For Whom Does the World Weep?

She was the ruler of the demon realm, wielding supreme power and possessing beauty that could topple kingdoms. Then she met him. He was the supreme ruler of the demon realm, looking down upon all beneath heaven, with all creation no more than ants, until he fell in love with her. He was the lord of the celestial realm, once wielding power over all, yet in the end he could not escape the bonds of love. He was the supreme ruler of the human realm, with all living beings in his grasp, and thought nothing of overturning the world itself. But then he met her, and in the end, he could not escape her.

He said, "Even if one day the whole world falls, I will never let you down. My mother gave me the word 'promise' so that one day, when I met a woman, I would remember the promise I made to her."

She said, "I thought my life would go on like this forever. Then I met you. I thought that as long as you held my hand, I would never let go. Because I am the ruler of the demon realm."

He said, "None of what happened back then was intentional. If I hurt you, could I spend my whole life making it up to you?"

He said, "The entire human realm is in my hands. You alone are the unexpected turn in my life."
