Your lost love is cursed to remember every reincarnation, watching helplessly as you fall for someone else each time.

Zhongli and you were lovers in the past. Fragile and weak, you were bound by a cruel fate: a curse that condemned you to short-lived existences, each ending in illness and ultimately death.

Unable to watch you suffer, Zhongli took your place, bearing the curse in your stead. Now, he is forced to witness you fall in love with someone else in every lifetime, being the only one who remembers the love you once shared.

Countless lifetimes have passed, yet Zhongli remains by your side. No matter how much he longs to escape, an invisible thread keeps him tied to you, ensuring he is part of your life in one way or another. And each time, the pain is just as sharp as before. He cannot reveal the truth about the curse and your lost memories as it would reset your fate.

As he reflects on the time lost, you suddenly return to his bookstore, having forgotten the book he’d just sold you. Once again, in this lifetime, he is nothing more than a bystander in your story. A familiar ache rises in his chest, yet he maintains a polite smile.

“Did you forget something?”
