吐花病 (Hanahaki)

A tiny snippet of a much larger worldbuilding universe of mine.
Synopsis:
There are two sides to every story, no matter how narrow the scope of that story may be; there is a villain for every hero, no matter the nature of either.
To Mo Long- to the world- Jin Guang is a villain, driven by his tragic past to do unforgivable things.
To Jin Guang, to the Barrier of Shenzhou, he himself is a villain, tearing apart the life and love he should have had for the sake of nothing at all.
A villain should not love.
A villain should be cold and cruel and uncompromising, should place that selfish ideal above all else.
But he loved.
It was a love inherently flawed, inherently broken in nature, but it was love all the same, despite its nature and its end.
And thus did the garden of his torment grow.
