I thought I was strong enough to stand on my own, but when I saw him again, tears fell before I could stop them.
"Xin'er, will you come back with me? Ruling this prosperous empire alone is terribly dull."
"A Luo, how could I not want to? But I owe you far too much."
"Silly girl, what do you owe me? I'm the one who owes you so much."
After ten years of loving him from afar and two years spent together day and night, they thought that after all their trials, they would stay together forever and grow old side by side. But on the second day after their wedding, she vanished without a trace, leaving behind only a letter. As he read it, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Could she really leave him over such a flimsy excuse?
He searched for her across thousands of miles, but forgot the place where it all began. When they met again, she had a son and a daughter by her side. Tears in her eyes, she smiled just as she had before, unchanged.
"We thought we'd never see our father again."
"You took my two children away and left me for all these years. How are you going to make it up to me?"
"I'll love you for the rest of my life and stay by your side until we grow old. We will never part in this lifetime. How does that sound?"
"Good."
In this life, all I need is to be with one person, from beginning to end.
