I was only being hunted. I was thrown off a cliff, and then I transmigrated.
Why do other people transmigrate into princesses or empresses, while I became a child who had just turned one, sitting in a pile of corpses? Somehow, I became the eldest daughter of the immensely wealthy Tianxia Manor. Somehow, I ended up in a martial arts alliance that was basically an assassin organization. Somehow, I became a martial arts master.
Even though I forced myself to grow up like a child, and even though the adults doted on me, the restless part of me that still lurked inside wanted to escape.
When I was five, I hugged someone who was comforting me. Touched, I sweetly called him “Uncle.” The whole place went quiet, and I realized he was only fifteen.
When I defeated my master at ten, I ventured into the outside world and began a new journey.
When love and friendship both let me down, and my past experiences had left me as skittish as a startled bird, only in his arms could I make it safely through each long, dark night...
When I hovered between life and death, I finally understood that his name was already engraved in my heart...

“People’s hearts, time, choices, missed chances,” said the voice in my dream.
When I dreamed of it again, it asked:
“Have you understood?” The aged voice drifted softly around me.
“As time passes, people’s hearts change. When we choose one life, we also miss out on the wonders of another,” I replied calmly.
The old voice told me that a heart demon had taken root in me...
Indeed, after being “reborn” once more, a heart demon had taken hold, and love had become a kind of restraint...
“Don’t be good to me!” I shouted at him. “The more understanding you are, the more I can’t forget everything that happened before, and the more I feel I don’t deserve you! Every night, that scene replays in my mind again and again, growing clearer and clearer...”

“I’d give the rest of my life for a moment of light.” Kneeling by the window, her frail body wrapped in a loose white nightgown, she prayed silently.
A brilliant shooting star streaked across the night sky, flashing by in a breathtaking instant. But she couldn’t see it!
This was the wish she had made on every birthday since she was old enough to understand.
*
Her wish really came true. Her familiar family was gone, and so were the best years of her life, but she could see everything!
Half-reclining in an old rocking chair, she saw colors beyond black and white through her blurry vision...
It was a mysterious world she had always imagined. Like a child, she wandered around, gazing at the flowers, plants, and trees. For the first time, she met someone she fell in love with at first sight. But her youth was gone, so all she could do was like him silently, love him silently...
*
Until the last of my youth had faded, everything she had seen remained etched deep in her heart and mind...
The clear world taught her to be afraid: afraid she would fall into darkness again, afraid...
The clear world taught her sorrow. Unable to speak of her love, her heart felt as if it were being cut by a knife. Faced with one misunderstanding after another, I...
The clear world showed her betrayal, as friends became enemies...
The clear world also taught her to let go, to release a love that was never hers, to give up...
It was only an illusory dream! When she awoke, her world was still shrouded in darkness, and she would rather live in that darkness, keeping one pure corner of her heart for herself.
