But one day, she realizes that her feelings have changed.

Blurb:

[Innocent, doted-on young princess vs. devoted, wise emperor]

On a dark and windy night, Ren Nan'an dreamed.

She dreamed she was dressed as a man, riding boldly across the autumn hunt grounds. Her older brother, Ren Beining, followed close behind, worried for her safety, as did her princely cousin, Zhou Jiali, whose eyes were fixed on her.

The cool breeze brushed her face. Everything felt so real.

Ren Nan'an remembered: this was herself at thirteen.

She had thought that being reborn meant she would no longer have to worry about an arranged marriage to a foreign land. But just as she read the contents of a letter she had received that day, the dream ended.

The next day, Ren Nan'an received another letter. That night, after reading it, she dreamed again, returning to the past described in the letter.

Gradually, she came to understand another side of the past: the writer was her cousin, Emperor Zhou Jiali, who had already "passed away."

And Zhou Jiali had secretly loved her.

His wish was to marry her.

To discover the true cause of Zhou Jiali's death, she reads letter after letter and dreams again and again, carrying her memories of him as she meets him anew.

-

Ever since catching a brief glimpse of his cousin Ren Nan'an at the general's residence as a boy, Zhou Jiali had been unable to forget her.

Over time, he took to writing letters, setting down the wishes he had always known he could never fulfill:

He wanted to share with Ren Nan'an the joy of winning a prize at the hunt.

He wanted to watch a grand fireworks display with her.

He wanted to marry her...

[Scene 1]

As someone close to the emperor, Eunuch Su naturally knows many of His Majesty's unspeakable secrets. One of them is that whenever he has a spare moment, the emperor returns to his bedchamber and takes a treasured portrait from a cabinet, gazing at it for a long time.

Eunuch Su knows exactly who the person in the portrait is: Ren Nan'an, the legitimate daughter of General Ren.

Like the other palace attendants serving the emperor, he understands how deeply His Majesty loves the princess. Yet he watches the emperor, unable to marry the woman he loves, live out his days with regret.

[Scene 2]

Dressed in red, Ren Nan'an travels with the bridal procession to another country. Before long, they reach Xianzhou, where a group of black-clad assassins suddenly appears and surrounds them.

Driven to the edge of a cliff, Ren Nan'an has nowhere left to run.

She glances down at the mountain depths veiled by clouds and, while the assassins stare in shock, leaps without hesitation. "Zhou Jiali, I love you too."

"Now I'm coming to be with you..."

When she opens her eyes again, a familiar figure stands beside her bed, his hands clasped behind his back. His posture is just like Zhou Jiali's.

Ren Nan'an's eyes redden and her voice trembles. "Zhou Jiali...?"

"It's me."
