Why is no one joining? Does nobody like it?

Transmigrating, a thousand years of splendor unfold in a song for you,

Two great loves in one lifetime,

Where does love belong?

Alas, alas,

It was only a dream of transmigration, lasting one night.

Of three thousand streams, I drink from only one,

For whom?

Passing through a field of flowers, not a petal clings to me.

How cruel the word “love” is: for your sake, I grow haggard.

A beauty's tears are the most heartrending.

The beauty dies, and the lord's jade is shattered.

The fallen flowers and flowing water cannot be borne; the water has no feelings.

A dream of misty rain in a glittering city,

A thousand-year bond must one day end.

He is Prince Leng Lin, cold, handsome, and heartless!

He spends his life searching for the one he loves most, never realizing that he is the one who hurts her most!

He is noble and charming, a born lover who remains true to her alone.

Of three thousand streams, I drink from only one!

She is merely a lonely soul, lost in this world.

Two loves in one lifetime: where does one love belong?

(Thanks to Lan Ying for writing this introduction for the story.)

One glance, and a lifetime is lost.

Knowing full well that she is only his substitute, she still jumps in without hesitation!

Again and again, she deceives herself!

On the eve of their wedding, she learns that his concubine is pregnant.

Heartbroken, she leaves and struggles with all her might, yet still cannot escape her entanglement with him.

Her heart turns to ashes, and she leaves resolutely.

Her love shattered, she becomes someone else and falls in love with him.

She is happy,

believing they will be happy forever.

But when that day arrives, everything is ground to dust.

What is the cause? What is the consequence?

Was she originally the other her? How absurd!

Being a substitute has always been the pain in her heart. Who could have known that in the end she would discover...

Their love had begun before they ever met!

He, the other man, and her: entangled across two lifetimes.

In the end, where will her heart belong?

This is a one-couple story, with a little angst.

Genre: Romantic Fiction

A chaotic age of warlords and fractured territories,

A city of revelry by night,

Bright lights and wine, extravagance and indulgence, singing and dancing, fine liquor and beautiful women,

All entwined in one passionate love affair after another.

Yun Ruo, a calm, detached woman: “If I don't love you, then I don't.”

Yan Rong, a cold and proud man: “The whole world belongs to me. Where could you possibly run?”

Ji Xuan, a sinister and brooding man: “If I can't have it, I'd rather destroy it!”

Yun Xi, a gentle and lovely woman: “I can hear the flowers blooming.”

Pei Feng, a wonderful, straightforward man: “Ruo Ruo, please promise me a place in your next life!”

Pei Tian, a gentle and kind-hearted man: “As long as I can watch you from afar, that's enough for me!”

What kind of song will these people compose when they meet?

Yun Ruo stood expressionlessly before the glass window, her eyes dark and unreadable.

The glass reflected a cold, merciless light, like that person's cold, merciless eyes.

“Baby, you're beautiful. Especially those clear, indifferent eyes of yours. They make me want to see what they'd look like filled with desire. Would they be even more beautiful? Hmm...” His cold kiss came with a wicked, icy voice.

“You're mine!” A domineering declaration.

“Baby, what am I going to do? I think I'm becoming less and less able to live without you!” A low murmur.

“You actually want to leave!” An angry roar!

“You dare betray me!” Eyes red as a demon's.

That air of lust, possession, and destruction brushed against her, still echoing in her ears. Their endless entanglement, their madness, remained vivid before her eyes.

Yun Ruo lifted her head and closed her eyes... Three years had passed!
