If our meeting was only a fleeting glance in the dark of night, with no entanglement from past or present lives, and no bond stretching across lifetimes…
In his previous life, Xuan Qing fell silent in Ming Tu’s arms, leaving behind a lifetime of loneliness. At the banks of the River of Reincarnation, the judge holding a brush asked him, “You performed great deeds in this life. One more lifetime of cultivation, and you could attain the Great Dao. Why don’t you wish to be reborn? Why are you content to linger by the River of Forgetfulness?”
“I’m waiting for someone.”
“Who are you waiting for?”
“Someone I cannot bear to let down.”
“Ah, another lovesick fool.”
Dressed in white as bright as snow, his slender figure stood by the River of Forgetfulness, watching souls come and go year after year, all for the sake of waiting for one person to enter reincarnation with him and share their next life.
At last, he saw the person he had been waiting for. He turned back with a faint smile, noble and radiant. “Ming Tu, you’ve finally come…”
“Xuan Qing!” Ming Tu’s eyes widened, as if he feared they weren’t big enough to take in this person. He rushed over like a madman and pulled Xuan Qing into a painful embrace.
“Haha! Heaven really isn’t blind after all. I finally caught you again. Let’s see you run away this time!” As he spoke, his arms tightened even more. “Xuan Qing, I missed you.”
“You fool. I never planned to run.”
On the eve of reincarnation, Ming Tu and Xuan Qing caused quite a stir in the underworld. The price they paid was steep, but at least they had their names carved together on the Three Lives Stone. That was a reward beyond measure.
A hundred years later, strangers in the human world.
Their memories of the past forgotten, they met anew.
In this life, the bustle of the human world sent them down separate paths. The only things that remained unchanged were their temperaments from their previous lives and a bond that neither gods nor ghosts could sever. They both became disciples of the Shangqing Sect.
What, what kind of third son is that Mingtu, and Xuan Qing is a young man, how did the two men fall in love? I really don't understand, ugh! Maybe I have different ideas and different perspectives.
It's very good. It took me a lot of time to read it. The first part may be a bit boring because of the foreshadowing, but the second part is very exciting. I like the characters very much, but the world is really light on life and death. Haha, I was a little confused at the ending, but they finally got together. It was not easy. Wow.
It's pretty good, very pretty!
