In the corner, a figure curled up tightly, eyes shut tight, her brow furrowed with deep lines, and beads of sweat clung to her forehead. Her face was pale, even whiter than the city walls. Her hands and feet were bound, and a cloth gagged her mouth. Sima Rui felt a pang in his heart as tears he never thought a ruler should shed slipped down his cheeks. He stared in shock at the liquid that fell onto her fair cheek, believing that since the death of his mother, since he had married one consort after another with a blank expression, and since the day he became emperor, he would never cry again—he thought he had lost the ability to weep entirely. Yet today—tears flowed like a river breaking its dam, uncontrollable and unrestrained.
She was indeed cruel, not even granting her the right to end her own life. The old woman had said that as long as she chose to take her own life, she would no longer save him. Was that why she clung to life even knowing she was destined to die? Even in her unconscious state, she moaned softly in pain, but because her mouth was bound, the sounds were barely audible.
Sima Rui stumbled over to her and lifted her into his arms, holding her tightly. Just as the old woman had said, by the sixth day, her bones and flesh had turned to pus; when he held her, her body felt soft and pliable, like a skin filled with warm water.
He removed the cloth binding her mouth and gently pressed his dry lips against hers with immense pity, softly sucking and lightly licking as if pouring all his tenderness into that moment. He disregarded everything else—let the pus be damned, let living be damned. Sima Rui murmured to the unconscious girl, "No matter who you are or whether you are him or not, I love you. Xie Weiying, you have won; I love you, I love you, I love you..." He admitted it—he had to admit it—he had fallen for this enigmatic woman. He loved her. This woman who had been driven to wounds by him yet remained silently by his side without ever speaking of love but genuinely cared for him with all her heart; he loved her. Even if he didn't understand whether he loved two different people at once, even if half of his heart still belonged to another person, even if he didn't know what secrets lay between them or whether she was deceiving him... he loved her.
The girl in his arms opened her pupils wide at his murmured calls, filled with shock and disbelief. The soft sensation on her lips was real; the warm breath on her cheek was real—it wasn't a dream; he truly didn’t care anymore...
A wave of intense pain surged from deep within his soul—a painful roar erupted... His body straightened under the forceful breath that surged forth, even Feng Fei emitted a blinding white light that shot up into the sky.
"What are you doing?!" The old woman who had been watching coldly suddenly stepped forward. "Quickly bind her mouth again; do you know you'll kill her?!"
Sima Rui ignored her completely and kissed her lips once more—intensely and recklessly filled with emotion. If she died, he wouldn’t want to live alone anymore. His agile tongue gently licked at her slightly parted lips before delving in to savor the warmth and moisture within; he entwined his tongue with hers like a blooming bud.
The most beautiful kiss is one where your tongue can form a cherry blossom knot. I can no longer recall who said that. But that feeling must be the world's greatest happiness—I slowly awakened amidst an unusual tenderness. My eyes sparkled shyly with a crystalline glow; my cheeks were tinted with an enchanting blush; my lips were plump and rosy from his kisses. The pain that had nearly overwhelmed me began to fade away, replaced by another sensation. My body started to feel limp because I was so tired—so very tired—and I just wanted to rest for a moment. I had held on for too long; I really wanted to take a break.
Seeing the slightly flushed face before me left me dazed: "Where am I? Are we both dead?"
His eyes mirrored confusion as if he couldn’t understand why I seemed fine. Suddenly, an uncontrollable laugh erupted nearby; it was still dry and hoarse but somehow sounded much more pleasant.
I felt completely weak and still bound hand and foot, only able to lean ambiguously against Sima Rui as he held me close; this intimacy made me feel somewhat uneasy.
I looked at the old woman with confusion.
She suddenly gazed deeply at the two of us and said, "Do you know that the pill has a full name that hasn't been mentioned? Its true name is the Soul Rebirth Pill."
"Soul Severing Pill rebirth?" I asked, still puzzled.
She smiled lightly and then said, "I believe you should know my nephew, Murong Han, right?"
