I Would Let Down the World, But Never You

Hundreds of years ago, Heaven and Earth underwent a great cycle of rebirth. On every continent, nothing could grow, and there was no distinction between day and night. Yet the Peaceful Continent was different. It was like another world, where everything flourished in clear light and darkness, untouched by the calamity. But it had been cursed: unless the curse was lifted within 300 years, it would vanish from this world. As the ruler of a dynasty, Feng Xiao bore the fate of all living beings. To break the curse, she was willing to take the life of the one she loved, for the only way to lift it was with the heart of someone from another world. Feng Xiao watched as her dagger sank into Lin Yiheng's chest. Seeing the tenderness and approval in his eyes, her heart ached until she could hardly breathe. She carried Lin Yiheng to the edge of the cliff and leaped into the abyss. "Ah Heng, I, Feng Xiao, would rather betray all living beings than betray you."
