Longing for You: Reborn, I Force-Kissed the Nine-Lived Xiang Liu

[Angsty romance + rebirth + mutual healing]

On her wedding night, Xiao Yao gazes at Tu Shan Jing beside her, her heart hollow and aching with unease.

Suddenly, devastating news rings out from the street: “The Nine-Lives Xiang Liu has fallen in battle. No remains were found!”

She’s struck as if by lightning. Her cup shatters, and her heart hurts as though it’s about to split apart!

She refuses to believe it, frantic with grief. How could the nine-headed demon in black robes and silver hair, who had protected her time and again, dissolve into black blood and vanish, leaving not even a trace behind?

But the General Ying Long’s confirmation, and the disappearance of Xiang Liu’s final memories from the Xingsheng Mirror, finally break her completely.

Xiao Yao weeps blood day and night. As she touches the big-bellied doll A Bi had given her, she accidentally cuts her fingertip, and a drop of blood falls onto it.

The doll suddenly breaks apart, revealing an ice crystal ball. Inside is the love he never voiced: “May you be able to protect yourself, have someone to lean on, and have somewhere to go. May you live a life of peace and happiness!”

The aloof male merman in the corner is Xiang Liu himself!

So he was never heartless. He simply hid everything when he loved too deeply.

Grief overwhelms Xiao Yao, and she spits out a mouthful of blood, which happens to stain the mysterious mermaid pearl Xiang Liu left beside the ice crystal ball!

A blinding light flashes, and time and space reverse.

When she opens her eyes again, she is back a hundred years earlier, at the moment A Nian pushed her into the depths of the sea!

Xiang Liu approaches over the waves, close enough to touch, still dressed in black with silver hair.

Without hesitation, Xiao Yao grabs his lapels and rises on tiptoe to kiss him fiercely. “Xiang Liu, I won’t let go this time!”

The thousand-year ice-cold nine-headed demon stares at her in astonishment, his ears turning red in an instant.

He thinks she must be under some kind of spell, never realizing that this is the one desire she has held onto through life and death!

Able to protect yourself, someone to lean on, somewhere to go?

Xiang Liu, in this life, I’ll help you fulfill every wish you have!

And my only wish is you!
