In her previous life, she died in his arms.
On a stormy night, atop the twelfth floor, she wore a bloodstained white dress. Gathering the last of her strength, she said to him:
“Fu Shen, if there’s another life, I don’t want to meet you again.”
Kneeling in the rain, he held her body as it slowly grew cold and let out a howl that sounded nothing like a human voice.
After that night, he went mad.
Five years later, he died heartbroken, clutching the urn containing her ashes.
His last words were, “Shen Tang, wait for me. In our next life, I’ll find you no matter what.”
