Jiulimu

His voice was a stray ray of light in the night, galloping past from the boundless reaches of time. "Even so, are you willing?" My mind floated weightlessly, as if I no longer existed. White mist drifted and swirled, and that indistinct shadow was my undying soul... I fell asleep again, but this time I was no longer a forsaken, wandering spirit in the Great Wilderness. The hands of the four seasons brushed my brow. Warmth and fullness slowly filled my broken body, and I could almost feel myself being reborn, one afternoon when you gently awoke. In her previous life, she and he could only gaze at each other across a river. Their brief encounter was followed by an endless, surging entanglement... In this life, with the primordial world and the whirlpool of mortal life between them, can she and he hold fast to their love once more and grow old together? The Jiuli Tree can glimpse the past of others, seeing how their destinies begin and end, yet it can never fathom its own mysteries. A thousand years of waiting, all for this lifetime's meeting with you; tasting every kind of love and sorrow in the world, all so I can remember the moment you loved me. In the instant the flower bloomed, your face shone like snow. In the end, I never asked the question I wanted to. Heaven and earth transform, oceans become fields, but one thing has been passed down through the Great Wilderness since time immemorial: the word "love," unchanged forever!
