"Could you gather the medicinal herbs on this list for me?"
"Is there a problem?"
"...All right."

The same scene plays out three times, as if that beautiful first meeting had happened all over again. Sadly, in the end, it all vanishes without a trace...
Why must I drift away? Why must I have so few loved ones to share in life's joys? Why must we be apart for so long? Why can I find no peace? I point to the clouds and question Heaven; the strings of the zither ring, stained with blood.
He is Ouyang Shaogong, Crown Prince Changqin, who incurred Heaven's wrath. A half-immortal, destined in every life to have few kin and little love, until he met him.
Everyone says it's good to be clearheaded, but I alone delight in being intoxicated. Tears for a beauty bring trouble, and my own heart makes me restless! See through the mortal world and grow old, then find laughter and joy; only in forgetting one's worries is there peace!
He is Tao Zui, a bamboo spirit. Hollow within, the green bamboo keeps the pure and casts out the impure, driving away evil and gathering spiritual energy. He asks, "Bamboo has no heart, so why do I have feelings?"
But once you've fallen in love, you've fallen in love. Even if that person deceives and uses you, there was still the beauty of love at first sight, the sweetness of staying together in the bamboo forest, and the kindness of saving and supporting one another. So be it. "From now on, neither of us owes the other anything."
If only life could be as it was at our first meeting. Wouldn't that be wonderful?
Text accompanying a video! Qiao pairing, crack ship! No real-person shipping! Both sweet and angsty! Heart-wrenching! Proceed with caution!
You can also read it as an original story, rather than fanfiction~
This is my first long work in which a loving mother takes on the role of an evil stepmother. Someone Snow is so used to being a loving mom that even when I write a bad ending, I can turn it around for a happy ending. But this one really doesn't have one. It's pure tragedy. Please support me~
