Park Jeong Hyeon did not have any regrets. He had lived his whole life adhering to the principles behind the name that he had been bestowed with. ['Jeong 正'] which means 'right/proper'; ['Hyeon 현'] which means 'bright'; He was intelligent, never experiencing any major hurdle in his childhood, youth, and adulthood. He had lived properly and was amiable to everyone, placing his family and close friends above others, even his own need sometimes. Was that why his beautiful elegant wife of ten years decided to off him to the after-world? He thought he had done everything 'right' for her, spoiling her and even raised her children from another man, loving them like his own. Because he was always kind and gentle, and did everything 'proper', did she think he was not manly enough? But death was the end anyway, and he would not be able to learn from his mistakes. As he closed his eyes, feeling aggrieved for having lived as a fool, he was greeted by two deities - or so they claimed. They made an offer he could not refuse: to live different lives in the three thousand worlds; to right the wrongs; to be kind to those who deserve it; and slap the faces of those who had been affected by malice and hurt innocent people. This time, Jeong Hyeon would live his lives to the fullest, love those who are worthy, help aggrieved souls who would be suffering because of the growing malice that had escaped to different worlds he would be travelling to. All with the help of the pair of deities who obviously had too much time on their hands.

The deity of fate, the goddess who was tasked to weave destinies for the myriad of mortal worlds the heaven was in charge of, finally had to undergo her own tribulation. She had a new deputy, hence she could go and play - I mean, undergo her tribulations - in complete peace. However, the new deity - the deputy Scribe of Fate - had a deep frown that darkened his handsome face, as he skimmed through the layers and layers of tapestry of fates. What the heck are these destinies? Is this goddess a masochist? He always knew she was a sadist, but looking at this absurd, chaotic lives that she had chosen for herself... . "All in the name of collecting the best karma as soon as possible" - or so Tian Ming had claimed before she merrily disappeared beyond the Endless Water. Shen Wei initially just intended to sit and watch, but soon he had a headache. He was overworked, and Tian Ming was definitely crazy! After her twelveth death of being betrayed and impaled from north to south, east to west, he could no longer idly sit by. Screw the "collecting karma as quickly as possible". Her soul might risk blackening after being hurt and bertrayed so many times. She overestimated herself. He decided that he would be the only man to stand between her and her suicidal tendencies in those realms. He would save her, definitely not for the sake of having a break. Yes, definitely not because he wanted to play as well. -----------A/N----------- Transmigration/Quick Rebirth Style. Re-occurring characters from LYFAL, OLINE, and RYFE. If dear readers have not read those yet, it will not really spoil this story, but you may be confused on those characters' background... .

[[Book 2 (FINAL book) of "One Lifetime is Never Enough"]] "I would have waited for you forever." The lament of a faraway voice that she had missed - that she had been longing to answer to - echoed in her mind. "But, you are no longer here." The despairing sigh was a muted murmur - clawing at her, begging for her to respond. But she was there, here, wherever the voice was. But then again, she might as well was not. She could no longer see, could no longer reach him. The voice sounded so near, but it was also as far as another world she could no longer be in. Nevertheless, she could still feel, in the darkness that was cradling her non-existence; the agony she felt in her non-beating heart, in her dormant soul, it was all due to her longing. For the owner of the voice. For him. The voice kept begging in agony - tormenting her, tormenting himself. And she could not do anything. "Please wait for me." "Please remember me." "Why... why can't I see you?" "Won't you wait for me?" ----------------- For you, I will wait for eternity. This time, I will wait. This time, it is my turn to wait. So please, please just let me find you. Please, be there when I find you. Please, tell me that you are still mine. That I still exist, perhaps not in your memory, but etched in your very soul. Like you have been deeply engraved in mine, lingering like a beautiful illness I will gladly bear and succumb to. Because, I will search to all corners of this world, and wait until the end of days. For you. Because, this world will always be wretched without you. And then, I will always, forever, bloom. For you. -----------------

She thought she was going to die. She did. But the next time she opened her eyes , she found out that she was living a whole new life, as a little girl who was going to enter a noble household as a maid. However, a true pearl can never hide its lustre. It was a new world, set in ancient China-like era. Despite being confined in the vicinity of her new masters' household, she strove to live, and perhaps find love. Little did she know, her current life was one that had been pre-ordained. Not by the gods or heavens, but by a promise made by someone that had followed her through countless lifetimes ago. ||Author's note|| Original story. It's best to start with this book (One Lifetime is Never Enough / OLiNE). BUT before proceeding beyond chapter 28, I suggest to read book 0 (Loving You For A Lifetime/ LYFAL). Then, Book 2 (Remembering You For Eternity / RYFE) will be the conclusion of the tale spanning over the 3 books. Any images used were taken off the wonderful worldwideweb (mainly Pinterest). No copyright infringement ever intended. If you are aware of any credit due and which must be mentioned (or removed), please let me know. English is only my second language, so please bear with any of my errors. Book 0 and Book 1 especially, were written without editors and/or proofreaders. Mistakes abound.

Book 0 of "One Lifetime is Never Enough". A chance encounter. Or was it really? Lee Tanaka was a young man at the peak of his life. Smart, good-looking, great career in a growing law firm, with a good personality to boot, he was the perfect man. His life only revolved around various court cases. And good coffee. Until he met a young woman at a cafe.... A/N: Recommended to read this either before reading chapter 1.28 of Book "One Lifetime is Never Enough" or before reading it at all.
