“He saves all living beings. I save only you.”
Jiang Jinyue has a secret: she was reborn. In her previous life, she was imprisoned to death by Shen Jin, a deranged CEO.
At Tingyun Society, I drag my rusted, aching body through a broken dance performed for the moonlight alone.
Everyone laughs that I’ve lost my touch.
Only Lu Huaishen, who came from the capital, climbs through my window night after night, watching me struggle with my own shadow.
He says, “Jiang Jinyue, what you’re dancing isn’t a dance. It’s the life inside you that still hasn’t burned out.”
Later, Shen Jin returns with memories of his past life and a city full of roses, once again blocking my way.
Lu Huaishen crushes the petals and flicks his lighter, setting the roomful of roses ablaze. The firelight illuminates his profile.
He presses the back of my neck and kisses me.
“Tell him…”
“Your Buddha is here.”
