For some reason, Shu Yun suddenly recalled the time when Jiang Yan was still a mortal. They had just left the Lan Dynasty capital and she went back to save a demon with painted skins.
The demon was drugged, her body went limp, and her demonic power was locked. She managed to hold on to her last breath and not faint, desperately begging for help.
It wasn't about giving her an antidote or helping her get rid of her demon identity; it was about asking him to help her save the Lan Dynasty emperor named Wei Qin.
Unfortunately, as a goddess, she was unable to intervene in the war between the two countries, especially since her lover, Wei Tan, had voluntarily chosen to live and die with the nation.
Shu Yun recalled the painted-skin demon holding her lover's head, its eyes unfocused as it rejected her, saying it was all different.

Jiang Yan is still Jiang Yan, and their souls are the same. However, after being reincarnated, Jiang Yan can no longer remember her or their past.
He's not even called Jiang Yan anymore; it wasn't the name she gave him. Instead, he's become another person arranged for him by fate.
Shu Yun looked up and saw the cold, lonely moon hanging high in the sky. The moonlight was soft, but she felt her eyes sting with tears.
Even though it made it difficult to breathe, Shu Yun put the veil back on.
She didn't want anyone to see her cry.
