Now you stand before me again with a completely new identity, but you're actually my imperial brother's consort... Do you still remember how, beneath the peach blossoms, we swore never to part ways in this life? Do you still remember how, as the rain poured down, you held an umbrella over me and told me you'd never let me kneel in the rain and beg anyone again? Pu'er, come back...
I had already died back then. Why did you save me? Why give me decades more of anguish? Do you love me, or hate me? All I ever wanted in this life was to seek a peaceful place, like the noble friendship between kindred spirits. I only wanted to put a door on my heart and seal its windows, so the sunlight couldn't reach inside...
You said you didn't want me to become emperor. You wanted us to retreat into the mountains together… I'm sorry! I... I didn't manage it. But now, I'll spend a thousand times, a hundred times more time on you. I'll do everything I can to make up for all you lost! If you still want to retreat into the mountains with me, a man with more than enough wealth, I'll leave everything behind.
Every word from Prince Zhan pierces my heart. I can't forget a single thing! But this life no longer belongs to me...
