If you asked Lin Wang how much he once loved Zhong Qing, the answer would be: in Lin Wang's eyes, all the light in the world once shone on that one person. He was dazzling.
They were together for seven years. Lin Wang gave Zhong Qing everything he had: his time, his feelings, his energy, his devotion... even though all he got in return was waiting alone at home, being slapped, getting caught in the rain, and getting hurt. He thought that one day his love would earn him even a little sincerity from Zhong Qing, even though Zhong Qing still had an unattainable white moonlight in his heart.
Until the fire.
Zhong Qing abandoned him for someone else. In the final moment before he blacked out, Lin Wang saw Zhong Qing carrying the other person out through the hazy flames.
At that moment, he even wanted to die in the fire.
For the rest of his life, he could never understand why Zhong Qing would sacrifice the life of the person he'd loved for seven years for some so-called white moonlight.
Later, Lin Wang left. He left that place of heartbreak, and he left Zhong Qing.
And then, later still, Zhong Qing knelt before Lin Wang.
His usually cold, handsome face was filled with pain and despair.
"Come back, please?"
"I'm begging you..."
