The Moth and the Dreamcatcher [ABO]

Ye Xingping rose from being a criminal on a barren planet to the youngest major general in history. His hard-won victories made him the Empire's blade, its top soldier, and the dream of every young person in the galaxy.

Among the countless young people across the galaxy who looked up to him, Mishanka Belkin was one utterly insignificant fan.

Even though every page of his diary, from the first to the last, was densely covered with Ye Xingping's name.

Even though he bought every piece of merchandise related to Ye Xingping, checked in on his fan page every day, and fought online with fans of other generals until all hell broke loose.

Even though he collected every bit of footage of Ye Xingping, watched each clip nearly a thousand times, and could recite every frame from memory.

Even though he covered his bedroom walls with Ye Xingping posters, replaced them with new ones every change of season, and said, "Good night, Major General," to that stern face every night before bed.

Even though his unshakable, passionate crush was common knowledge.

...He was still utterly insignificant.

But that was only natural. Who doesn't dream when they're young?

Later, he graduated first in his class from the Imperial Military Academy and turned down every respectable, safe assignment that could have sent him straight to the top. Instead, he submitted a single application to the expeditionary force known as the "Soldier's Graveyard."

The dream that had followed him throughout his adolescence suddenly came into view and swelled beyond measure...

He was no longer content simply to look up to Ye Xingping.

Every night, after wishing Ye Xingping's photograph good night, he would add, "When will you look at me?"

He gave everything he had to watch and chase that distant, unreachable light. He thought he was the one chasing the light.

If he failed to catch up, at least he would have no regrets. If he succeeded, then heaven had smiled on him. He never thought to look back.

Until that stormy night, when lightning split the sky.

Beneath the pale flash, that always-stern, forever-unapproachable face slowly broke into a smile, revealing a round dimple on the left cheek.

It wasn't a smile that brought any warmth. In that moment, Ye Xingping looked like a drowned corpse rising from beneath the water.

"You think you're the one chasing me?"

"No. I'm the one who's been waiting for you."

"Every step you've taken, I've laid the road for you."

"I've been waiting for you all along. Waiting for you to grow up, waiting for you to catch up, waiting for you to..."

He leaned close to his ear, his voice as soft as a sigh.

"...walk into my web."
