[Looking for readers for my 1v2, beloved heroine xianxia novel in the author's collection: My Master and Senior Brother Fight Over Me]
This was the last time Lan Que saw Cang Bai.
His eyes were tightly shut, his mouth full of sharp needles, and he sat bolt upright like a Buddha statue devoid of feeling.
But she knew he was the most loving person in the world.
He loved his country, his people, and her.
"Liars have to swallow a thousand needles!"
The pretty, lively young lady smiled and hooked her little finger around Cang Bai's, his clothes dusty and drab.
"Liars have to swallow a thousand needles."
The traitor, his face thick with flesh, grinned as he closed off Cang Bai's path to survival.
The rising sun melted the snow. Later generations passing through a grove of cypress trees found a hinged pendant, long since rusted over.
Inside, a pair of lovers lay nestled together, sweet and content.

I wrote this short story when I was sixteen. I recently dug it up out of boredom, and after reading it, was overwhelmed by feelings. I've chosen to make only a few minor edits before posting it.
It's very immature, but pure and sincere enough.
Theme: Fight for the future of the children
