A Thought Turns the Garments

Bai Su was always a man tangled in contradictions. He gave his gentlest, most childlike side to Li Shang, his most doting side to Bai Yaoqing, yet reserved his greatest hatred for Qing Lianshang. Little did he know that Qing Lianshang was Li Shang, the woman carved alongside him into the Dream Stone in this life. Their bond could not be undone. He had not loved the wrong person; it was simply that fate had failed to explain things clearly to him. Mo Li looked at Bai Su. The person you love has always been Qing Lianshang. What right do you have to hate her? And where does that hatred even come from? Mo Li told her to give up, but Qing Lianshang refused. "The person I've always been looking for is Bai Su, and I'm the one he's always been searching for, too." "But he has never loved the person who bears the identity of Qing Lianshang. Do you understand?" She had always known. She had just never wanted to understand. Bai Yaoqing had hoped Li Shang would return; she wanted her brother to be happy. She had also once hoped her brother and Ming Xi would end up together. In the end, though, the one who came was Qing Lianshang, bearing Li Shang's name. They were one and the same person, yet Bai Yaoqing could accept anyone except Qing Lianshang!
