An eye for an eye. He wanted revenge. She wanted peace. Those who wronged her were on his blacklist.

To exact revenge for the sake of his peace-loving Master, he must go against her wishes and throw himself into the ring of war - A war against the Heavens. --- [Excerpt] Xiaoling’s heart skipped a beat. He rested his head on her shoulder often, but her heart pounded as if this was his first time. “Isn’t it funny?” Weisheng asked as he scoffed in amusement, “I vowed to protect a woman named Xiao Hua with all my life, but here I am, insanely in love with a woman named Xiaoling.” “You…” Xiaoling tried to speak but ended up silent. “It doesn’t matter who I am,” Weisheng murmured, “All that matters is you stay by my side forever.” He raised his head from her shoulder and looked into her eyes, “Because you’re the only one I have in this world.” **** “Then you deserve my forgiveness,” Xiaoling smiled brightly, “Even though you ruined my life, you came back to make it up to me, didn’t you?” “That’s just my selfishness,” Weisheng shrugged, “I don’t deserve you, but I will die before witnessing you with someone else, so…” He rolled his eyes, “You just fell into my trap.” Xiaoling chuckled, “It’s okay. I like this trap.” --- Cover Artist: https://www.instagram.com/alina._.smthng/ My Linktree: https://linktr.ee/Haru.is.cuter.than.you
Xiaoling put the empty cup on the table while still holding it, indicating she wanted more tea. Weisheng noticed immediately and poured her tea again. She took her time drinking it, sitting in silence with Weisheng.
"So, what's your decision?" Weisheng asked to break the ice, "Knowing them, they probably came to you and asked you to decide for them."
Xiaoling looked up at him, "I asked for time," She truthfully told him, "Well, I will only think about Ru this time. Qiang must reincarnate no matter what. About Ru, I'll think."
Weisheng narrowed his eyes, "Why are you so adamant about Miss Qiang's reincarnation?"
Xiaoling looked down melancholically, "She has been with me for 2000 years. Her sentence was so long. I saw her ups and downs. She always wanted to reincarnate. It's unfair that she forces herself to stay behind to keep me company. Deep down, I know she wants to reincarnate soon." She muttered, "I won't let her act recklessly anymore."
