When he first met her, she had innocently transmigrated into a war-torn China through the Lingxiao Clan's soul-summoning art.
Her mind was still muddled. Like an infant, she knew nothing, and she depended on and trusted him.
"Go on. I'll come back for you soon."
She hid in a haystack, smiled at him from afar, then pulled a clump of hay over herself.
Hunted by pursuers, he had no choice but to leave her in the haystack. A year passed before they met again.
When they finally crossed paths once more, the scroll of fate suddenly unfurled between them. She possessed the talent to govern and uplift the people, and a heart that embraced the world.
He cherished her beyond measure, and she would protect him with her life.
Yet fate spared her none of the suffering it had in store.
When fate reclaimed her life, her brief, dazzling radiance flashed through this fleeting mortal world like an ephemeral flower. She dazzled the people and the ages, then vanished without a trace, leaving behind a brilliant and enduring legacy.
Through their parting in life and death, he endured decades of heart-wrenching grief:
He said, "Wherever you are, I will come find you."
He also said, "This time, it may take a little longer. Don't lose hope. You must wait for me."
You must wait for me. Don't break your promise.
