A Love Misplaced Across Three Lifetimes

*A butchered version, shortened as much as humanly possible. The whole story is basically the synopsis. Short version: He loved her, became obsessed across three lives, and brought a kingdom to ruin. With tears in her eyes and love so deep, she said: "Your Majesty, I pray that after this life, you and I will never meet again, in any lifetime." Regular version: The year he met her, willow branches drooped and peach blossoms drifted through the air. He saw her come through the branches and leaves and give him a gentle smile. From that moment on, she captured his heart and soul. He fell in love with her, and then he won her heart. His once-prosperous kingdom fell into decline, but he had no regrets. Even if no one knew the lychees had come from afar, they were still only for her. In his second life, he was once again reincarnated as an emperor. That woman, among the clear lotuses, suddenly broke into a smile of breathtaking beauty. He fell in love with her. A painted kingdom could not compare to her flowerlike smile. In his third life, reincarnation came again. As fate's path moved forward, he met her once more. But she stepped back. Your Majesty, may we never meet again in this life. Theme:
