What is fate?
For Lin Yao before the age of eighteen, it was just the tears she shed as if she felt the word destiny faintly revealed in the book in the dead of night, but for Lin Yao after the age of eighteen, it was a life of wandering with unknown meaning.
She accidentally traveled through time and became a world-famous noblewoman, but also a prisoner who barely survived in the world. She has been betrayed by others, and she has also failed others. She was aggrieved, but in the end she learned to settle down and live her life.
Standing at the end of her life, she seems to have something, as if she has learned something, but what is destiny? She opened her mouth, as if thousands of words were about to pour out, but they condensed together, collided with each other, and finally got stuck in her throat.
In her destiny, there are herself and others, each other's sincerity and each other's selfishness. They are intertwined. In the end, she doesn't know whether she followed her fate or changed her fate.

In the 20th year of Jingchun, the world was at peace.
Lin Yao suddenly had the idea of listening to music, so she took Xie Yongqing to the theater.
When they came out, dusk had fallen and heavy snow was falling. The scenery was so pure that it seemed as if all the past years had been washed away, bringing them back to the heavy snow they first encountered.
The two of them wanted to walk back together, so they walked side by side, holding hands, leaving a series of parallel footprints in the snow.
Before he could get out of the drama, and because he had always wanted to ask, Xie Yongqing pretended to be casual and said: "Then are you still willing to be with me in the next life?"
Lin Yao thought for a moment and then said, "I hope I don't have another life."
"What should I do?"
"You were born into an ordinary family, grew up safely, married a wife and had children, served your parents, spent your old age peacefully, and died in good health."
Lin Yao knew that Xie Yongqing wouldn't like this answer, but she still wanted to say that if he really had an afterlife, this would be her best wish for him.
But she didn't want these words to ruin the mood of the two of them at the moment, so she pinched Xie Yongqing's fingertips and smiled slyly at him.
Xie Yongqing obviously understood her intention, glanced at her sideways, and then gently raised the corners of his lips as she wished.
Intention: Self-respect, self-love, self-improvement
