The retired emperor plays a merchant, Mingwei plays his wife, and the others play customers.

The retired emperor plays a chivalrous hero, while Mingwei plays an elderly and frail female knight-errant. It's just a pity for the sisters in the harem, who, being old, still have to play those nameless extras...

Mingwei found her ten years living in the Old Summer Palace to be exceptionally wonderful.

In the tenth year of the reign of Emperor Qian'an, the tenth year of the reign of Mingwei's son, Hongxu, Mingwei fell ill. Her illness was sudden and severe; even the best medicines could not help. Mingwei knew that her lifespan was nearing its end.

On her deathbed, Mingwei looked at the Emperor Emeritus with eyes full of reluctance.

Mingwei's soul was taken to the Bridge of Helplessness by the ghost messengers. While wandering on the bridge, not long after, a familiar person, etched into her very being, walked before her.

Mingwei knew that the Emperor Emeritus had arrived.

Mingwei and Yinchu did not choose to be reincarnated, but instead settled down in the underworld by the Bridge of Helplessness.

Every day she watched the ghosts brought by the ghost messengers and saw familiar faces, but she never saw her mother, Xu Lejin, who had always treated her like her own daughter and still called her Mingwei even though she was old.

After an unknown amount of time, the ghosts on the Bridge of Helplessness cut their hair short and changed their appearance.

The men wore novel clothes, and the women showed off their arms and legs, even wearing alluring makeup. Sometimes Mingwei found it interesting and would imitate those women, wearing daring clothes and different makeup.

However, no matter what Mingwei did, Yin Chu remained devoted to her.

Sometimes, Mingwei couldn't help but think how incredibly lucky she was in her life. Marrying an emperor and enjoying his unwavering favor for decades was something countless women dreamed of and longed for their entire lives.

Mingwei had to say that her elder sister, on whom her father, Feiyanggu, and mother, Jueluo, placed high hopes and who dreamed of becoming the fourth prince's wife, ultimately died in prison.

She lived a life without children, and died in a state of madness, her face wrinkled and her hair white; she was no longer the stunning beauty who once captivated the nation with her breathtaking dance that once graced the capital.

As for her twin sister Yirou, Mingwei could only sigh, "Everything is predestined, and there's nothing we can do about it!"
