Ye Ling, the heir to the top wealthy family in the imperial capital, was born with purple luck, which is beyond words, but his luck backfired and his bones burned day and night. Modern medicine concluded that he only had three months left to live.
In order to survive, he followed the legend and broke into the forbidden forest in the southern suburbs to find Ling Yin Yin, the barefoot and white-clad elf who could revive dead trees. With hundreds of billions of contracts, he condescendingly said: "Save me, and I will give you the entire forest."
Ling Yin Yin, awakened from the thousand-year-old sacred tree, has been guarding the forest for thousands of years. She is used to human greed and never responds. She raised her eyes to look at him and said lightly: "Have you ever set a price for the leaves?"
Ye Ling thought she wanted to ask for more, and kept raising prices, threatening, and even using force, but Ling Yinyin raised her hand and let the vines wrap around all the guns. She reached out and held his wrist, "hearing" the burning in his bones and blood, and also heard the child in his heart who was locked in a secret room and had never been loved.
His arrogance was shattered for the first time, and her heartbeat was also out of rhythm. "What exactly do you want?" He asked softly. Ling Yin's amber eyes fogged up: "Your heartbeat... Is very noisy, so noisy that I can't ignore it."
But the sacred tree has withered - if you save him, she will disappear and the forest will wither; if you don't save him, he will die and the fire in his body will burn down the entire forest. In dilemma, she smiled and said, "But I don't want you to die."
The green light slowly penetrated into his heart. When he woke up, Ling Yinyin was sitting barefoot in the fallen leaves, her figure already transparent. "How long can you live?" He asked urgently, but she did not answer. The morning light fell on her hair, which was covered with fallen leaves.
He knelt down and whispered, "Then I'll wait here for spring."
It turns out that letting go of arrogance means admitting "I need you."
