He was an immortal, and she was a demon. They once thought they could hold hands and stay together, but an old saying that immortals and demons could never be together left one dead and the other lost in grief.
He gathered her soul with a Soul-Gathering Lantern, willing to never see her again if it meant keeping her safe. But after their unexpected reunion, he realized that letting her go had only ever been wishful thinking.
She waited for a hundred years, all for a promise no one came to keep. She walked the same road twice and made the same mistake. It wasn't that she didn't want to forget; she simply couldn't.
They traded the deep love and shallow fate of their past life for a reunion on a different path in this one.
...Mm... One couple in the story is a BL pairing. If that's not your thing, please don't read!
