A broken promise. Persistence spanning beyond life and death. "You broke your promise first, why can't I broke mine?" "I keep this name to remember the promise I have once made, the promise I have once broken. Once again, it will be the promise I keep." "I don't even want to appear in front of you anymore. Not even in your most discreet dreams." "You are the only one I have ever made a promise to. You are my pledge." "Shi Yan, I am tired. Truly tired... ." "I was tired too, but did you let me go?" The solitary Paragon wanted to love, yet he wanted to forget. He made a promise. Why did he break it? She made a promise. Why couldn't she break it too? The night did not want to be forgotten. Thus she broke the pact and kept a fragment of his soul. Separated for hundreds of years, her love was fed by the silent pledge. "To love you, has become a part of me. To love you, has become too painful. Yet, I don't want to forget this pain."

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.
