A Sigh for Fate

In a fleeting glimpse, a beauty unfurls her feathered sleeves, graceful and light. The jade mountain shimmers in the distance, beneath the starry river of the azure sky. He spends a lifetime longing for just one glance from her. He takes up his iron steed and sweeps his long halberd across the land. An emperor claims his borders, cuts through romance, and builds an empire, yet the vast realm cannot hide what lies in his heart: he only hopes to live up to the trust placed in him. Love: no one knows where it begins, yet it runs deep. Devotion: no one knows where it belongs, yet it lasts until death. ---Long's wish: peace throughout the realm, safety for the common people, and a gentle smile from the emperor as he paints his beloved's brows.---Lingbo's wish: only to stay by his side, together every day.
