share time: 2025-11-24 00:34:09

Shen Zhaohuan, the "smiling Yama" of Shengjing City, makes a living writing life stories for the dying. She falls for Gu Jin, the cold-faced general about to go to war—she secretly draws a little peach blossom in his Book of the Dead, hoping he'll return safely. But three years later, when Gu Jin returns in triumph, he brings evidence of her entire family's treason. In the firelight, she clutches the paper with the peach blossom and asks, "Did you ever believe me?" He says coldly, "Never." When she opens her eyes again, she's back to the morning before Gu Jin's expedition. This time, she's determined to clear her family's name, but why is the always distant Gu Jin secretly handing her warm stoves and blocking cold arrows behind her? Did the "cold-faced general" of her past hide unspoken feelings?
