Su Mingyue, a gentle, frail, and reserved academy tutor, versus Shen Heng, a bright and carefree young heir to a marquis’s household.
Orphaned young, frail and sickly, and faced with a family calamity, Su Mingyue thought this was simply her fate.
They parted in their hometown as children, then met again years later in a foreign land.
He was just as he had been back then, and took her hand once more.
“Elder Sister knows right from wrong and draws clear lines between things. She would never be that sort of person. Even if she were, Ah Heng would be her blade.”
“Ah Heng’s sincerity toward Elder Sister is witnessed by heaven and earth.”
Su Mingyue thought this was one of the few sweet things fate had given her.
Until she noticed more and more things that made no sense.
A courtesy name from nowhere, illogical reasoning, old acquaintances suddenly appearing...
Someone told her that the fate she was meant to have was to lose her memory the year she reunited with the one she loved, and to become a corpse that had long since grown cold.
“So all the happiness I’ve experienced since then was something I was never supposed to have.”
Su Mingyue smiled bitterly. Of all the stories left behind by that reckless old acquaintance, the only one about heartbreak and sorrow was hers.
But with mountains and rivers between them, she could only sigh at how fragile her fate was. She would never live to see the young man return.
