[Dodo's Adventures Fanfiction] A Glimpse of Beauty

Since ancient times, love has left only regrets behind; the sweetest dreams are always the first to fade. Wei Zi'an, *Traces of Flowers and the Moon* - Su Da has lived for so many years that she cannot even remember her date of birth, and she does not care much about it anyway. What she does worry about is how to forge an identity. When she comes to Arthur, the two long-lived oddities hit it off and become partners. At heart, she and Arthur are kindred spirits, drawn together to keep each other warm. Over her long life, she has met and parted from countless people. She remembers most of them only vaguely, even when she has crossed paths with the same person in countless past and future lives. This is the inevitable flaw of immortality: it is hard to care about things that have nothing to do with you. Her life is far too long. Thousands of years pass in an endless cycle of days and nights, as people come and go like a rushing river. She is a reef, enduring and unchanged through the ages. Of course, there are precious memories: a sudden flutter of the heart, a fleeting glimpse, a love that lasts a lifetime... Su Da carefully treasures them all, writing them down and collecting them in a thick volume. Weighing it in her hands, she suddenly understands just how long she has lived. This book holds every little joy in her life. But one day, someone tells Su Da that he gave her every single memory she cherishes. He says they were destined to be together.

Original blurb: The ancient fox clan of Luzhou bears the surname Su and shares a subtle bloodline connection with Tamamo-no-Mae of Japan. Immortal, eternally youthful and beautiful, with boundless magic, these fox spirits defy the laws of nature and exist between darkness and light. The legends are all true: foxes rescuing scholars, beautiful fox women encountered in ruined temples, foxes arranging their daughters' marriages in sunshowers, dressed in white wedding robes. - I'm Diane Su, though I also go by Su Da. I chose that name to honor my ancestor Su Daji, who was so good at throwing the imperial court into chaos. Even though her surname was actually Ji. I have a date with the night... No, wait, I have a date with everything. Live long enough and you see it all. There shouldn't be a thing in this world I haven't seen. Yeah, I know I'm pretty amazing. Even if I'm not amazing, I must be worldly and well-connected. I'm Dai, gorgeous and street-smart. Though I actually prefer it when people call me Diane. I get the feeling I've done every terrible thing under the sun, from murder to robbery. I've played the flute by moonlight and ridden in fine clothes on horseback. I've lived through the Renaissance and the Industrial Revolution. I roll onward atop history's wheels, lost in a dream and unaware of where I'm headed. Only when I look back do I see the long path behind me, the track fate laid out for me. So far, the strangest thing that's happened to me is getting tangled up with the past and present lives of the same person. I'm in his dreams in every lifetime.
