The stakes in these chapters are operating on multiple levels and I love how layered it all is. On the personal level: Yunxi has approximately three months to live. Her soul is fragmented. She needs the Ziwei Star, but even if she finds it, she might still die young unless she can restore her Three Hun and Seven Po. This is a ticking clock that hangs over every single scene. On the supernatural level: there's a vengeful ghost who was murdered and couldn't reincarnate. The person responsible holds high status in the capital. Yunxi just promised to help her, which means she's now targeting someone powerful. That's dangerous. On the political level: Zhan Beiyuan is being assassinated. Over a dozen trained killers, archers on rooftops, coordinated attack. This isn't random violence—this is someone who wants him dead and has the resources to make it happen. The Bloodlight Disaster Yunxi warned him about is real, and it's only the beginning. And on the family level: Jiang Chenyu is clinging to a life that isn't hers. Madam Mu is choosing the wrong daughter. The grandmother is trying to do right by both of them. Yunxi is caught in the middle and she's already made her stance clear—she won't be pushed around. What makes all this work is that the author never lets the stakes drop. Even in the quiet breakfast scene with Grandmother, there's the underlying knowledge that Yunxi is dying. Every warm moment is tinged with tragedy. Every conflict feels urgent because we know what's at stake. The question now is: who ordered the assassination? Who murdered the ghost? And can Yunxi save everyone before her time runs out? I need to know.

A beautiful read from a talented writer.
Unique plot! I admire your writing style!
When can we see a chapter where Madelyn sees how Much Zac love and protect her, and what chapter Zac’s love be reciprocated. I would like to see romance and peace from Zac and Madelyn. I find it peaceful when they look at each other and talk to each other just like when they were picking up flowers.
