A day in Heaven is a year in the mortal world.
The two of them always seem to meet for the first time in the rain.
Since returning from her tribulation, Zhuo Li has spent her days lazing around. She has stopped going down to the mortal world to sightsee and shirk her duties, but she still hasn't devoted herself to cultivation. She isn't worried, but everyone else is frantic.
Because she failed her tribulation.
At last, her brother couldn't stand it anymore. He tossed her a task and demanded she complete it within 48 days.
Zhuo Li: What happens if I don't?
Her brother: You'll regret it.
Zhuo Li wasn't concerned. All she had to do was send off those who refused to move on. Easy!
But then she took a closer look and realized things were not looking good. Why were they all about love and romance?
Zhuo Li scoffed to herself. Was there such a thing as true love in the mortal world?
In the pouring rain, Zhuo Li stood beneath the covered walkway. In the distance, she saw someone holding an umbrella. Rain fell like a curtain, blurring the figure. Protected by a concealment spell, Zhuo Li watched without a care, never expecting the person to suddenly speak.
Zhuo Li froze. "You can see me?"
He said he had no name, so Zhuo Li called him Nameless.
She was sure they would never cross paths again, yet somehow, she kept seeing him.
Until the last time, when she looked at him with nothing but loathing.
Because in his eyes, Zhuo Li saw herself lying in a pool of blood, a vast bloom of red spreading from her neck.
His eyes brimmed with blood. Mixed with the torrential rain, it dripped down, impossible to tell whether it was rain or blood.
Zhuo Li & Nameless
Huang Li Jing & Liang Hemian
A pseudo past-life-and-present-life story, with a mountain of authorial liberties and absolutely no logic.
A flights-of-fancy story, with a little romance. If you're interested, don't overthink it, just read for fun.
Still figuring things out...
Theme: Enjoy the moment. Everything has many sides.
