Hua Yan, in this life as well as the past, yearned only for a devoted heart, someone who would ascend the heavens and descend to Nine Springs, to stand by her side in life and death.
She was stubborn; once she set her heart on a matter or a person, she would follow through with single-minded determination, never turning back even if she ran into a wall. The passion with which she threw herself at anything was like a moth darting into the flames. Crown Prince Huaiyu could not give her that, Emperor Huaiyu could not give her that, but Yun Chi, also a Crown Prince, shared her stubborn single-mindedness and passion. He could give her that, and he did.
It seemed she had found the reason heaven had been so gracious to her this lifetime.
From the highest heavens to the deepest underworld, they would never let each other down in life or death.
This was the most solemn vow they could share.
