A Love-Sick Ode: Fragrance of the Udumbara

She is the goddess of the Udumbara, as light as a cloud and as pure as snow.

The Snow Tansy Fairy thought she had loved Xingyuan for six thousand years, only to realize it had all been a one-sided joke. She forgot that tens of thousands of years ago, she had already been the one he cherished above all others.

In this life, she says that loving someone means sacrifice and letting them go. It means wanting him to smile, with stars shining brightly in his eyes.

Even if it means descending into a hell of slaughter, she has no regrets.

She is the Demon Realm's queen, proud and fearless, with love and hate clearly defined.

The Demon Queen Wuyan thought Xingyuan loved her to the point of obsession, never knowing that fate had given her nothing but a beautiful dream misplaced in time.

In this life, she says that loving someone means being selfish and staying together forever. It means looking after his comfort and caring whether he is warm or cold.

She will not let another woman have him, because she alone can keep him safe in this world.

And he... who is he? An immortal lord? A demon lord? Or...?

Xingyuan has never been able to see into his own heart, not realizing that it isn't a matter of failing to see clearly: he has never truly been himself.

Through fate's countless cycles of reincarnation, no one can escape the destiny Heaven has bestowed.

In this life, he says that since the dawn of time, he was born the lord of all creation, blessed by Heaven and Earth and free to live as he pleased for all eternity.

Yet, in the end, cause and effect come full circle. He must return this body to all living beings, and among the Three Realms and Six Paths, there is one person he has failed.

Obsession: he knows it is an illness, yet does not treat himself. He lets it wound his skin, tear at his heart, and eat away at his bones and blood. Though the pain cuts to the heart, he still refuses to let go. He would rather lose his life, lose his soul, and end his cycle of rebirth, yet still hold on with all his might. The world is full of such lovesick fools. I write this poem for them, for all those with hearts consumed by love.

"A Reader's Guide"

It may look like a story about two women and one man, but it's actually a faithful, one-on-one love story.

Heartbreak and sweetness intertwine, with both sorrow and joy. The male and female leads are both sincere with each other, but they can never escape fate's cruel tricks.

It should have a happy ending. The heroine may seem fragile, but she is strong inside. The hero may seem carefree and frivolous, but he sees through everything and doesn't shirk his responsibilities.

This is a story by a silly girl about another silly girl. I hope more silly girls will enjoy it. Thank you so much.
