What Is Love?

Li Muying was born into a distinguished family, yet she had a wild and unruly streak in her blood. From climbing walls and rooftops to punishing thugs and catching petty thieves, she did it all. Everyone in Yannan City said there was no one who could win her heart. Until she met someone. He was a carefree, dashing young man who roamed the martial world, righting wrongs with a sword in one hand and a jug of wine in the other. He came into this world, spent a little over twenty years in it, and was gone in the blink of an eye. With nowhere to put all the love in her heart for him, Li Muying defied the rules of the underworld just to wait for a soul that would never return. When they were reunited at last, they poured out all the longing they had kept inside. Gradually, Li Muying found herself drawing closer and closer to the truth. When everything she had believed to be etched into her very bones was overturned, should she keep looking the other way, or fight back with all her might? // Behind him stretched a vast sea of stars. The enormous bright moon bathed him in a sacred glow. Untouched by earthly dust, he seemed so ethereal that he might vanish without a trace if she let go. Yet he took her hand and spoke softly, smiling with warmth. “The starry river, the bright moon, the celestial palaces and gardens: whatever you love, I’ll give it all to you.”
