Yan Qingsi had never seen a love as intense as the one You Yi harbored toward her mother. It was so deep that she felt the sheer weight of it.

Yan Qingsi's lips were cracked from the heat. When she spoke, the tiny cracks on her lips split open, like the subtle prick of a needle. "After all these years of waiting, you got the news of her death instead of a happy ending. Will you… regret it?" she asked. "Will you regret looking for her all these years? Or perhaps you will think that if you had never found her, you would still have hope?"
