When she was six years old, she picked up a seriously injured boy in the snow, tore up his clothes to bandage him, cut his wrists and fed him blood, and carried him three miles on her back, saving his life.
When he woke up, the first thing he saw was another girl.
In thirteen years, she never explained.
Later, he married her - not for repayment, but because her blood could be used as medicine and her flesh could prolong life. He locked her in a secret room, cutting her flesh and draining her blood day after day to save the Bai Yueguang in his heart.
Finally, he said: "Ruyan needs your heart."
She lay on the altar, the moment the knife tip pierced her chest, she finally spoke out her merciless request in this life——
"Qixia Town, Jiangnan, under the old locust tree at the east end of the town, I beg the prince to send my ashes back."
He agreed.
He didn't know that the old locust tree was where she saved him.
He also didn't know that after his heart was cut out, he would spend the rest of his three thousand miles walking the same path she had walked, one step at a time.
But at that time, she was already a skeleton without a heart.
And the first thing he asked while kneeling in front of the grave was——
"What's your name?"
After three years of marriage, he never asked her name.
