Song Ting had a secret no one knew.
She had been reborn, but she had lost her hearing.
Yet Heaven granted her a strange gift: whenever she came close to a slave, her hearing returned.
With the slave by her side, she was able to hear; when he was away from her, no sound could reach her ears.
For the sake of her hearing, Song Ting sought out the slave she had personally given away in her previous life.
Just as she had before, she cared for him devotedly. Though his status was low, she never looked down on him.
Not only because she believed all people were equal, but because she knew that the slave now trapped in a corner of the world would one day rise up, bring prosperity to all under Heaven, and become a king renowned far and wide.
Song Ting only wanted to keep him by her side a little longer before his opportunity came, so she could hear more of the world's beautiful sounds. When the time came, she would let him go, free to soar beneath the vast sky.
But as time passed, Song Ting never saw the day he left the Song household to make his mark on the world. Instead, after she had offered him advice on several occasions, the man who seemed so gentle on the surface pinned her beneath him, tormenting her with bitter kisses. "Who are you planning to give me to this time?"

In her previous life, Sui Chenqi had returned to the capital after earning peerless merit and being ennobled as a king. The first thing he did was dig up her grave, embrace Song Ting's icy corpse, and swear to the heavens:
"I'll trade all the merit I've earned in this life so she will never leave me in her next."
