The moment I looked at you, I understood that this world of mortal entanglements was my tribulation.
I can feel the secret love and longing I have for Deng Yi fading away with the passing days. I thought I had moved on from that love, but the moment I sensed his presence again, I understood: time would only drive this forbidden love deeper into my heart, not make it disappear. When he glanced back and smiled, the intense possessiveness surging up from within startled me. It turned out I wanted more from him than that.
