She is the exalted, aloof Moon Goddess of Guanghan, the unattainable white moonlight in the hearts of all beings across the Three Realms.
He is a half-human, half-god, drifting in the cracks between the Three Realms, rejected and hunted wherever he goes, his bloodline an embarrassment, his existence unwelcome under heaven and earth.
They were always worlds apart, as different as clouds and mud, separated by the gulf between the immortal and mortal realms.
They say she is proud and aloof, distant from the other immortals, unmoved by every tender feeling and always keeping others at arm’s length.
And yet, beneath the Three-Headed Flood Dragon’s claws, above the clouds of the Ninth Heaven, and in the weak waters of the Celestial River, she risks her life again and again to save him from danger.
The bright moon was her former self; one backward glance lasted only an instant, while the chill endured for thousands of springs.
He has no heart for beautiful nights anymore. After meeting her, he can see no one else, in his eyes or in his heart.
“If I could win Chang’e’s true affection, I would gladly die for it!”
The characterizations of the heroine and hero in this story mainly follow Lotus Lantern. The worldbuilding also differs from that of the prequel. Xiao Chan will not appear, so please read with that in mind.
