Reborn and returned to the Land of Separation and Regret, Daiyu finally learned she was a character in a book. The rise and fall of the Rong and Ning houses, the pledge between wood and stone, the blood and tears soaking her handkerchief: all were nothing but illusory words... Reborn once more, Daiyu watched everything around her with cold eyes, until someone sent her a shattered golden lock and told her, "Pin'er, the past is like a dream. When it's time to let go, let go." -- On the night she was reborn, Xue Baochai melted the Cold Fragrance Pill, burned Admonitions for Women, and shattered her golden lock. The fierce blaze reflected on her composed face. "If the whole world is nothing but a prison of illusory words, then I'll overturn this endgame and take up the brush myself." Later, Daiyu wielded poetry like a sword, and the name Consort of Xiaoxiang became renowned throughout the land. Baochai took charge of the family business, and the Xue banners flew over the canal docks. Long afterward, Daiyu still remembered the night the two awakened souls from the book recognized each other. Sister Bao had said to her, "Instead of trusting in some destined match of gold and jade, let's forge a sword that can cut through fate and rewrite our verdicts." From then on, the hundred blossoms flourished, the thousand beauties rejoiced, and the women of the Red Chamber finally found their happy ending. Theme: Women shine in every era
