Worthy of Your Love

In a chaotic age, heroes vie for supremacy: the victor becomes king, and the defeated are forgotten. The throne changes hands, and those who go against the current struggle to stay afloat.

She made a name for herself in her youth, a lone phoenix spreading her wings. Her literary brilliance moved the feudal lords, and a song brought the realm into view.

He kept his ambitions buried deep, chasing the waves at their crest. Alone through wind and rain, he watched beacon fires flare across ten thousand miles of mountains and rivers.

That day, two young souls wandered beneath the snow and wind, meeting without yet knowing sorrow.

She said, "Ever since I met you, nothing but bad luck has come my way. So I should stay away from you."

He said, "Ever since I met you, my luck has only gotten better. So I've decided to keep you by my side."

Once, they had both sought noble titles, but the mountains and rivers remained unchanged. After countless ships had passed, they finally looked back.

She said, "Do you think feelings won through an exchange of favors will last?"

He said, "Come with me. I'll make sure your entire clan lives on forever."

Later, her beauty faded. She went far away, and he remained alone.

She said, "A cup of humble wine, to the half a lifetime of fate we shared."

He said, "Even if you are buried in this life, it can only be beside me."

At last, their hair turned white as snow. His youth was long gone, but her features remained unchanged.

She said, "After half a lifetime of struggle, all I gained was sand slipping through my fingers. What I truly wanted was right beside me all along."

He said, "After ten years, I wake from a great dream. I'm grateful that when I woke, you were by my side."

It took only a moment to meet you, but a lifetime to remember and mourn you.
