Shen Miao had a very long dream.
That dream seemed to be very, very long, as long as a lifetime. She watched as a bystander watched herself from a babbling baby to a bouncing young girl, from a bouncing young girl to a slender young lady, then to a young married woman, then to the unattainable ruler of the Six Palaces in the Palace, and finally to the deposed Empress in the Cold Palace, turning into ashes in the raging fire.
She watched herself fall in love with Fu Xiu Yi, and begged Shen Xin to marry her to Fu Xiu Yi. She sat at the side, desperately trying to stop her foolish actions, but it was futile. No one could hear her words, so she could only watch everything happen again.
From a bystander's point of view, how foolish was the things that she did in the past. Shen Miao finally understood now. The most terrifying thing was to once again experience the heart-wrenching pain of the past. Her teenage years ended after she married Fu Xiu Yi. Those carefree days, even if she was called stupid by others, were at the end free and happy. And when she became Ding Wangfei, she was forced to be involved in these intrigues.
Even her pair of children could not escape.
The people around her left one by one, and the First household of the Shen family gradually declined. The once flourishing flowers were like flowers that bloomed to the extreme in spring, but once spring passed, summer came, and when the autumn wind blew, it would wither, making it look cold and shabby.
In that dark life where there was almost no light, there were some things that she had overlooked. Those things were like the stars in the dark night, covered by other things and became unreal. Accidentally discovered, bright as before. Also like the embers of fireworks that accidentally broke into one's own courtyard, with a little bright colour, making that dry and cold night become fragrant.
She saw Xie Jing Xing.
Not that stubborn youth, not that hero that died on the battlefield. He was as arrogant as he was in the future, riding a tall horse, carrying a longbow, and in the midst of talking and laughing, he overturned an imperial court. He drank the farewell wine that she gave him under the bright moonlight, and on the dark day when the city was breached, he gave her a wish that she could not fulfill in her entire life.
They had seen a fireworks show in the daytime, even if they hadn't broken the promise of that New Year's Eve. They were clearly strangers who met by chance, but he had become the most indispensable person in her life.
Because of him, her wish was fulfilled, and because of him, she was reborn.
It was just that the fate of that life was too short. Such a beautiful and anticipated fate was forced to stop because of the teasing of fate. What a pity. That was why there was a chance in this life. That short-lived fate was able to continue.
All the unspoken questions seemed to no longer need to be spoken. Many things disappeared at that moment, including the questions and the answers.
The karma of the past determines the outcome of the future.
Shen Miao slowly opened her eyes.
As far as the eye could see, it was the clear sky after the rain. An exquisite sachet was hanging in the corner of the mosquito net, probably to dilute the bitter smell of medicine. The fragrance and the smell of the herbs mixed together, creating a thought-provoking smell.
Shen Miao looked up to her side.
The young man leaned over the headboard, one hand still holding her hand tightly. His eyes were closed and there was a green stubble on his chin. It was not that obvious but it was different from his usual pampered appearance.
The joints of his hand were distinct, slender and warm, just enough to completely cover her hand. Shen Miao only moved slightly and Xie Jing Xing woke up.
Seeing that her eyes were open, Xie Jing Xing was surprised for a moment, as if he had not reacted. After a pause, he suddenly said, "You are awake!"
