Springtime Through the Seasons

Zhou Yan protected Song Ning for twenty whole years. At the darkest moments of her life, it was Zhou Yan who pulled her back from the abyss time and again. She once believed that even if the world fell apart and everyone turned against her, Zhou Yan would always stand in front of her to protect her. Until that day, eyes bloodshot, he clamped his hand around her slender neck and carved each word into her heart: “Song Ning! The biggest regret of my life is ever getting involved with you!” So she set a fire and burned all their love, hate, and obsession to ashes. When she opened her eyes again, she had returned to the age of eighteen, to the year Zhou Yan loved her most. The young man's face was unchanged, his love as deep as the sea, but her heart was as cold as the moon, and she could no longer summon the slightest affection for him. Everyone said she had gone mad, abandoning the devoted Zhou Yan to marry Xie Yan, that gloomy, antisocial man. But only she knew that she would use Xie Yan to settle every blood debt from her previous life, one by one! Yet one night, she woke from a nightmare, tears still on her cheeks. The man who wielded power over the entire court held her in his arms, utterly at a loss. His hoarse voice awkwardly tried to soothe her: “Don't be afraid... I'm here.” Only then did she realize that what she had been searching for was not another weapon of revenge, but a tenderness meant for her alone.
