[Heartless Witch vs. Fallen God's Hound]
Can't enemies become lovers? Wouldn't it be better if we all put down our weapons and learned to live like decent people?
*
During the final three years of Zong Shouheng's repayment of a debt of gratitude, a demoness appeared who was determined to fight him to the death. As she stabbed him, she scolded him for being so stubborn: "Are you demons all this thickheaded? If you promised to repay a debt for three hundred years, does that mean you can't stop a single day early? Move aside and let me kill that tyrant already. Then you won't have to take so many stabs!"
He really was stubborn, refusing to give an inch. "You want revenge, I want to repay my debt. Let's each rely on our own abilities!"
The demoness sneered. "Fine. Let's see who's outmatched and deserves to die!"

Just the night before, they had been whispering sweet nothings, but upon waking, they were at each other's throats once more.
Watching her turn and walk away without hesitation, Zong Shouheng staggered after her. "Yiming, I've given you everything. I respect you, love you, protect you... I even planned to cut out my heart for you, and you still want to abandon me?"
Yiming refused to look back. "I was born without a heart, so of course I'm heartless. You actually believed the sweet nothings and tenderness in bed? How ridiculous!"
Zong Shouheng gritted his teeth and swore, "I should have known. You're heartless, and crueler than anyone! Yiming, if we ever meet again, I'll take your life!"
*
In the third year after Yiming died, he leapt from a cliff a thousand feet high.
