Star-crossed

Following Wen Kexing's return and his subsequent revenge on Zhao Jing, everyone was happily awaiting the day of Cao Weining and Gu Xiang's wedding, soon to be held in the Ghost Valley. There were many preparations to be made; Wen Kexing, in particular, had his hands full as he wanted to make sure his little girl got the best once-in-a-lifetime experience with the man that she chose.

Naturally, Zhou Zishu also shared their happiness. He was especially aware of how Wen Kexing was feeling at the moment, having finally broken free of the chains of past grudges that had been haunting him for many years to finally begin his life anew.

But as much as he wished to be happy, his impending death continued to remind Zhou Zishu that in the blissful future his soulmate had now obtained, he could never take any place in it.
