Murong Jiu felt fulfilled and happy every day.
But that night, she was beset by nightmares once again.
In the dream, boundless blood stained the earth a glaring red.
Familiar faces flitted before her eyes, each marked with ghastly traces of blood.
Struggling to wake, she found her hand was being tightly grasped—it took her a while to recognize that the person was Jun Yuyan.
"You're back? How... how did I sleep so long?"
She turned to see sunlight streaming in, too bright to her eyes, indicating it was well past morning.
"Chun Tao and Hong Yi said you had nightmares the whole night and couldn't be awakened; what unpleasant things did you dream of this time?"
Jun Yuyan looked at her anxiously, his gaze sweeping over the string of beads on her wrist.
She had clearly reclaimed the bracelet from the Fourth Prince; how could she have fallen into a nightmare again?
Murong Jiu listlessly shook her head, "It was just a dream, nothing serious. Are you finished with your business?"
