Gu Xiang saved Xiao Jinhui, and she also schemed against him.
From the very beginning, she never intended to let him go.
So she deceived him from beginning to end.
But she would never have imagined that the blade that took another's life would take her own as well.
Xiao Jinhui was a gentleman as beautiful as jade, one who longed to hold the moon in his arms.
He saw through Gu Xiang's schemes, yet still let himself fall in love with her.
That was why he said he was a coward.
(This story is set in an imaginary world. It is a short piece, not a melodramatic story, and it won't pile on angst for angst's sake.)
Theme: The struggle between giving up the greater good and protecting one's own little family
