    The new book has low ratings at the start, but it's good. The male lead is as humble as a puppy as a cold blade cutting through the wind. Pei Jingxing didn't dodge. His back was ramrod straight, but when he saw that the person was Xiao Yun, his eyes suddenly reddened. His usually cold and hard features crumbled instantly, leaving only an undisguised dishevelment and infatuation. "A-Yun..." His voice trembled, with a barely perceptible sob. He raised his hand to touch her face, but when he met her cold eyes, his fingertips timidly withdrew. The blade was already against his throat, the cool metallic touch making him shiver slightly, but his gaze towards her was astonishingly hot, as if he wanted to etch her image into his bones. "Slow down... Please, just a little slower." His breath was unsteady, his Adam's apple bobbing as it brushed against the blade, drawing blood but he didn't even notice. "I haven't looked at you like this in so long. Let me look at you just one more time, just one more time..." Regret and longing surged in his eyes, his former pride gone, replaced by an almost humble plea: "You've lost so much weight. Have you not been eating properly all these years? Your eyes are still so bright, but why don't you smile anymore? Before, when you smiled, you'd have a little dimple at the corner of your eye..." He rambled on, as if afraid that if he stopped, he would never have the chance to say it again. "Ah Yun, I know I was wrong, terribly wrong. If you want to kill me, I'll accept it. Maybe... Can't I look at you a little longer, to remember your face?" He tilted his head slightly, offering his neck to the blade, yet still gazing at her intently, his voice as soft as a sigh: "Just consider it... A memento for this sinful life."
