After Her Soul Was Scattered

Liu Mingyue was an ordinary fisherman's daughter. She lived a simple, uneventful life day after day, until one day, on a beach at low tide, she rescued a man. He had handsome, refined features, like an immortal banished from heaven, but he was gravely injured and had lost all his memories.

Liu Mingyue named him Liu Hegui: “When I see the crane return, I will meet you.”

She saved him, and planned to let him leave once his injuries healed. She never expected that he would insist on repaying her.

The two became husband and wife. Back then, Liu Mingyue thought she was the happiest girl in the world.

Sadly, one day he died saving her. Before he passed, he left her a jade pendant.

Holding the pendant, Liu Mingyue endured countless hardships before finally finding the legendary Immortal Sect. Only then did she discover that her husband had not truly died. The man who died in the mortal realm had been just a wisp of his soul.

That man was Xie Fuwei, the Immortal Sect's senior disciple. Gifted beyond compare, handsome, and possessed of profound cultivation, he needed only to overcome his tribulation of love before he could ascend to immortality. So he sealed his memories and descended to the mortal realm to undergo that tribulation.

How laughable. The love she had cherished was only a tribulation of love for him. Yet Liu Mingyue still wanted to see him one more time. She wanted to look once again at the fool who had died for her. But Xie Fuwei refused. The one who loved her had been only a fragment of his soul. What did that have to do with him?

Liu Mingyue had once been the girl countless young men dreamed of, yet in Xie Fuwei's eyes she was lower than dirt.

Much later, Liu Mingyue's soul dispersed at Wangchun Mountain. Before she died, she finally saw an illusion of Liu Hegui. She missed him so much. At last, she could be with him forever.

That very day, the usually cool and composed Xie Fuwei went mad.

What fragment of a soul? From beginning to end, he was the one who loved her.

Sadly, it was too late.

The world had no more Liu Hegui, and no more Liu Mingyue.

All that remained was the fallen immortal Xie Fuwei, driven mad by love.
