> Resumos de Love Beyond the Grave
Yan Zhang realized too late that she had fallen into a trap meticulously orchestrated by He Simu, Jiang Ai, and Yan Ke. Facing their combined strength, she and Bai Sanxing were easily defeated. As Yan Zhang attempted to flee, Yan Ke struck her down, causing her to dissolve into nothingness. He killed her intentionally to silence the only witness who could prove his own involvement in the rebellion.
Before vanishing, Yan Zhang left him with a chilling curse, prophesying that he would one day die at the hands of the person he loved most. When Yan Ke turned his blade toward the captured Bai Sanxing, Jiang Ai unexpectedly threw herself in front of the prisoner, taking a severe blow to protect him. This unauthorized execution attempt infuriated He Simu, who sternly reminded Yan Ke that he had no authority to dispose of a high-profile prisoner like Bai Sanxing.
She then took the prisoner and Jiang Ai away, ordering medical care for the heavily wounded Left Prime Minister. He Simu remained well aware that Yan Ke’s haste in killing Yan Zhang was a calculated move to cover his tracks. In the aftermath, Yan Ke approached He Simu to cast doubt on Jiang Ai’s loyalty, suggesting she might have been complicit in the uprising due to her past ties with Bai Sanxing.
He Simu remained unmoved, challenging him to bring her concrete evidence before she would take action. When she later visited the recovering Jiang Ai, the latter confessed that despite the years of trauma and being treated like a puppet by Bai Sanxing, she could not bear to watch him die. He Simu observed that Jiang Ai’s feelings for her former captor were far more complex than she was willing to admit.
As order was restored in the Void, He Simu informed Fengyi of her impending visit to Nandu, a prospect that delighted him as he looked forward to seeing his "Grand Ancestor" again. Before her departure, Yan Ke requested a private meeting. He spoke of his desire to transform the desolate Void into a place as vibrant as the Mortal World just for her.
He even presented her with a precious hairpin containing his "vital gate," offering his eternal love and submission. However, He Simu rejected his confession, maintaining that he was her most capable minister and nothing more. When he tried to insist, she sharply reminded him that he was overstepping the boundaries of their sovereign-subject relationship. Meanwhile, in Nandu, Duan Xu accompanied his sister to seek blessings at a temple.
While she went inside, Duan Xu visited his mother, who lived a secluded, religious life. He introduced Xue Chenying, the young boy he had taken under his wing on the battlefield, to her. His mother remained somewhat reserved and guilt-ridden for not being by his side during his difficult years. Duan Xu showed no resentment, stating that he understood his parents had their own pursuits and that even blood relatives could sometimes feel distant.
In his heart, he wished that He Simu were there to offer the comfort he lacked. He Simu eventually arrived in Nandu to meet with Fengyi. To welcome her, Fengyi had dressed with great care and requested to shake her hand, reminiscing about the familiar feeling of being held by her when he was a child. Their conversation was interrupted by his protective maid, Ziji, who insisted that Fengyi's frail health required him to rest immediately.
Watching Ziji lead him away, He Simu caught a glimpse of the deep affection the maid held for her master. The true purpose of He Simu’s visit was for Fengyi to forge a specific magical artifact using a "soul candle" retrieved from the Prison. After three hundred years of waiting, she felt it was finally time to settle an old score, a secret mission she kept entirely to herself.
While roaming the streets afterward, she marveled at the "smoke and fire" of mortal life—the overwhelming mix of scents and sensations unique to the human world. Nearby, Duan Xu was discussing marriage prospects with his sister, who teased him about the ladies their father had chosen. He remarked that he only liked a woman who "could not be found in this world."
Suddenly, he felt a hauntingly familiar presence and chased after a woman in the crowd who resembled He Simu, only to realize he was mistaken. As rain began to fall, the two of them narrowly missed each other in the downpour. Standing in the rain, He Simu closed her eyes, recalling the vivid sensations of the weather she had once shared through Duan Xu’s senses, finding a fleeting moment of beauty in the memory.
