Shen Luoyuan once had a disastrous romance. She and Tang Jin were childhood sweethearts, but Tang Jin had someone else in his heart, his own moonlight.
She waited for him, battered and bruised, in Shuiyun Dongtian, simply because he had told her before leaving, “Wait for me.”
But even when a blood moon appeared in the sky and the realm closed for good, he never showed up.
The lonely wait for death made her love wither away completely.
When she was on the verge of death, Duoqi Jun arrived in flowing green robes beneath the blood moon and saved her.
Duoqi Jun was a man of exalted status, one of the youngest Four Immortals of the era, an unparalleled genius who had appeared three hundred years ago. She, by contrast, was an obscure little cultivator.
His repeated approaches and the way her heart fluttered made her think he had feelings for her.
Later, she learned that Duoqi Jun also had a moonlight in his heart: Heng Ranting. For that woman, he ventured into the Demon Realm’s forbidden land of immortality to retrieve demon bamboo, battled the Demon Venerable for three months to obtain three drops of blood from his heart, and journeyed across the Silkworm Island, Huawu Mountain, and Hengshui Lake, all to gather divine treasures and rebuild her body.
They had known each other for only a few months. How could she compare with the three centuries he had devoted to that woman?
It turned out she had always been nothing more than a passerby in their lives.
She grew distant, and he was confused. She explained, and he understood.
Amid her bewilderment, Duoqi Jun took her hand and led her into the memories of the dream he had created, where she remembered how it all began.
She was her. She was Shen Luoyuan, and she was Heng Ranting.
It turned out she was the very moonlight in his heart.
