Moonlight Pearl

"He could give her a hundred billion worth of romance, but not a lifetime together."

The Hong Kong media once criticized Song Boqing's relationship, condemning him as heartless and unfeeling.

But no one knew how much he had done for that woman. When her family turned against her, he used his connections to help her. When she lost her father, he flew back from abroad after dozens of hours in the air, just to stand before the funeral hall and offer incense in her name as her husband. Through countless rainy nights and all those passing seasons, they had once been the most important people in each other's lives.

But that was all in the past.

Later, he found someone new, and she moved on with her life. They no longer had anything to do with each other.

Ge Yu had a scar on her abdomen. Even after years of surgeries, a faint mark remained. The day she returned to Wucheng was Tomb-Sweeping Day. She went to the cemetery with an umbrella to offer incense, only to see a familiar figure standing there. Rain pattered down as her faint fragrance drifted through the air.

A familiar scent of juniper mixed with jasmine.

Song Boqing slowly turned around.

Their eyes met. Song Boqing froze for a moment, then said in a cool voice, "Miss Ge, long time no see."

Ge Yu steadied herself. "Long time no see, Mr. Song."

That day was the anniversary of their child's death, and also the day they parted. Ge Yu would always remember him telling her, as they said goodbye, that they should never see each other again.

But a lifetime is a long time.

Song Boqing, I miss you. I can't help coming back to see if you're doing well.

I can't help coming back to ask if you hate me.

Reunion after a long separation / bittersweet yearning / rekindled love / love higher than the heavens, hatred deeper than the sea. A story steeped in love and hate. Please proceed with caution if this isn't your thing.
