The side story has been completed, bringing the series to a perfect close.

Three days later.

Su Wanqing welcomed her first "retrospection" as promised.

Late that night, she lay in bed, her consciousness gradually fading.

The mechanical voice rang in my ears—

"Time's up. Rewind begins."

The next second, her consciousness was pulled by a tremendous force and plunged into a void of darkness.

When she opened her eyes again, the world had changed.

Artillery fire. Smoke. Cries and screams.

This is a real battlefield.

Not far away, a boy covered in blood was desperately crawling towards her.

She would never mistake those eyes.

It's Lu Zhanting.

Lu Zhanting at the age of thirteen.

"Help...help me..."

The boy's voice was weak, but it carried a strong will to survive.

Su Wanqing's tears instantly burst forth.

She rushed over and hugged him.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

"I've come to save you."

She took out the spiritual spring from her spatial storage and fed it to him little by little.

The boy's wounds began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.

He opened his eyes, looked at the unfamiliar yet warm girl before him, and murmured—

Are you... an angel?

Su Wanqing shook her head, smiling through her tears.

"no."

"I am your future wife."

"My name is Su Wanqing."

"You must remember my name."

"Come and marry me in fifteen years."

The boy stared at her blankly, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

“Su Wanqing…”

He repeated the name over and over again, as if trying to etch it into the depths of his soul.

"I've got it."

"I will definitely come to find you."

"must."

Su Wanqing smiled.

She lowered her head and placed a light kiss on the boy's forehead.

"I'm waiting for you."

As soon as she finished speaking, her figure began to become transparent.

The time for rewind has come.

"wait for me--"

The boy roared, trying to grab her, but only grasped at nothingness.

The last thing Su Wanqing saw was the tearful light in the boy's eyes and his unwavering determination.

When she woke up again, she had returned to the modern world.

Lu Zhanting sat on the edge of the bed, holding her hand tightly.

"You're back"

His voice carried an undisguised mix of nervousness and relief.

"Um."

Su Wanqing nodded, her eyes still glistening with tears.

I've seen you.

"You at thirteen."

She paused, then suddenly smiled.

"You were so thin back then."

"Like a little bean sprout."

Lu Zhanting: "..."

He couldn't help but chuckle.

"So that's why you went there, to look down on me."

No way.

Su Wanqing threw herself into his arms and hugged him tightly.

"I just feel so sorry for him."

"My heart aches for you, fighting desperately to survive on the battlefield."

Lu Zhanting's body stiffened.

Then, he sighed deeply and hugged her even tighter.

"fool."

"That's all in the past."

"I have you now."

That's enough.

Su Wanqing's tears fell silently.

"Lu Zhanting".

"Um"

"I love you."

"I love you too."

"I will love you in this life, the next life, and all the lifetimes to come."

Outside the window, the sun is shining brightly.

Peaceful times and a promising future await us.

Five years later.

Su Wanqing's "Renxintang" has become a nationally renowned holy site for traditional Chinese medicine.

Countless patients with intractable diseases travel from all over the country to seek medical treatment.

Lu Zhanting also stepped down from his position as the dean of the "Guardian Academy" to devote himself entirely to her side.

That evening, the two of them took a walk hand in hand in the courtyard.

A five-year-old boy came running over excitedly.

"Dad! Mom!"

That was their son, Lu Anzhi.

He inherited his father's handsomeness and his mother's charm; he's a little guy that everyone loves.

"What's wrong"

Su Wanqing squatted down and rubbed her son's head.

Grandma said we're having dumplings tonight!

The little guy exclaimed excitedly, "I want to eat lots and lots of food!"

"Okay, okay, eat more."

Su Wanqing nodded with a smile.

Lu Zhanting then reached out and picked up his son.

"Kid, your mom's pregnant with your little brother, don't let her get too tired."

"Okay, Daddy's the best!"

The little guy gave him a big kiss on the cheek.

Su Wanqing watched this scene with a heart full of happiness.

She once thought that she would spend her life in revenge and regret.

But fate gave her a second chance.

That's how she met Lu Zhanting.

This is the man who was willing to wait for her for fifteen years and was willing to protect her for a lifetime.

"Qingqing".

Lu Zhanting suddenly called her name.

"Um"

Have you ever regretted it?

"You regret marrying me."

Su Wanqing paused for a moment, then smiled.

What do you think?

Lu Zhanting also smiled.

He leaned down and placed a light kiss on her lips.

"The best decision I've ever made in my life was waiting for you."

"I will marry you."

"Love you."

Su Wanqing's eyes reddened again.

She tiptoed and returned his kiss.

"Me too."

As the sun set, it cast long, long shadows of the three people.

Throughout their lives, they endured hardships and transcended time and space.

Finally, in the prime of their lives, they will grow old together hand in hand.

For the rest of my life, I only wish for peaceful times and to stay together until old age.
