May the Dark Night Endure Forever

Open and covert power struggles + awakening consciousness + no self-sacrificing saint + strong female lead + the mundane world of the wealthy + battles over inheritance

Love is like fine grains of sand. The harder you try to hold on to it, the more it slips through your fingers and scatters on the wind.

From our first meeting to becoming confidants and then falling in love, it was all a play you had staged. When we met again, you used the exact same tricks. The strong learn from experience, while the foolish repeat their mistakes. But I’m willing to play the part of a brilliant actor alongside you. After all, I rather enjoy it.

This is a world where the strong prey on the weak. If you don’t get stronger, you’ll be mercilessly ground into the dirt. But I hope you’re the one who gets ground down.

When money and self-interest are at stake, feelings come second. You taught me that when I was left battered and broken. Have you forgotten?

When you hit rock bottom, you remember your former glory. Looking at how wretched things are now, you can’t help but feel bitter. Every time you compare the two, the frustration in your heart takes ages to settle. That’s what drives you to become stronger.

For these three years, I climbed with everything I had. I didn’t dare rest or stop. But fate was kind to me: it gave me a chance to rise again.

Now that I’ve returned, you and I are worlds apart. Whenever you look at me, your eyes betray your unease and jealousy. But what good will that do you?

Girl, standing still is falling behind. Waiting until disaster strikes to run is already too late. If you don’t run, you’re reserving yourself a place on the list of people to be avenged. So go ahead and sign yourself up…

This time, I’ll make sure you sink into the darkness for good…
