Seven Lifetimes

This was written in the summer of 2005.

Back then, this line was popular in people's signatures: Every girl is an angel in heaven. When she falls in love with a boy, she comes down to earth. The boy must never let her down, because she gave up all of heaven for him.

I was deeply moved at the time, and the last line, “She gave up all of heaven for him,” suddenly inspired me to write this short story. Though the whole thing runs to several thousand words, what I most wanted to express was simply that last line: For the sake of loving him, she had given up all of paradise.

Is love honey, or deadly poison?

One fleeting moment of love at first sight, and seven lifetimes to repay it.

But if two hearts can rely on each other, what does it matter if they must endure the suffering of reincarnation?
