The Scar of Regret

[Tragic romance + the unrequited love’s death + secret love] [I have three wishes: First, may the person I love be free, happy, and joyful. Second, may everything they wish for come true, and every dream become reality. Third, may the person I love be healthy and live a long life. And may... she forget me., Wanli] When she saw the name at the end, she closed her eyes tightly. In her memory, that person stood atop the iron tower, leaning against the railing. The slanting sunlight shrouded his cool, dignified figure in shadow. His fringe fluttered in the breeze, brushing across his eyes and making his feelings impossible to read. He asked, “Wynter, who do you want in the future you dream of?” She blinked her beautiful eyes as a tear slid from the corner of one. Her hands gripped the red prayer ribbon tightly, pain and sorrow filling her gaze. She murmured, “You...” A future with you. He asked, “If one day you can leave, what would you like to be called?” Looking at the endless sea and sky, she showed a rare trace of longing on her otherwise expressionless face and replied, “My name is Changkong, and yours is Wanli.” He said, “Changkong Wanli, gazing down at the land below. That’s not bad. But standing alone between heaven and earth, with the breeze scattering orchids and snow, suits you better.”
