“Gu Lin'an, are you seriously mistaking Ling Xuan's actions for concern? She only approached you to get revenge on the enemy who wiped out her family, the one you've been hiding. And you thought she came to you because she liked you? Let me spell it out: Has Ling Xuan ever said she likes you? Has she?”
“She doesn't like you at all!”
Gu Lin'an refused to believe it. As a last test, he asked Ling Xuan whether she loved him. The answer was no.
But he didn't know that Ling Xuan hadn't stopped loving him. She simply had no love left to give.
“Ling Xuan, why won't you love me? Why won't you stay here with me?”
“Even if you hate me, you can only stay by my side...”
Gu Lin'an let one thought turn him into a demon. He imprisoned Ling Xuan and drained away every last bit of hope she had.
“I'm sorry, Ling Xuan. I was wrong. Please, wake up. If you do, I promise I won't force you again.” The night upheaval from their previous life happened all over again, and tragedy repeated itself. Gu Lin'an knelt on the floor, holding Ling Xuan's corpse and sobbing uncontrollably.
But this time, Ling Xuan managed to stop the catastrophic upheaval all by herself.
Just when Ling Xuan thought it was all over, she opened her eyes and saw someone lying beside her. Gu Lin'an was holding her tightly.
Ling Xuan: ???
Seriously? How does he keep showing up everywhere? Is he haunting me? Does he even leave the dead alone?
