A Letter from a Woman Far Away

Female lead's perspective:

I hate you. I hate how you are exactly what you seem.

If you were vile and hypocritical,

I could fall into the mire of decadence and indulgence with a clear conscience.

But you aren't, so all I can do is climb the steep crags like a pilgrim,

hoping only to reach the promised land you spoke of.

Male lead's perspective:

Dragging my failing organs around, I shamelessly longed for a young body.

Thankfully, I restrained myself in time and didn't ruin her happiness.

After I die, I leave all my assets to Cheng Lingyao.

She's a good girl with a bright future. Please look after her.
