In his previous life, Gareth Valcourt, the orphan of the Tranquil Palace, became obsessed and possessive. He imprisoned his savior, Isabel Greenfield, by his side. In return, he earned only her deep hatred. In the end, he drank the poisoned wine she personally handed him, paying with his life as atonement. Before his death, he said, "If there is a next life, let me be the one to love you first." Then, he was granted another chance at his life, carrying a sea of blood feud and bone-deep regret. In this life, Gareth avoided all harm. He kept his distance yet watched over her, treating Isabel with gentleness. From their reunion at the frozen lake to six years spent together, he slowly melted the barriers between them with sincerity. The imprisonment and resentment of the past life were rewritten by the devotion and redemption of this one. A love that crossed life and death, and corrected a destined fate, gradually came to a quiet close.
