At the end of winter this year, Wen He’an lost power, was deposed, and exiled to the Ruins of Gui Xu. She was born into a top aristocratic family in Tiandu and was once a figure who stirred up great turmoil with her words and smiles. Everyone said that her downfall this time, the loss of both reputation and influence, was entirely due to the word “love.”
Wen He’an had been married once before. The man’s family background, strength, and appearance were all top-tier, and he was highly renowned. Their union was a powerful alliance between families and had nothing to do with romantic love. This marriage later ended with particular calm.
The person who truly caused her “confusion and infatuation” was a hostage from the Eastern State Royal Court residing in Tiandu. He was gentle, refined, serene, and peaceful. Yet, at the most crucial moment, he rallied her dependents, allied with her powerful rivals, and threw the fatal evidence of power-usurpation upon her, while he himself used the momentum to rapidly ascend to prominence and gracefully withdrew.
As all the dust settled, Wen He’an looked at the Gui Xu barrier, where waves surged for a thousand miles, and thought she no longer had a chance to rise again.

It was midwinter, and the weather was cold at the end of the year.
Wen He An wrapped herself tightly and returned to her shabby house with her medicine. She found that there were two or three white-robed painters guarding outside the house. They lowered their eyes and nodded to her silently, something so familiar that it was shocking.
She pushed the door open.
She saw Lu Yu Ran.
Even at Tiandu’s imperial court that was full of rich and powerful people, Lu Yu Ran’s name was like ink on the white snow, standing out.
He was the emperor’s descendants for whom everyone had high expectations, had fought and emerged as a winner from a hundred battles, had a sharp and unstoppable spirit. A real flawless white jade and a peerless genius…
Currently, if there was only one stain on him, it would be Wen He An.
As a partner who used to have a strong marriage alliance with Wen He An.
“I came here today to ask you something.”
On that snowy day, Lu Yu Ran stood in front of a ruined window in a gorgeous cloak. His stunning eyes were reflected by the snow, and her tone was as hateful as before: “After what happened, was your blindness completely cured?”
“……?”
“If it was.”
He stepped back and looked at her from more than ten steps away, with a cold and frosty look overflowing from his lazy eyelashes: “Do you want to follow me?”
“Go back and die.”
