Ten years ago, she was the most dazzling young noblewoman in the capital, and he was her childhood sweetheart. They had promised to spend their lives together.
Then a sudden upheaval shattered all their promises and happiness.
Her family was framed and destroyed. She fell from a towering cliff, survived by sheer luck, and changed her appearance.
Ten years later, she was living under an assumed name as a teacher at a women's academy in Jiangnan, carrying a grudge and secrets she could not let go of.
And he, ten years later, stepped back into her world on a spring day when the peach blossoms were in full bloom.
The newly appointed regional inspector of Jiangnan held power over the region. Cold and decisive, he nonetheless felt a strange familiarity in his heart the moment he saw her.
He had never forgotten the girl who had once been his fiancée, not for a single day.
That sense of recognition followed him like a shadow, yet he couldn't put it into words.
Was she the girl he remembered? And why did she avoid him, treating him with icy indifference?
In March in Jiangnan, old friends meet again.
She relies on his influence to pursue the truth, one step at a time.
Will her path of revenge finally clear her family's name?
Can he recover the lover he once knew from beneath her icy exterior, or is he doomed to be nothing more than a pawn in her revenge?
That year, the capital was full of peach blossoms. They first promised themselves to each other.
She lowered her eyes and looked away from him, her ears turning red, her expression full of shy delight.
He smiled, his gaze warm, his eyes bright with youthful cheer.
Ten years later, at a women's academy in Jiangnan. Peach blossoms bloomed brilliantly in a spring daydream.
"An old friend? I'm afraid you've mistaken me for someone else, my lord."
She smiled gently and turned away, her expression cold as frost.
"Do you know that I'm willingly letting you use me?" He smiled bitterly.
"I'm making amends to the Gu family, but please... don't give up on me."
"Does our engagement... still stand?" he asked in a trembling voice.
She raised her gaze slightly, her voice cold. "Lord Gu, did our engagement back then save my father and mother?"
He looked utterly lost. "If only I could start over..."
"If I could start over," she said, her eyes like knives, "I would wish never to have met you in this life."
