[Pili BG Fanfiction] Last Night's Stars Promised You [Shan Long Yinxiu X Lingxi Zhixia]

[Theme Poem]

Last night, the stars; last night, the breeze,

A lonely boat west of the river, east of the wild ferry.

No mountain dragon crosses the vast sea,

Yet our hearts respond, and hear this song.

[Artistic Introduction]

She is the revered mistress of the Pearl Pavilion, the apple of the Daoist sect's eye in the Suffering Realm: spirited, charming, and radiant.

He is an unknown hermit, a hidden dragon in the depths aboard a lone boat: at ease amid storm and change, abandoning fame with a wave of his hand.

Their meeting was chance, yet it stirred her heart. Who could have guessed that though she loved him, he felt nothing, and her affection would only bring sorrow...

Their acquaintance was casual, yet it stirred ripples in his heart. The sun shines in the east while rain falls in the west; he seems heartless, yet his heart is true...

Who could have known that hidden behind their origins was a secret, one that would carve a chasm between them, making them enemies rather than friends?

Who could have guessed that even if they met again, they might not recognize each other, yet their longing after parting would remain as potent as wine?

Though the dragon from beyond the borders made empty boasts, old grudges and debts lingered across a thousand mountains;

In the end, amid the teeming mortal world and the pain of loving too deeply, unspoken feelings quietly took root;

All he wishes is to stake everything he has, and surrender himself to endless tenderness.

[Character Poems]

Lingxi Zhixia: The green apricot is small, and the willow catkins on the branches grow fewer still. All is quiet; the lovelorn are always tormented by those who feel nothing. Moonlight streams down, and the pearl shines bright.

Shanlong Yinxiu: Ziwei has no surname, yet leaves affection in the mortal world. At night, he watches the flowers glow. Know that this feeling is entrusted to the vast sea; suddenly, he realizes his heart has begun to stir.

Yuan Wuxiang: At fourteen or fifteen, she came smiling to meet him. She caught the flowers' fragrance as she wandered beneath them. From the moment they met, he had already taken an interest in her, all the more so now.
