The Will of Heaven Is a Romantic Affair

Li Zhi has had the same dream for as long as he can remember. In it, a fairy-like young man plays a flute for him beneath the moon, his gaze tender. One day, Li Zhi catches sight of Xie Heng, the eldest young master of the Xie family, from behind. He is struck by the sight, convinced that the divine young man from his dreams has come to life. Thus begins his fierce, one-sided pursuit of the man he loves. Just as it seems the two are about to understand each other and finally get together, the real “moonlight in his heart” appears. Only then does Li Zhi realize, to his shock, that he’s been flirting with the wrong person. He! Flirted! With! The wrong person! Li Zhi looks mortified. “I mistook you for someone else.” Xie Heng: “Mm.” Li Zhi: “I’m sorry.” Xie Heng: “It’s fine.” Li Zhi: “So, should we… end things?” Xie Heng looks at him. “Mm.” Xie Heng watches in silence as Li Zhi goes off to flirt with the moonlight in his heart. They all have to die. He nods. They all have to die. A refined gentleman in the beginning, an attack who later gives up on being human x A receiver who knows there’s no such thing as a peaceful life, and that he’s always the one left holding the bag.
