"Ying..." Seeing the piercing gaze of Grand Prince Shang sweep over, Ma Tiankun immediately corrected himself, "Your Highness, please don't! It would be a commoner's lifelong honor to receive such deep affection and friendship from Your Highness, and I would die without regrets, but I plead with Your Highness to live well. That way, even in the netherworld, I would rest in peace! I pray that in the next life, I may continue our love with Your Highness!" His voice was gentle and resolute, his eyes brimming with undying tenderness and reluctance.
Long Fengying shook her head desperately, tears falling in large drops, as pitiful and plaintive as pear blossoms in the rain, completely devoid of her usual arrogance and dominance, "No! I only want to love and be with you in this life; I don't want a next life!"
"Blame it on the commoner for having deep affections but a shallow fate with Your Highness." Ma Tiankun sighed.
