In this life, I have knelt only twice.
Once, when I watched her turn into a sky full of icy blue light in my arms. Once, when I opened the door and found her still alive.
Reborn at sixteen, Lin Fan wants to do only three things: repay her, with interest, for everything he owed her in his previous life; bury, one by one, everyone who hurt her; and ask the girl who used to hide behind a tree and watch him practice swordsmanship if, this time, he can be the one to protect her.
But when he knocks on her door, he discovers a jade pendant beneath her pillow that should not exist in this era. And the little character "Fan," stained red with blood, that she secretly stitched into her protective talisman is no spell.
"Senior Brother Lin, will you come again tomorrow?"
"...I'll come every day."
He turns and walks into the moonlight, a chipped iron sword at his waist. In his heart, he tallies up everything he owed her, everything he did to betray her, and everyone who hurt her in his previous life.
