Memories from their first lifetime flooded into Pei Xiao’s mind, wave after wave.
It began on the thirtieth day of his army’s famine, when an ancestral jade pendant unexpectedly opened a path to a strange Spatial Dimension. On the other side of this space was a kind-hearted girl named Luo Xueyao. Though they could never meet, he could clearly feel her warmth and goodwill. She supported him selflessly, sending him all manner of food every single day.
Pei Xiao had nothing to offer in return, so he sent back the gold, silver, and precious antiques from the General’s estate through the space. At first, the girl refused, saying the items were too expensive and she couldn’t accept them. But once she learned that there were 150,000 lives hanging in the balance, she finally relented. She had even sounded a bit embarrassed, saying, "Um... I can buy things for you, but... I... I don't have that much money... so, can I sell these things to get the cash?"
