In Country A, a powerful man doted on his daughter. Even amid the chaos of war, Jiang Yuexi remained innocent and carefree.
After meeting Shen Ye, the course of her life began to change. They met, grew close, and fell deeply in love without a trace of doubt. Until her father was branded a traitor, with irrefutable evidence against him, and thrown into prison. She fell from the clouds into the mud, and a secret letter revealed the whole truth. Former lovers turned against each other; their once-beautiful relationship was shattered beyond repair. She sought help everywhere, only to meet with rejection at every turn. In the end, she had no choice but to turn to him. The smile on her face was sorrowful, yet still stunning. “Young Master Shen, could you spare my father?”
One garment after another fell away. He was moved, yet merciless. “I’m sorry, Yueyue. I can’t.”
“Have you forgotten why I got close to you?”
A piercing cry, a broken bracelet, a wretched silhouette, and hope swallowed up.
She gave up trying to save herself and forced her legs to carry her toward the abyss. For three days, she endured endless torment, both body and soul. Her graceful figure drove the other man wild, and he became cruel. In the end, it was Shen Ye who rescued her, broken like a discarded rag.
She disappeared. After searching for three days, he found her shattered and devoid of any will to live. All she wanted was for her father to survive.
She was gone. He searched the entire city and beyond the borders, only to learn that her father had been shot dead in prison.
Later, as war raged everywhere, she said, “Xi and Ye, water and fire, are fated to be incompatible…”
