A Promise for a Lifetime

One room bathed in spring light, two lifetimes apart

Dreaming back to last night, its beauty has faded

In a single day, like a dream

One scene, like autumn

You are still you

I am no longer me

Promise

What will you promise me?

A lifetime of cold indifference?

Regrets from two lifetimes?

Or love beginning and fate ending across three lives...

How did you betray me in our past life, that you should love me so much in this one? If you love me, how can you bear to leave me? So be it if my life is cold and lonely, but you once warmed me so truly. You gave me a lifetime of regret, and I return to you the words of love from our past life. I would rather go back to that past life. At least we loved each other then, simply and purely, with nothing mixed in... nothing...

Her Zhou Zheng, her Zhou Zheng. But whose was she? Zhou Yunuo often wondered: if you had not left, if I had not gone back, what would life be like now? She did not know, so she gazed toward the horizon and smiled, saying she had no regrets. Whether the days ahead were spent alone or with you by her side, she had loved and been loved, and that was enough. Even if the world fell away and the ages passed, even if she were alone...

Yet she never expected that in this life, in the world she had come to for Zhou Zheng, there would be a man like him. He would give her everything, just to see her smile from the heart. He would scheme to win the realm for her, all for the sake of a single word from her...

That red robe, those tear-streaked eyes. They made possible her gentle leap from atop the high wall.

How can I promise you the next life? In the next life, I will belong to him too, so let me disappear from this moment on...
