The Phoenix Dances at Dusk

She was a wandering soul from another world. Using her soul as a guide and her bones to forge a path, she spilled blood through the cycle of reincarnation and won the chance to be reborn.

“I offer my heart's blood as a sacrifice and ask Heaven to bear witness. In this life, I want neither fame nor fortune, neither honor nor glory. I only wish to follow fate and live out my days!”

He watched her live peacefully and happily, laughing and talking as she looked down on the world. For her, he shielded the heavens with one hand and stirred up storms across the land.

“Xuan'er,” he said, his warm fingertip gliding over her smooth hair. “Having you in this life, I have no regrets!”

Far beyond, the River of Heaven; endless and winding, the great river.

Through twists and turns, whose beauty will captivate the world?

A wine jar stained with rouge; a blue robe true to its vows.

She looks down on the world's heroes. Let the beauty watch!
