Shen Zhixi followed Shen Zhiqiao's silhouette until the 'click' of a closing door resounded, only then did he slowly withdraw his gaze.
He took out the jade artifact he carried all the time from his pocket and gently caressed it in the palm of his hand.

Back then, he had committed a great taboo on Ear Mountain, had his muscles and bones discarded, and was left unattended in the damp, shadowy swamp.
Everything he did was for her, yet in the end, even she could not forgive him.
He could not understand, resented this hypocritical world, and then, when he was in complete despair, he found this jade artifact.
