Crossing Through This Mortal Life

[Saving each other | Rekindled love | Age gap]

The story begins when a girl, controlled like a puppet, regains her awareness and starts on the path to saving herself.

At the same time, another person begins to fall into the abyss.

The day Fu Sheng was taken away from the Pei family, heavy snow fell over Shengdu.

The man, drained by illness, collapsed on the ground. His fingertips sank into the thick snow as flakes drifted gently onto his head, shoulders, and back... before mercilessly soaking him through.

With desolation in his eyes, he gazed into the snowy night in the direction his beloved had gone.

“A Sheng, ”

“Take me with you.”

“Anywhere is fine. Just take me with you.”

For Pei Ting'an, being parted from Fu Sheng was like having the flesh and blood rooted in his heart for over a decade, engraved with her name, torn away from him.

Every day afterward, Pei Ting'an dreamed a dream called waiting, trapping himself in memories of her and refusing to wake.

At times lucid, at times mad, he willingly sank into despair.

The winter of the sixth year.

Shengdu was even colder than in previous years, so cold that Pei Ting'an could barely survive the winter.

He could calmly accept that he might leave this world one day in the depths of winter.

His only fear was that he might never make it back to her.

He prayed to the heavens countless times, and at last received an answer.

The warm winter sun shone on him once more.

“Brother, we'll never be apart again.”
