He is immortal and undying, waiting a lifetime for her, yet terrified she'll die once again.
This time, will they break free of their fate or repeat the past?
The story's central theme is fate and resistance: the heroine dies a tragic death in every life after falling in love with the hero. At its heart is her struggle against destiny and the attempt to break the shackles of a fate in which loving each other means death.
Curse and salvation: The heroine sacrifices her essence to make the hero immortal. She grants him eternal life, but leaves him alone in his solitude, repeatedly suffering the loss of the one he loves. Immortality becomes an endless torment. Love is both the ultimate sacrifice and a thousand-year curse.
Vessels and self-awakening: The hero and heroine were created by others as “bodies/vessels,” yet they awaken independent souls and emotions, resisting a fate in which they are defined and exploited, and proving that souls and love are not bound by identity.
