The transmigration novel Love Across Lifetimes became an overnight sensation. The childhood sweetheart couldn't compete with the newcomer, and readers were heartbroken over the original heroine's death, generating a powerful force of will. Huang Qing, a weasel spirit who was wholly devoted to becoming an immortal, coveted that force. She entered the world of the book, slipped into the body of the original Huang Qing after she drowned, and absorbed all the readers' force of will to aid her cultivation. She never expected that her foreign power would be so overwhelming that it suppressed the world's consciousness. The red-marriage star cloud of Prince Cheng Nan Yicheng also drifted away from the transmigrator and settled above her head.
Huang Qing: "..."
How did this happen?
Huang Yu stared at the star cloud above her head, amusement in her eyes. "You reap what you sow. You took her body and swallowed the force of will that belonged to her, so of course you have to accept the love between them, too. A Qing, congratulations. From today onward, as a weasel, you'll have to shoulder a human life."
Huang Qing: "..."
In the world within the book.
Xiang Qing looked at Huang Qing sitting across from her and said firmly, "You like Nan Yicheng."
Huang Qing poured herself a cup of tea and drank it. "So what?"
It was good tea, wasted on her. She had always preferred wine.
"Can you let him go?"
Huang Qing spoke as if to her, and as if to herself. "When did I ever take him for my own?"
Xiang Qing: "I don't understand..." How could she refuse to spend the rest of her life with him when they loved each other?
"What you seek in this life is no more than a passing cloud to me. I never cared for it before, and now... I can calmly accept that I like him, but I can't accept him. I can't, and I don't want to."
Note: This is a short story. Please try not to read it at night. There's a good chance you'll cry, and falling asleep after crying is bad for your health.
Theme: After meeting you, I found myself, too.
