Relentlessly Ensnared

In her previous life, Gu Muke ended Zhong Zhilu's life with a cup of poisoned wine.

As the poison took effect, she held the girl in her arms and gently brushed away her tears. "A Gu, I don't blame you."

Time turned, and lifetimes passed. In this life, Gu Muke had no memories of her previous one.

Until one day, she began having the same unspeakable dream night after night. In it, she wore ancient clothes and passionately tangled with a girl in a dark, damp cave.

Again and again, as if they would never tire.

When she woke, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment. The dream was so absurd. She had always been dignified and reserved. Year after year, her friends had secretly called her "Sister Nun." How could she have done something like that?

Later, in broad daylight, she slipped off her high heels and boldly brushed her soft white leg against the girl's beneath the dining table. She glanced out the window at the cloudless sky and, without batting an eye, said, "Luoluo, the weather forecast says it'll rain tonight. I'm scared of rain. Will you come keep me company in my room?"

For Zhong Zhilu, the three characters "Gu Muke" were an obsession spanning two lifetimes. In her previous life, she'd willingly died at Gu Muke's hands without a trace of resentment.

In this life, she'd thought that person was still beyond her reach, someone she could never dare hope for. She never imagined that Gu Muke would come to her with all her heart, give her a lifetime's worth of tenderness, and finally give herself to her completely.
