New Love, Old Flame

"Rekindled Romance" Female Lead, Non-Crossover Romance*

Thunder roared outside the window. The two people sunk into the sofa sat up, drenched in sweat.

Meng Yuezhi cupped Xiao Nian's face, as if seeking reassurance. "You can only love me in this life."

Xiao Nian kissed him. "Of course."

Unsatisfied with her perfunctory answer, Meng Yuezhi shook her awake. "You have to swear it."

Xiao Nian wrapped her arms around his neck and pointed to the sky. "I swear, if I ever fall for someone else, may five bolts of lightning strike me and leave me dead."

When they were in the throes of passion, they swore all kinds of reckless oaths. Now that they have broken up, Xiao Nian is afraid of being struck dead whenever she hears thunder.

Theme: Who could ever betray such devotion?
