[Two Male Leads × Amnesiac Quick Transmigration × Love and Hate × The Pursuit of a Lover]
In the first life, he was a regent with power over the court. His adopted son was a blade he had tempered with his own blood and bone. In the end, that blade turned on him and pierced the softest place in his heart, its blood carrying the weight of a debt of love owed for years.
In the second life, the biologist's promise of tenderness for a price was a lie, and the merfolk's love was ultimately used for a scheme. He gave up his pearl and his life to secure the other's future, returning his soul to the sea and leaving behind bone-deep regret.
In the third life, he was the eldest son of a mafia boss, secretly protecting his father's illegitimate son. To keep his father and brother safe, he personally killed the person his younger brother cherished most. From then on, admiration crumbled to dust, and hatred took root in his bones.
In the fourth life, he was the number-three man in a drug den, while the other's younger brother was a police captain imprisoned as a plaything. Half a lifetime of disguise, half a lifetime of tribulation: love and hate entwined and took root, all in search of redemption.
In the fifth life, he was a wandering little ghost, infatuated with a Daoist who saved people and dispelled misfortune. A paper marriage certificate accidentally tied a red thread between them, but then he found the love letter hidden in the Daoist's sleeve, with someone else's name written on it. In the end, his soul scattered, snapping the absurd thread of their marriage.
“Love and hate wax and wane. The bond that still ties us together has grown so thin, it's all but invisible.”
