Xu Xiyue was the pampered Princess Sheng’an. Her life had gone smoothly since childhood, and she got whatever she wanted, except when it came to her childhood friend, Lin Yanbai, who repeatedly rebuffed her.
Everyone in the capital knew that Lin Yanbai, son of the prime minister, was noble and self-disciplined, and that he most disliked the willful, spoiled Princess Sheng’an.
One day, Xu Xiyue quarreled with Lin Yanbai again and challenged someone to a horse race. She accidentally fell from her horse and passed out on the spot, only to dream of her past life...
To spite Lin Yanbai, she had angrily married Wei Liangyan, a young nobleman who was at odds with him.
After their marriage, Wei Liangyan grew to despise her. With a letter of divorce, she became a laughingstock throughout the capital.
The always-proud Xu Xiyue could not bear the humiliation and set fire to her palace. She never expected Lin Yanbai to risk his life by rushing into the flames.
Even more surprising, when the most proper and upright gentleman saw her remains, he was so devastated that his hair turned white overnight.
He even had a memorial tablet enshrined for her and never married for the rest of his life.
When she opened her eyes again, Lin Yanbai was leaning over her and staring at her. His boyish face was much younger than in the dream, but he already had the bearing of the distinguished man he would become, with the grace of rosy clouds and moonlight.
When he saw her wake, Lin Yanbai straightened up and put on a stern expression. “You can’t even ride a horse...”
Memories of her past life flooded back. Xu Xiyue’s eyes turned red, and she threw herself into his arms, weeping like a flower in the rain. “Lin Yanbai, what took you so long?”
With a chorus of “Hugging and cuddling? How improper!” blaring in his head, Lin Yanbai froze for a long time before finally reacting. Awkwardly, he wrapped an arm around her waist.
He thought, fine. Just this once.
