The Many Ways to End in a Bad Ending

On the Stone of Three Lives, love begins and ends.

The Paper Kite

Mutual love / tragic ending

[The Tenth Prince, raised outside the palace ✘ The commandery princess, raised in the palace]

The Tenth Prince, who only wants to open a toy shop in the imperial capital ✘ The daughter of the General Who Guards the South, raised in the palace from childhood

“You said you were a paper kite, unable to fly too high or leave this lonely city.”

“I said I'd take you away from this lonely city...”

“But Yaoyao, this time I have to break my promise again.”

Old Friends in the Mountains and Rivers

Forced relationship / tragic ending

[Prince of an enemy kingdom ✘ Princess sent to marry for peace]

The world fell into chaos, and the Yu Kingdom rose to power, becoming the foremost among the nations overnight. The Chu Kingdom had fallen from its former glory and stood on the brink of annihilation. To save Chu, Mo Jinnan had no choice but to send Song Yunli to Yu in a marriage alliance.

A'Li had no wish to marry for peace, but as a commandery princess, she had to bear the responsibility placed upon her. All she wanted was to protect the people around her.

Yet one by one, the people around her died because of her.

Murong Jing lowered his lashes and leaned close. His dark, deep eyes held a possessiveness so sick it seemed beyond cure as he gazed at her tear-filled eyes.

He held her captive in his arms, leaving her no chance to escape. “Sister, you don't know that from beginning to end, you were the only one I never wanted to let go.”

“Whether you want it or not, after tonight, you will be my lawful princess consort.”

“Sister, we'll share a bed in life and a grave in death.”

“Relentlessly, without rest, we'll be tangled together forever.”
