A fanfiction of Candle in the Tomb: The Wrath of Xiangxi, starring Chen Yulou.
“I know you don’t like hearing me say this, but I can’t help thinking about it. You’re my wife, and you’re carrying my child. If I die, you’ll be the young mistress of the Xiling clan, and our child will be its young master. With Steward Yang, One-Eyed Dragon, and all these brothers here, no one will bully you or let you go hungry or cold.”
He reached out and gently wiped the tears from her face. “But if you come with me, and we... if neither of us makes it back, what will happen to the child? They haven’t even had a chance to see the world, and they’ll have to die with us. I can’t. I can’t let my child lose even the chance to be born.”
Chen Xue’s tears streamed down her face, but she couldn’t speak.
Chen Yulou drew her into his arms, his voice choked with emotion. “My dear, wait for me. Wait for me to come back. When I do, the three of us will live a good life together.”
