Extraits

To all appearances, Chu Wanning was aloof and haughty. But within, in truth, he'd been treated coldly by others for so long, been feared for so long, that as he walked this long and lonely road, his opinion of himself had slowly crumbled to dust.

Dozens of vines coiled around and pinned him tightly to the cross. Mo Ran turned to look toward Chu Wanning. His lips moved.

Chu Wanning’s eyes widened abruptly.

Mo Ran’s voice was quiet, but he heard it clearly, there was no mistake.

He said: “Shizun, I’m really not…...beyond remedy……”

So, please, don’t give up on me——

But he couldn’t finish the rest of the sentence.

Last life, he wanted to say it but didn’t; this life, it was also already too late.

"Did you know, the most wonderful dreams are rarely ever real ?"

“Two lifetimes, they belong to you.”

“No regrets.”

Every beam of white moonlight was like the snow on his sleeves, every rising sun like the warmth in his eyes. Later on, he’d seen Chu Wanning’s silhouette in the vermillion clouds by the horizon, in the cerulean light of dawn, in the surging, billowing clouds. He was everywhere.

Chu Wanning’s face was flushed red as he looked away. This time, he didn’t break away from him. Thus, Mo Ran held Chu Wanning’s hand, and it was only after some time that he realized the truth, and nervously confirmed it. Chu Wanning… Likes him, too.

He watched helplessly as Chu Wanning endured the pain and used a technique to prevent himself from fainting from the pain. He watched as Chu Wanning stabbed the knife into his chest inch by inch, blood flowing everywhere. Hot, running, hot. How could he not be a living person?

“For as long as you live?”

“For as long as I live.”

“…I might walk very fast, with no regard for you.”

“That’s alright, I’ll chase after you.”

“I might not want to walk anymore and just stand there.”

“I’ll stand with Shizun.”

“I want to go back, I want to start over. I can pay any price, I’m begging you…”

“I can give my heart up, as long as you don’t let me die under the title of Taxian-Jun.”

“I really… I really didn’t want to be that person anymore… I beg you…”

In my previous life, in this life, I have always loved you and was always willing to be with you. In the future, I’m also willing.
