Also known as The Fall of the Seven Temples: Don't Laugh, One of the Fall of the Seven Temples series.
"One man rises in rebellion, and the seven temples fall"... "The course of the world: divided for long, it must unite; united for long, it must divide." The rise and fall of history has never been something people can decide. Today, I'm going to tell you such a story.
Amid the swirling sand, there was an emperor, and there was a certain lord and his subject...
Ji Ye clutched the ice blade lodged in his chest and smiled bleakly. "I remember when I was young, splendidly dressed and riding at full gallop, conquering the world." I... regret it.
"..." Wei Qisen's icy gaze developed a few cracks.
Watching his expression, Ji Ye thought: Good. I have never been this happy in my whole life. Perhaps I was happy once, when I was young. That boy in black, humming a tune that was barely in tune, drove away the darkness for him. But how I regret not knowing hardship when I was young.
Hot tears slid down the corners of his eyes, no longer young.
Bones shatter as they dance with the sand, figures vanish onto separate roads. After seeing countless bleached bones, I still cherish... those starry eyes.
Theme: Brotherhood and love between men.
