Chapter 97 Once Again on the Seventh Night of July

That year, Princess Xi, Kong Yue, and Xuan Zhi were also among the crowd. It felt like yesterday that they were having fun together.

Wu Xin’s tears had long blurred her view and flowed down her cheeks. She had rarely cried since she started the journey of revenge. Still, it had been her norm to indulge herself in the past and allow herself to be weak during the Lantern Festival on the Seventh Night of July. Slowly closing her eyes, she touched the only ornament on her head, the pearl hairpin, felt the pearl with her fingers, and let her tears flow.

She thought of her lover Kong Yue, of everything that happened in the past, and of her love and joy as well as her hatred and sorrow... Wu Xin stood still by the river, singing softly the song Kong Yue taught her again and again. The lyrics were like a reflection of her life, “Wind and sand blocked my view... I wished life could still be a beautiful song under the moonlight when I woke up.” Time flew by.
