They were cousins with no blood relation, raised side by side. They secretly loved each other, and at last came to understand each other's feelings. Then war broke out, separating them across the world, never to meet again.
One was willing to walk into certain death for him. The other waited out the rest of his life for him.
There are too many people brought together by fate but kept apart by circumstance, too many who pass each other by. Even a beginning as sweet as honey can end in boundless bitterness.
Xue Cong: "I have no great love for the world, only a few shameful little loves. If we must die, then let's all die together. Everything I do is for one person alone. I came here for him, and even my willingness to die with everyone is for him. As long as he isn't caught up in it, I, Xue Cong, will have no regrets, even if I die nine times."

So did Song know that Xue Huai died and died in that village?
