His flat voice often resonated in her ears. A lifetime—from heaven to hell, across all realms, in life and death, staying together! Not something to be said lightly.
That vow ultimately became like a dandelion in a wild field, scattered by the gentlest wind, leaving no trace.
After over two thousand days and nights of separation, now seeing him again, she couldn’t bring herself to hate him.
Zeng San Bao had once told her that Jiang Xiang Yang no longer wanted her.
Having been hurt, she thought she had become indifferent, yet hearing his words made her heart ache with a clarity as excruciating as being cut to pieces.
