A love between an immortal and a mortal:
I was once an immortal banished from heaven. For love of the mortal world, I forgot the path by which I came.
The mortal world stretches endlessly, its bonds like three thousand feet of silk, twisting and turning through countless trials…
The love I found here surpasses countless years in the immortal realm.
I ask you, who in this world could ever compare to you?
In a fit of rage for the woman I love, I would leave thirty thousand corpses in my wake.
I would make the whole world my enemy if it meant you would stay by my side for one lifetime.
Where the lanterns fade, I turn around without warning. Your smile blooms like a flower, and all heaven and earth lose their color.
I would trade eternal life for a single smile when you turn back… You live east of Qiantang, while I am north of Lin'an. I searched with the wrong compass and arrived a hundred years too late.”
It wasn’t fate playing a cruel trick. It was… a drunken mistake with the wrong number.”
Ten lifetimes of watching over her, a thousand years of careful planning, and in the end, the outcome hinged on a cup of “Thousand-Year Drunk” from the underworld and a careless dial by a scatterbrained little ghost.
How absurd.
And yet… how true.
