Even a Heart Full of Sorrow Is Still Love

A bond carved in the Three Lives Stone, a love spanning three lifetimes.

In their first life, he killed her with his own hands, and she followed him in death.

In their second life, he died saving her, and she, her heart turned to ashes, followed close behind.

In their third life, she chose to set him free and leave first.

She had thought he was the trial fate had set for her, never realizing that she was the hardship weighing him down. Their parting was written in the stars.

Enough. If this is fate, why cling to him? She would give her own life in exchange for a future in which he could live boldly and freely.

Gazing at the seven characters formed by petals filling the sky, “Even a sorrowful heart is still a heart in love,” the Boundary Keeper asked in confusion, “Your Highness, what does this mean?”

Xuan Ze smiled bitterly, a hint of relief in his eyes. “I was fortunate enough to meet you in three lifetimes.”

But you and I can never meet again. Is this the ending you wanted? If so, how could I ever bear to refuse you?
