(A short story of 30,000 words, a melodramatic love story)
Li Lingzhao was the royal family's second princess and was also hailed as the "Red-Clad War Goddess" of Dasheng. She had never lost a battle and was a hero in the people's eyes.
Alas, heroes don't live long. She died in a palace coup.
Chu Ji used forbidden magic to turn back time and save Li Lingzhao from her murder.
But the seeds of cause and effect had already been sown. In the end, she could not escape dying on the battlefield...
After being reincarnated, Li Lingzhao became the youngest daughter of a marquis's household, named Fang Xuening. Chu Ji, meanwhile, became her nominal older brother, Fang Xuezhi.
Fang Xuening had no great ambitions in life. She only wished for her family to live quietly and peacefully.
But her love for her older brother was something the world would never accept. And with the court growing ever weaker, a princess had to be sent away for a political marriage.
Fang Xuening was tricked into the bridal sedan, but on the way, the wedding procession encountered a once-in-a-millennium avalanche. Everyone in the procession died except her.
At the crucial moment, Fang Xuezhi awakened his memories and powers from his past life, and rescued his beloved amid the swirling snow.
