The cries on the bridge over the Nai River rose and fell, but my heart was as still as water. I felt out of place there.
"Miss, isn't there anyone or anything you can't bear to leave behind?"
I froze for a moment, and my thoughts drifted to Xie Changzhou.
At first, I always thought we had plenty of time. I even gave him my chance to become a god, yet after a hundred years, I still couldn't melt his glass heart.
As I lay dying, I wrote Xie Changzhou thirteen letters, begging him to bring me Snow Cold Rose to save my life. But things still didn't go as I had hoped.

Something new happened in the cultivation world today.
A newly ascended god had arrived from the Upper Realm, the first high god ever to ascend with the spiritual roots of a mortal.
Strangely, this high god's glass heart had grown flesh and blood.
In front of everyone's eyes, he gouged out his own right eye, then leaped from the Immortal Execution Platform to undergo tribulation and search for his wife.
Xie Changzhou loved all living beings, and he loved one person, too. He had even decided to give up his chance to become a god and spend his life with her, but in the end, she didn't live long enough to see it.
His heart was made of glass. He was destined to feel no love or affection in his life, and he would never shed a tear.
But on the day she died, he wept bitterly, tears falling in great drops.

By then, I had already been reincarnated.
My spiritual roots were terrible, but at least my parents loved me, and I had a gentle, refined fiance.
One day, I seemed to notice that my fiance's right eye had suddenly grown cloudy.
Had he... suddenly gone blind?
Rain fell without end on Tianshan, and the lanterns cast wavering shadows.
His large hand gripped my chin as he pressed close to me, kissing me almost violently.
"You are not allowed to marry anyone else."
The metallic sweetness of blood slowly spread through my mouth. I instinctively pushed him away and glared at him in anger.
But he only curled his lips into a smile and said, "Do you know what terrible thing I'm going to do next?"
