When Will I Return, My Love?

Because of a childhood joke, he took root in her heart.

From then on, she took the blame for his mistakes and shouldered his burdens.

She spent a fortune on him, but could not make the prodigal mend his ways.

She gave him her sincere love, only to have it cruelly trampled.

So she gave up on him, wishing only to spend her days beside the Buddha's lamp.

Because of a childhood joke, she became a burden he could neither shake off nor avoid.

From then on, she became the scapegoat for his carefree life.

She loved him sincerely, but he took it for granted.

When she withdrew from the world, he lost his composure and panicked.

He was willing to defy even the Buddha, all so he could spend his life by her side.

She said, "My body is here, but my heart is dead. All these years, you were like the bamboo outside, flourishing in my heart. You tore it out by the roots with your own hands. Bamboo can be replanted, but a broken heart can never be mended."

He said, "Once you entered the Xiang family, you became one of us for this lifetime. If you want bamboo, I'll give you a whole forest. If your heart is broken, I'll give you mine. From now on, we will share one heart. But if you want to leave the mortal world, then unless I die, I will kill any god or Buddha who stands in our way."
