The Beginning of Sugar

Recommended new story of mine:

At first, love is sweet and mellow, its rich flavor wrapping you in happiness.

But who could have known that everything around us would change, leaving nothing as it was?

Then, in a sudden moment, savoring it slowly, sweetness turns to sorrow.

Alone and helpless, I met him at the orphanage, and became the soft spot in his heart. A playful fall into the water left behind a regret that would last a lifetime. He lay asleep, never waking, and his parents took him away. I thought of him constantly and searched for him with unwavering determination.

By chance, I was adopted, but looking back, I had fallen into darkness. At a young age, I became a ruthless assassin, weathering bloody storms with bloodstained hands.

When I saw him again, he had escaped his misery. He was the adopted daughter of a world-famous magician, could drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, was a brilliant cook, and excelled at singing, dancing, and magic. She was elegant and cheerful, untouched by worldly grime. But for him, I was willing to fall again, to lose my wings and become a demon.

But love and hate brought only turmoil, and happiness remained out of reach. So be it: let us sleep forever.

When I awoke after transmigrating, he was gone, but life still had to end with a smile.

One life, two fates. The marks of time erased her happiness; the mistakes of time restored what was beautiful in her.

Time and space intertwined. She swallowed all the words she wanted to say and lived according to his, or their, hopes. She promised herself that after the pain, she would become simple and heartless.

Reborn into a divided personality, at times foolish and at times fiercely sharp.

Alone in another world, she found love. At the threshold between life and death, they came to her like shadows.

Through every hardship, they loved her deeply, and without realizing it, she fell...

Without regret or resentment, let this life bind her to them in a bond spanning countless lifetimes.

Character introductions:

<Galan> -- Last of the Blue Butterfly Clan

Vast and profound, with bloodthirsty blue eyes.

The sole surviving descendant of the Blue Butterfly Clan, he bears the burden of countless killings without even knowing it. Adopted by the Demon Palace as a child, he has no control over his own life and becomes a pawn in the hands of Song Ci, the young palace master.

On the day we first met, his face was disfigured, and he was violent and despairing. An accident in a raging downpour opened the heart of this reclusive boy. We came to understand and cherish each other, and the warmth of our embrace that night left me inexplicably dependent on him.

<Qiluo> -- The Northern Kingdom's foremost cold-blooded assassin

Gentle as water, considerate in every way.

Born under an ill-starred sign, frail and powerless, he nevertheless became the strongest of men for the one he loved, strong enough to face every sorrow alone, all for the sake of setting love free.

So, my dear Luo, just as I deceived you back then, I will have you by my side for the rest of our lives, bound to me forever.

<Lan Feng> -- Lord of the Maple Leaf Manor

Domineering and fragile, a tempestuous force.

Family is not family, love is not love. The solace he has always longed for remains beyond his reach. The Lan family could give him a name and a status, but not love.

His love is suffocating. I fear it, yet I long for it, because everything about him is so pure. Even his love is so piercing, eternal in a single instant.

<Lin Mengran> -- Lin Ji of Hidden Color City, its ruler

Passionate as fire, leaving only ashes.

The curse of the Lin Ji and the dislocation of his rebirth brought him years of humiliation. Family affection had once been the one innocent thing he could rely on, but even the delirium of a passionate dance could not overcome fate's cruel tricks.

Perhaps it was fate. I keep asking myself: if he hadn't looked so much like the distant figure in my heart, would I have taken that whip for him?

<Yue Wuhuan> -- Lord of the Demon Palace

Cold as ice, flawless as jade.

Separated from his family, he searched across the world. When they finally met again, they were enemies. He wanted to make amends, but could not find redemption. Brotherly loyalty and the love between siblings vanished in an instant.

I became his wife by accident, and I don't regret it. He is a good man, even if he doesn't know how to smile.

<Ye Fengliu> -- Young lord of Ye Family Fort

Free-spirited and amorous, dazzlingly brilliant.

You were born tenderhearted, yet your heart was never true. You drifted through places of pleasure, seeking only a little abandon.

We are both people without hearts. It was only a mistake of time that made me lose him from my life. I can't hide from him, and he can't escape me.

<Lan Diu> -- A descendant of the Lan family

Love that feels like a dream, yet seems real.

A descendant of the Lan family, born with the power to protect and sacrifice, he is fated to suffer. Born years too late, his hair turns white too soon. Is it for family or for love? He is lost, yet the feelings in his heart have slowly become real.

Unable to stay together, he chose to let me go. A kiss on my forehead erased all my memories, and his tears fell into my heart. If we meet again, even if we don't recognize each other, I will still turn to look at him and make a promise for our next life.
