Ink-dark clouds brush past cassia, sparse tung trees. Do not heed what people say of their fated match.
A thousand turns, a hundred forms, each different, each the same. Words shared, hearts at ease, yet no passion stirs.
At the end of the ink-black sea, a parting gift. A hundred summers pass; the Li clan's eyes drift away.
The lofty path is distant and indistinct; words caught in the throat, cheeks flushing, yet still impossible to speak.
When another world descended, Li Anran, once a wealthy young lady, was plotted against by a treacherous relative and forced to flee for her life. By chance, during an instance, she met the person who would decide the course of her life.
“Hello, what's your name?” Li Anran asked, looking at the white-haired girl beside her, whose hair matched her own.
“Shouldn't you give your name before asking someone else for theirs, classmate Li Anran?” The girl wrote a line of delicate characters on the paper before her.
“Oh, right. My name is Li... Wait, how do you know my name?”

Li Anran looked at the girl before her, her crimson eyes full of confusion.
“Because... we were lovers in our last life...”
Ling Baiqing smiled sweetly, her deep blue eyes reflecting only the girl before her.
