wind and rain filled the halls
With a hollow sigh, the embroidered mandarin ducks fell away, slowly dying
A strange smile spread across the eunuch's lips. With a casual touch, he sent the red candle on the table quietly tumbling down, setting the gauzy curtains all around the room ablaze.
Flames surged in every direction, and once again the palace sky turned red. Red as blood.
Buli let out a cry and sat up in bed...

Theme:
There are many, many doubts, and some parts I still don't understand~~
Traveling back and forth between modern and ancient times Not bad
It was a bit unclear at first, but luckily I can understand it later.
It misled me in the beginning that there was a man in the grave who was the heroine's true love... ||||
This story was really confusing at first, but I finally understood it after reading it. To be honest, the plot and content are not great, but for the hard work of coding, I'll give it points!
The ending of the previous life was a bit sad
What a mess?
The story seems okay, but it is a bit confusing. The story is about the process, whether it is a tragedy or a comedy. Some foreshadowing should be used to connect the whole story. Even if there are gaps, after reading it again, the overall aftertaste will be "Oh, so that's it!"
Very good article…
It's just that I don't quite understand what happened to Uwa and Yue Yue? Did Uwa Ri end up like this? The protagonist of MS is Tamawa Ri?...
