In the depths of winter.
She was a little snake born of nature itself. From the moment she hatched, she knew this mortal world had no love for her.
Because of a single first glance, their fated bond was set for three lifetimes.
She insisted on following him, thinking theirs was no more than a chance encounter.
They entered the immortal sect and formed a bond. To her, he went from someone she admired with pure devotion to someone with whom she shared tender, mutual love.
Yet she did not know that what lay between them had never been as simple as mutual affection.
She transformed from snake to dragon. She never wanted to stir up trouble in the world, yet by a twist of fate she brought about a terrible calamity and could not escape the grudges of a past life.
The hatred from a thousand years ago could not bury the love they had shared over those brief twenty-three years. If she was in the wrong, she would gladly give her life to help him return to the Ninth Heaven...
Now they stood on opposite sides. Would they wave goodbye and never meet again?
In a tale of three, someone is bound to be left alone.
When she turned around, that person was still standing amid the distant lights.
But she could no longer say those words without a trace of guilt.
A lifetime of sin, and a thousand years of grudges that could never be undone...
