[Cool, ethereal beauty x spirited young general]
Lu Xueqing, the legitimate daughter of the prime minister, was framed by her stepmother and sent into the imperial harem to bring good fortune to the sickly emperor. On her wedding night, she died in a sea of flames.
When she awoke from a dream, she was reborn on the day her stepmother framed her for bringing misfortune to her young half-sister and sent her to a temple to pray for blessings. Seated in the carriage bound for Guiyuan Temple, she swore she would live differently this time.
Just as she was preparing to repay every grievance and avenge every wrong, the famed young general, a rising star in the capital, came knocking at her door.
As a young general, Xie Jiwen was the dream lover of countless young women in the capital. Whenever someone tried to introduce him to a well-born young lady, he would simply raise an eyebrow and smile. "Don't waste her time."
He was ambitious and free-spirited, and had never given romance a thought. But beneath the apricot tree that day, as petals fluttered through the air, that glimpse of spring stole his gaze.

Later, Lu Xueqing finally remembered the young general. On the night of her wedding in her previous life, as she walked alone along the long palace corridor, he had held up a lantern for her.
