Chapter 999: Waking Up (1)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Shen Miao had a long dream.
That dream seemed to be very, very long. She watched as a bystander as she went from a baby to a naughty little girl, from a naughty little girl to a graceful girl, to a young woman, to the unattainable empress, and finally to the deposed empress in the cold palace, turning into ashes in the raging fire.
She watched as she fell in love with Fu Xiuyi and begged Shen Xin to allow her to marry Fu Xiuyi. She shouted at her younger self that this path was going to lead her to hell, but to no avail. No one could hear her, so she could only watch helplessly as it happened again.
From the perspective of a bystander, Shen Miao finally understood how stupid she was. The most terrifying thing was to experience the heart-wrenching pain again. Her girlhood ended after she married Fu Xiuyi. Those carefree days, even if she was treated as a fool, were free and happy. When she was called Princess Consort Ding, her carefree days were gone and she was forced to be involved in the power game.
The people around her left one by one, and the first branch of the Shen family was gradually declining. The former prosperity was like flowers that bloomed in the spring, but as soon as the autumn wind blew, they withered, looking even more desolate.
In that dark life, she saw Xie Jingxing.
He was not that mischievous young man, nor was he that hero who died on the battlefield. He was as arrogant as he was in the next life. He rode a tall horse and carried a longbow. With a smile, he overthrew an empire. Under the bright moonlight, he drank the farewell wine she gave him. On the day of the invasion, he returned her the wish that she had made.
They had only met once and were clearly strangers, but through some freak of fate, they established a bond that was harder to break than anything.
Her wish was fulfilled because of him, and she was reborn because of him.
However, the fate of that life was really too short. Such a beautiful fate that made people look forward to ended tragically. It was a pity, which was why there was another life to continue the fate.
Shen Miao slowly opened her eyes.
As far as the eye could see, there was a tent. An exquisite sachet hung in one corner of the tent, probably to reduce the bitter medicinal smell.
Shen Miao looked up at her side.
The young man lay on the head of the bed, one hand still holding her hand tightly. His eyes were closed, and there was stubble on his chin. It was not obvious, but it was different from his usual neat appearance.
His hand was well-defined, slender, and warm, completely covering her hand. snen Ivnao only movea sngnt1Y, ana Nie Jingxmg woke up.
Seeing that her eyes were open, Xie Jingxing was stunned for a moment, as if he had yet to react.. After a pause, he suddenly said, “You’re awake!”
