The Journey of Flower: Sequel 2

The divine curse came true. Bai Zihua, the Immortal of Changliu, could neither live nor die, enduring the ultimate punishment for killing the one he loved as he sank into eternal madness. At last, Mo Yan paid the price of his soul being scattered to activate a forbidden technique and restore a thread of the life that had passed away. Reborn, Hua Qiangu’s soul was as frail as a candle flickering in the wind. She had forgotten everything that came before, and her mind was as innocent as a newborn child’s. Bai Zihua took her far from the world and settled with her in a bamboo cottage secluded from society. He turned the beams of the Hall of Unfeeling into a boat, spent a thousand years of cultivation nourishing her, and guarded her day and night. She often fell into a deep sleep, and in the dead of night, broken nightmares would disturb her when no one else knew. She learned to write his name, yet sadness would inexplicably stain the tip of her brush. Holding the repaired palace bell, she innocently asked why it seemed to be crying. Before a blank, spotless page, Bai Zihua poured out everything he had, carefully painting a new life for her. Riding swords through the wind, drifting down a stream in a bamboo boat, the sweetness of peach petals preserved in sugar, the ink strokes he guided her hand to write… He did everything he could to fill her empty world with peace and warmth. Yet the crack in the palace bell could not be erased, and the painful memories behind his name seemed to whisper deep within her soul. Could this life together, won through sacrifice and madness, truly heal the wounds of the past and welcome a peaceful dawn? This is a story about atonement, protection, and a second chance. After forgetting, beneath the curse, which has been carved more deeply into the soul: love or hurt?
