She turned around and saw the man in a blue robe, tall and resolute, like a pine or bamboo. In an instant, it was as if the world was spinning, and she was back to the time when they first met many years ago. At that time, she was in a red dress, bright and beautiful, in the best time of her life, while he stood downstairs. Among a hundred or so people, he was the only one who stood tall and elegant, with a smile in his eyes.
Later, they supported each other through the chaos of war and displacement, from the narrow city of Suiping to the magnificent capital of Yujing. She used all her strength to love and hate him, and finally died at his hands. But she never expected that when they met again, it would not be in the underworld, but in the ghost market of Heling.

"What about the rabbit?" Qi Xiuyuan looked around after hearing her question. "If you like, you can buy one."
Zhu Jiayu smiled indifferently and said, "They're gone. We really should go back now, otherwise the people at the manor will be worried when they can't find us."
Qi Xiuyuan nodded and said, "Okay."
