   Losing his beloved from both past and present lives, he turned white-haired overnight. "In this life, I clearly met her first, we clearly fell in love first, how could I have lost her?" Bai Jingxuan hated himself, pounding his head in frustration. Thinking of the loving moments they shared in both lives, the longing and pain of those two lifetimes intertwined, converging into a river. He was heartbroken, his heart aching so much he could hardly breathe. Unable to suppress the overwhelming grief, he wept uncontrollably, his sobs echoing through the courtyard. The once dignified and refined young master Bai, unable to bear the blow of losing his beloved, turned white-haired overnight.

After leaving the mansion, he headed directly towards the Prince of An'nan's residence, An'nan silently following not far away.

   So what exactly is love? Is it childhood sweethearts, love at first sight, or love that grows over time? Yet, even with all of these factors combined, nothing can withstand the numbness that comes with being immersed in the realities of life. It's not that they stopped loving; it's that love truly has vanished. After all, they haven't done anything to betray them. Finally, I hope that each of us can hold onto our initial feelings throughout our lives, and never let that innocent soul shed tears again.
