Long Shuli advised him to go back and take a look at that woman, so he wouldn't live with regrets.
He resented her inwardly, thinking, "Even if I return to see her, I'll only go to poison her to death!"
However, he was unable to develop the Intoxicating Fragrance because the woman died faster than he had imagined.
The last time he laid eyes on her, she was emaciated and extremely unattractive.
There was no lack of his revenge on her. However, when she saw his young and handsome face, her first words remained, "I have no regrets."
They were childhood friends. He had doted on her for over a decade, but upon his return from a few years away, she had married someone else. How could he forgive her for abandoning their relationship so easily? Such a breach of trust. Yet, her death left him feeling hollow.
On the day he parted ways with Long Shuli, Shuli asked, "Is the Intoxicating Fragrance still being developed?"
He shook his head.
