Loving You as My Life, in This Life and the Last

"You came after all." Jiang Yixuan drew her dagger and walked toward him, step by step.

She continued to speak cruelly. "You came here to die today."

"I know." Gu Huaizhi only smiled. He made no attempt to hide the deep love in his eyes.

He reached out to caress her face one last time.

She knelt beside him, heartbroken by the familiar warmth of his skin.

The man's hand covered her eyes, and someone took the knife from her hand.

She heard him say, "Xuanxuan, don't look."

Silent tears slipped from the corners of her eyes.

Gu Huaizhi made the decision for her, plunging the knife stained with poisonous blood into his own chest.

She hated him. She hated that he had saved her from danger again and again, and that he was leaving her to face the long, lonely years ahead alone.

"Live well." He used the last of his strength to offer her his final words.

In her previous life, Gu Huaizhi knew Jiang Yixuan had deliberately approached him, yet willingly let himself be deceived, giving her everything and sacrificing his life for her. In this life, Mu Han meets Lin Hai with memories of her past life and pursues him fiercely, swearing she will never let go of his hand this time. In my previous life, you loved me more than life itself. In this one, it's my turn to protect you.
