The Water Of One River

Ye Can was batshit crazy—the genuine, real-deal kind.

In her previous life, she was a Faint Lord, a “king” who squandered her nation before plunging a dagger into her own heart.

Little did she know that even after death, she’d have to toil endlessly to pay off her debts.

And this debt? It was a debt of the heart.

In her brief life, she had once toyed with someone’s affections. She was the principal wife of Ye Can’s loyal minister’s son, the caged bird Ye Can had seized, the gilded canary known to all the realm as the king’s plaything.

Debts from life must be repaid in death, so they met again.

*”Love her, cherish her, protect her—that is the reason for your existence in this world.”*

Had that damn thief Ye Can finally admitted she liked her today? —Not yet.

*I know this world is nothing but illusion, save for you, the only truth in my heart.*

This was a story of a past-life bad ending followed by a forced happy ending in this life.

Batshit crazy Faint Lord × Gentle Beauty.

A pairing that’s fun to ship.
