[Welcome to add this to your preorder list]
Word has it that after five hundred years of silence, Rootless City has awakened once more.
When Lingyue hears the news, her hand pauses as she pours tea. Her friend beside her teases, "Guess who the new city lord is?"
Lingyue says, "I'm not guessing."
Her friend smiles. "You don't have to. He's right behind you."
Lingyue doesn't panic. Bo Ye Chongshan shouldn't remember her anymore.
After all, the memory-erasing Shattered Snow Spell was no pleasant experience.
Back then, he was desperate and stubborn. His eyes were red, but he refused to beg. She had no choice but to cast the spell again and again, until he was on the brink of death and not a trace of his memories of her remained in his sea of consciousness. Only then did she turn away and return to the Ninth Heaven.
Sure enough, the young man at the banquet is peerlessly handsome, as elegant as ever. His cool gaze passes over her, seeing only a stranger.
Lingyue tells her friend, "Why panic? Are you worried my methods won't work?"
That night, Lingyue returns to her immortal abode, only to find a familiar stranger standing at her door.
Bo Ye Chongshan says, "Master, you're a little late coming home."
Lingyue says, "Who are you? Leave now, or I'll report you to the Heavenly Court."
Bo Ye Chongshan chuckles. "Why panic? Doesn't Master have plenty of methods?"
There is, it seems, something in this world that even ninety-nine Shattered Snow Spells cannot erase.
In the first year, Bo Ye Chongshan thinks that sooner or later, he'll kill her.
In the second year, Bo Ye Chongshan decides that if she apologizes, he won't blame her.
In the third year, Bo Ye Chongshan realizes that if he could see her once more, he would gladly die all over again.
