The rebel army stormed the capital on the eve of Qiao Shuyue's execution. The rebel leader overthrew the tyrant and took his place, granting amnesty to all. She lived.
The new emperor summoned Qiao Shuyue to the grand hall, gazed at her for a long moment, and softly said, "Stay."
Love at first sight, unwavering for a lifetime. She accompanied the emperor for three years, yet still could not heal the sickness that plagued her.
During a bout of severe illness, she smiled and said:
"I heard that as a child, Your Majesty was nearly sacrificed in a ritual, barely escaping with your life. Later, you were sold into forced labor and suffered endless torment."
The emperor's gaze was gentle, his smile unwavering. "Why? Has this shattered the wise and mighty image you had of me?"
"No, it only makes me admire you even more."
The emperor set out on a western expedition, intending to return in triumph and finally ask for her hand in marriage. But fate was cruel-by the time he came back, she was already on the verge of death, never getting to see him one last time.

She was reborn, returning to her childhood.
Qiao Shuyue begged her brother to take her to save someone. When they arrived, they saw a burly man pressing a frail young boy down, trying to drown him in a slop bucket.
The boy stared at the man with the fierce, untamed gaze of a wolf cub-unyielding, dark, and sharp.
That was her wise and mighty emperor!
"Let him go!"
Her voice was full of authority, yet still carried the softness of a child.
Qiao Shuyue charged forward on her short little legs like a cannonball.
