It turns out that all the promises of eternal love, all the vows to endure until the seas run dry and the rocks crumble, belong to someone else, never to them.
Bai Eryu is a demon, one destined to lose the person she loves forever. She and Zi Xiao were simply a love that missed its chance. Zi Xiao gave her the last of his heart, having already given her everything he had.
Si Wangxi knows the origins of their bond. Afraid they would miss each other again in their next lives, he offers half his lifespan in exchange for not drinking Granny Meng's soup.
Bai Zijing says, "I've already begged the King of Hell to sever the thread of fate that binds us. I don't want you to have even the slightest chance of falling in love with me again."
We were fated to meet in three lifetimes, but never meant to be together. We need not force it any longer.
In this life, I have already drunk Granny Meng's soup. Heaven and earth bear witness, as do the sun and moon. The three thousand worlds of mortal life pass like the wind, and in the next life, I will not know who she is.
The only normal person in the whole article is Zi Xiao 🙂
