How Much Sorrow for Her?

She was a quiet, calm girl, yet stubborn and unyielding. Fate dealt her a cruel hand, and the hardships she endured in her youth left her heart frozen. He melted the ice within her with his warmth. Just when she thought love and happiness had finally found her, a conspiracy disguised as an "accident" struck without warning, crushing her unguarded heart to pieces. Her fierce reaction, her resolve, her betrayal: they left him covered in wounds, and he walked away carrying his hatred. She said, "I, Bai Yiyi, owe you a debt, and I'll repay it. I'll bear my fate! And what you owe me, Bai Yiyi, I'll reclaim, even if it takes my whole life!" It was the warmest and cruelest curse that haunted his midnight dreams. He didn't want her to forget him, even if all she felt was hatred. When they met again, he was a dashing young gentleman who moved effortlessly among women. Just hearing the name "Ji Zixuan" made people think of his refined, cultured manner, his handsome looks, his prominent standing in business, and his distinguished family background. Any one of those qualities was enough to make women scream. When he saw her again, his resentment, love, and hatred all became a curse of bitter longing. As she struggled against her fate, he became a demon fallen into the mortal world, following her like a shadow, humiliating and tormenting her, dragging her step by step toward an abyss of pain... Was it love that made them lose their minds, or hatred that drove them mad? When all their grudges and grievances lay before them, what would they choose? A tangled love and hate born of a strange encounter. They met by chance, then looked back in a sudden moment, forgetting passion, forgetting love, forgetting themselves. They made a bargain with fate: when fate begins, it also ends; when destiny is born, it is already empty. Was their meeting fate, or calamity? How much sorrow does longing bring in dreams? How much sorrowful love is for the one I cherish?
