Silver Puppet

She once destroyed herself.

But she doesn't remember.

She simply refuses to be a puppet doll with flesh and blood, treated as if she has no heart.

After forgetting, she can settle down and dream in peace.

She asks him: In my dream, don't let that person appear.

He promises her: In your dream, many people will dote on you. That person won't be there.

But she has forgotten that no matter how powerful he is, he cannot control people's hearts.

That person has always loved her, so he will find his own way back to her.

For the sake of a single word, "hate," he forgot how to love.

But when he finally remembered, the one he loved jumped from the rooftop of the Cloudfall Palace's five-hundred-and-first floor right before his eyes, without the slightest hesitation.

He thinks Heaven has been kind to him.

After three years apart, he finally found her again.

Someone broke the puppet spell placed on her, erased her memories, and fabricated a new set of memories.

But he is still certain that she belongs to him.

Someone once said, "She is your puppet doll. With that thread connecting you, even if you are at opposite ends of the primordial world, you are still together."

He said, "Qingqing, you lost. You belong to me."

He said, "I don't have much love to give. I gave it all to the mother of Shixue."

I said, "I don't have much love to give either. I only have enough for myself, so I can't give it to anyone else. We'd better keep our distance."

He said, "Do you know that after being jealous for so long, you were actually jealous of yourself?"

He said, "I don't much like the phrase 'the years slip by.' But I suddenly realized that it's different when you're by my side."

I said, "Why not 'time flies,' 'the clouds turn into dogs,' or 'the years rush by like a shuttle'?"

He said, "..."
