Zhu Yunsui had been in love with Wu Fengsheng for a long time. He was noble in status and strikingly handsome, an elusive bright moon. She, on the other hand, was ordinary and forgettable.
She had appeared before him many times. Each time, he looked at her with such a gentle gaze that her heart raced. He filled each of her feverish dreams at night, too.
At last, she worked up the courage to confess her feelings.
The beautiful young man, like a clear moon, stood before her and asked gently, just as he always did, "Have we met before?"
Those words broke her heart.
On the night he rejected her, Zhu Yunsui thought about it alone for a long time. Perhaps she only liked his face and noble status. Maybe she had to find a way to get him. Once she got tired of him, she wouldn't want him anymore.
To get him, Zhu Yunsui kept watch for months. At last, when he was injured, she knocked him unconscious and poisoned his eyes, the eyes that had said he had never met her.
She disguised herself as his savior and took him in.
But she expected something in return for sheltering him: she would have him, inside and out, whether he wanted her or not.
Zhu Yunsui was very happy during that time, but the happy days were too short.
The people searching for him arrived. In her panic, she accidentally pushed him into a raging river. Watching the churning water swallow him, she felt such regret.
After grieving for a few days, Zhu Yunsui soon fell in love again, this time with another outstandingly handsome man.
Just as before, she kept watch day and night until she got another chance to scoop him up.
That day, she helped the man through the courtyard gate. Someone inside had been waiting for her for a long time.
The young man who should have fallen into the river stood in the courtyard, a piece of charcoal pinched between his fingers. The yellowing walls and ground around him were covered in countless repetitions of the word "Die. Die. Die..."
He seemed not to see the fear in her eyes. Calmly, he drew the final stroke, then smiled and offered her a false look of regret.
"You've brought someone home again? Does he know how you look when you say you love me in bed? Now that you've brought him here, I suppose we'll have to let him see how you've been loving me all this time."
Wu Fengsheng was the only son of the Grand Princess. Born to great privilege, he was more handsome than any man in the world. He was adored by everyone, but no one knew he had a strange illness: in his eyes, every person vanished after three breaths. No matter how many times he saw them, he could never remember their faces.
But one day, he went blind.
A woman rescued him. She coaxed and deceived him with a mouthful of lies, all to get him. After she had him, she said she loved him even as she shoved him into a river.
As Wu Fengsheng crawled out of the river, soaked to the skin, he thought:
He would love her too, in their home, on the wooden bed where they rested, beneath the yellowing corner of the wall...
He would love her, fiercely.
