Shen Xian concealed the affair between Qin Shi and Gu Cheng.
She did not know if her actions held much significance, but at least in the eyes of Bai Zhan's parents, Qin Shi remained that pure and white girl, unmingled with anything else. Perhaps when they beheld her memory in the future, their grief wouldn't compound.
In accordance with Qin Shi's last wishes, they buried her in Baiwang Mountain. That mountain faced the one where Bai Zhan lay; this was their closest proximity.
That day, Beiji welcomed the season's first summer rain.
Zhou Mu and Daming Chengzi, along with those from the team who had met Qin Shi, all attended her funeral. Aside from Shen Xian, no one knew why Qin Shi had chosen to end her young life at that time. Everyone was heartbroken, and Liao Wan cried to the point of near fainting.
