Synopsis
"My A Du is gone. From this day on, I'll call you A Du." The icy prince hid his grief as he gazed at the girl.
After enduring for eight years, A Du finally set out on the road home. The Wu clan had slaughtered her entire family, and she would have her revenge, even if it cost her life.
"Someone who crawled out of a pile of corpses and grew up with the edge of a blade on their tongue has seen too much bloodshed, love, and hate. Their body is weighed down by countless sins that can never be atoned for. Even if flowers bloom all around them, they are merely flowers reflected in a mirror, or the moon reflected in water: impossible to reach, and impossible to touch."
"If that's what you want, then I'll give you a life surrounded by flowers."
With scars in her heart and guilt in her body and soul, how could she dare to love? To do so would be to fall into eternal ruin.
She approached that young man with an ulterior motive, making her moves one step at a time. "In her heart, hatred still takes up more space, so much that there's no room for me."
That's how love is: loving someone you cannot have, over and over again.
"Du'er, I regret it. I regret making you fall in love with me."
"Forget me. Forget your A Xu. From now on, as the years pass, just forget."
In this mortal world, Wei Xu ultimately won the girl's heart, only for them to be separated forever.
"Do you know what the word 'forget' consumes? The human heart. If I forget you, I'll have no heart left."
"There will never be anyone else in this world who will listen to me speak."
Theme: Persevere and stay true to your original aspirations.
