"Mother..."
Baili Fengzhi still remembered the feeling of seeing her mother in a dream for the first time.
She had longed for her mother for decades, a mother she hadn't been able to meet for most of her life, who had appeared just when she was missing her the most recently.
She had been unclear about her own feelings, not understanding what exactly she felt for her mother.
The resentment from being abandoned when she was young? The longing for this only kin?
She couldn't tell, and had thought that after meeting His Highness, it wouldn't matter even if she could never meet her mother.
But on that day, in that dream that was as vivid as reality, when her mother hugged her and apologized in her ear, she found herself more excited than she had imagined, and she valued her mother more than she had expected.
Is this a dream... or reality?
