How fortunate Bai Yutang was to meet his cat again a thousand years later.
Just as he had once inscribed these words on the jade pendant he gave him: "My beloved, a gentleman as noble as an orchid." And on his own pendant, he had engraved: "By your side, through life and death, never to part."
But he was no longer the dashing Brocade Mouse of old. He had forgotten everything about the past and become an ordinary modern man. The other was a man from ancient times, reborn from an ancient tomb, still carrying memories of a bygone age.
A thousand years ago, I passed you by. A thousand years later, I want to hold tight to your hands and go with you into the afterlife...
He said, "Cat, shall we stay together forever?"
The other replied, "Yutang, I will never leave you alone again."
In 2012, an ancient tomb held a body that had not decayed in a thousand years. The sole mark left behind was the character "Zhao" on the edge of the crystal coffin. There were no jade ornaments or money buried beside him, but the tomb was protected by a deadly formation where one man could kill with every ten steps and travel a thousand miles without leaving a trace. The only thing at his side was an ancient, heavy sword, with the clerical-script characters Juque engraved upon it. A man from a thousand years ago awoke in this era, only to encounter once more, as if by fate, the proud and untamed lover he had lost.
Fate begins and ends, a thousand years in one lifetime.
