He Xuan remembers everything-the hatred, the vengeance, and the moment he beheaded Shi Wudu. He doesn't regret taking his life, but he does regret what came after. He hurt her.
Shi Qingxuan, his light in a world of darkness, was the only person he ever truly loved. And in his blind rage, he lost her forever.
Now, reborn in a modern world where fragments of his past remain, fate gives him an impossible second chance. A scholarship to the Grand University of Xianle leads him to her-the girl he thought he'd never see again. Through a mix-up with their shared birthday and names, they end up as flatmates.
To her, he's just a quiet, reserved stranger. She doesn't remember the heavens, the sea, or him. But He Xuan remembers it all.
This time, he won't let his anger destroy everything. This time, he'll protect her and love her as she deserves. Even if she never remembers him, He Xuan vows to cherish her and create a new story for them-one without pain, regret, or loss.
