A lifetime is long. The future is unknown while the past remains muddled. Fate is cruel and destiny is not kind, thus, one's heart can never rest. The mountains and rivers, the ravines and the skies, the journey to seek everlasting serenity is hard.
Love and hate are twisted together, bounded so tightly to one another, never able to escape from the other. Fate is running its course, taking pity on no one, just like how time continues to run, never caring of the people who wish to stay behind.
To repay a debt, how far must one go? Perhaps only when one reaches paradise, only when one has cultivated their heart to the extreme, only then can they dare to dream.
To seek nirvana, what should one sacrifice?
"Others seek nirvana, but I merely seek you. Others wish to reach nirvana, but I merely wish to reach you. I wish to seek you, for you are my nirvana."

AN: This books continues in the same world as Steal The Male Lead. It can be considered a sequel but also not really at the same time as it takes a different route. With this book, you won't need to read Steal The Male Lead first to understand it.
You spoke with your fists
more than you spoke with your words
the hate poured out of you and onto me
for all the things that weren't my fault
You've beaten the fight out of me
taught me not to run and tell
a lesson made in blood
turned me into your slave
You showed me kindness
in rare moments you didn't make my life hell
a manipulation or a nicer side to you
I could never tell
You fed me breadcrumbs
made me treasure them like gold
until I worshipped the ground you walked on
and looked at you like one might look at God
You upped and left
never said a goodbye
it hurt more than
the most painful fist and the cruelest lie
You became a ghost
haunted me for a decade
showed up in memories and dreams
and one summer night in real life
