In the ancient realm there was a soul who was known widely as Hanguang-Jun.
He was known to be aloof and away from worldly beings. Seldom people knew him for who he was or what his heart truly yearned in reality.
A man who loved dearly and in retu...
Dusk in Gusu has always been a sight to behold. It was just me who never admired it's beauty before. For me Cloud Recess was just a place to reside and one day leave the painful life behind and attain the immortal world. From the day I was born my soul attributed snow to being cold and loveless. I lost a lot of tears amongst them until I had nothing more to lose.
I remember vividly at this one old memory where an Elder had commented "You live true to your name, Wangji. I wonder if something would ever capture your heart?". Those words kept pondering in my soul. Will there be anyone who would capture my heart? I never believed in love. Who would have loved a man like me? This stone cold heart had been chiseled enough to hurt anyone who walked into his life. Even though I knew there was this one toothy smile that I could never seem to forget, I never believed that he would have ever been a part of my life.
But then he did. He just did not become a part of my life.
He became my life.
This heart only knew him. This heart only lived for him. This heart would continue to live for him until this eternity passes by.
For Lan Zhan there was only his Wei Ying.

Walking back to Cloud Recess, on my way I see a small familiar silhouette sitting by the frozen lake, deep in thoughts for she did not even realise that I was by her side. Her eyes were glazed and her young body was shivering. She wasn't wearing her thick robe to protect her from the snow.
Untying my cloak that was fastend to my neck, I slowly place it on her shoulders. It was then her gaze met mine and averted them quickly.
"Apology Hanguang-Jun, I did not realise you were here" she was about to remove the cloak when I stilled her movements "Wear them. You're not used to the harsh winters of Gusu" with a meek nod she covers her freezing body and that breaks my heart further. The sadness in her eyes are ones which are quite familiar to me. Unable to leave the child all alone I take a seat next to hers and we sit under quietude.
My eyes travel against the expanse and wonder what answers have I sought from them. Seems they are familiar in providing a balm to the troubled hearts.
"Aren't you going to ask me what I am doing here?" Her question is a meek whisper and I look down at her sad eyes.
"I won't ask but if you wish to share your burden then I will listen to them patiently" I assure her. She does open up eventually albeit her confession was heart wrenching.
"Hanguang-Jun, all these years I lived with a broken heart yet the flame in me burnt to question Yunmeng Sect Leader Jiang Cheng as to what wrong did my father commit for that he had to be punished in such brutal way but now after knowing the truth" she looked into my eyes "I am unable to comprehend as to what has to be done. All my life I had an aim but now that's gone and I have nothing Hanguang-Jun. Nothing. No vengeance. No anger. No emotions. What do I look forward to in life now?" she was in tears and I looked back at the frozen lake in front of us.
