Such Deep Love, Yet No Moon in Sight

Some people say that everything seen in dreams is an illusion, but Ye Chenxing disagrees.

Because only he knows that it really happened. It was from a past life he shared with her.

The bustling metropolis muddles people's minds. Amid the endless crowds, two people are always searching for each other.

It was nothing more than an ordinary glance back, but when Bai Youning met that gaze, her heart stirred.

The day the kingdom fell, rebel forces stormed the city, and every blade was pointed at her, the last surviving member of the former imperial family.

As red lotus flames swept through the capital, all the life went out of her eyes.

Amid thousands of cavalrymen, a man in white robes and dark armor ignored the loud protests behind him and walked toward her, step by step.

The man called Ye Chenxing shielded her with his body. "My princess, no one will lay a hand on you!"

After their eyes met, Ye Chenxing's advancing steps came to an abrupt halt beneath her indifferent gaze.

She asked, "Have we met before?"

He smiled for a long time, tears welling in his eyes. He had found what he had lost, yet was forced to reply in a distant tone: "It's a pleasure to meet you for the first time."

Little Scene:

Bai Youning finished up her last bit of work and contentedly leaned against Ye Chenxing, playing with his fingers. "If... I mean, what if I forgot you and never recognized you for the rest of my life? What would you do?"

Without a moment's hesitation, Ye Chenxing replied, "Then we'd get to know each other all over again and fall in love all over again. I would protect you forever, just as I did before."

"Then... what if I never appeared in this life? Wouldn't you be lonely until you died?"

Ye Chenxing smiled. "That wouldn't be so bad. After I died alone, I'd wait for you at the Bridge of Helplessness. If you never came, I'd wait for you in the third life, until I saw you again."

Bai Youning looked up. His gaze was tender, concealing a love she knew nothing about.

#From the moment I saw you, I loved you. You alone, for all eternity#

#No matter how many lives pass, I only want to meet you#

#I have never cared what the world thinks. If we can be together, what does it matter if I give everything up#
