They say I am Shengxi, the last bloodline of the angels.
They say I once made an eternal “Starshine Covenant” with someone beneath the stars.
But I don’t remember.
I only remember burning wings and endless sighs in my dreams.
I remember Gu Ye, my silent protector, and the unfathomable pain and tenderness in his eyes.
I remember Su Yan, the transfer student with a warm radiance, calling out again and again to a past I had forgotten.
Only when darkness returned and my memories awakened
did I understand that the promise made beneath the starlight had never been broken.
He had simply used the most unyielding flames to burn away his own soul and turn the course of the stars back toward me.
Now the galaxy remains, and the covenant endures.
Only the boy who made that vow has become every starry sky I gaze up at, and my eternal longing.
