Chapter Text
This love story is one that was not meant to be. In another life, the crown prince was doomed to despair and loss and death. Grief would consume him, life had left him, but death would not take him. He wandered the earth cursed with the burdens of living alone, believing all who had once loved him had forgotten him. There was nothing for him in the end but dust.
In this life, the crown prince was once again well-loved by his people and radiated a glorious aura. Godliness had blessed him and in time he would grace the heavens for eternity. Blessed and beautiful and without burden. Tales of his wonders and legends of old would speak of the flower crowned martial god, Xie Lian. There was adoration and belonging forever.
But before his eternity, Xie Lian loved Feng Xin.
