If it weren't for Tang Rou, Yan Ruyu, and Tang Xin, each taking people home for the New Year.
If Liu Yiru hadn't impulsively taken the girls to the Shuiyue Palace for fun, leaving hardly any women by her son's side.
If Ye Fei wasn't so infatuated with his mother that he couldn't bear to be without her for three days, feeling restless without indulging in her "icy and fiery" charms.
If Liu Yiru hadn't been so considerate of her son, not wanting him to have even a hint of regret, she and thus reminded him to bring his second aunt back.
If Miao Chan hadn't happened to be with Tang Xin and the others...
If any of these "what ifs" had come true, the tragedy of Wen Suqin and Gu Xuehan, mother and daughter, would have been truly inevitable, and Ye Fei would have been doomed to a lifetime of sorrow.
But since these are just "what-ifs," the reality is that Ye Fei just happened to arrive here. All of this could be said to be the work of fate.
