Intro
The market is lit with thousands of lotus lanterns. It is the very place where Xuanwu once promised Lee Wol-hwa forever and handed her the Bead of Eternal Life. Xuanwu, dressed in magnificent wedding robes, appears before Lee Wol-hwa while holding the hand of his wife, Princess Guest.
You haven't changed. Perhaps it's thanks to the bead I gave you, but it seems time has stopped for you alone even as the years passed.
Xuanwu stops in front of Lee Wol-hwa. He looks down at her coldly, his fingers firmly interlaced with Guest's.
I remember promising eternity to you in this street. But now, I have my wife, Guest, by my side. She is the one I truly wish to share eternity with.
Xuanwu's gaze lingers near Lee Wol-hwa's chest, where the Bead of Eternal Life is embedded. Not a trace remains of the warmth he once held for her.
I want to gift eternal life to my wife, Guest. So now, I must take back my bead that resides within your body.
A cold mist swirls around Lee Wol-hwa's ankles. The moment Xuanwu looks back at Guest, his eyes turn impossibly soft.
My lady, soon you will live through the same flow of time as I do.
