第1章 即将死亡

Imminent death

[Multiple female leads, please do not read if you dislike this style]

In his first life, Qi Zhimu was a student of Ruan Mei.

"You've completed your apprenticeship. Now, leave. I won't see you again until the research is finished."

"Yes...teacher..."

Qi Zhimu left alone, but did not go far, and went into seclusion in his old place.

From then on, he only sent plum blossom wine every year and never bothered her.

He died before Nguyen Mai could finish her forbidden research.

Much later, when Ruan Mei stepped out of the research lab and learned of Qi Zhimu's death, she was suddenly struck by a realization—

His shadow had long since filled her world...

Only after uncovering the truth of the past did they realize that they had created it all with their own hands, yet they had also destroyed it all.

In his second life, Qi Zhimu was Jingliu's master.

"Master, why do you never even glance at me?"

"Master, why is there no place for me in the softest part of your heart?"

As she drew closer, she grew increasingly desperate, and gradually turned to the dark side.

It wasn't until she witnessed Qi Zhimu's death that she understood—

It turns out that the softest spot in Master's heart has always been himself.

"Hehehe... Master, you've deceived your disciple so badly..."

The third life...

Qi Zhimu respects the law of life's cycle and faces each death with equanimity.

Born open and honest, die with composure, unburdened by obsessions, untouched by sorrow.

However, they, consumed by remorse and lifelong regret, did not think that way.

【多女主，不喜勿入】
第一世，祁知慕是阮·梅的学生。
“你出师了，离开吧，研究结束前，我不会再见你。”
“是…老师……”
祁知慕孤身离去，却并未走远，隐居故地。
从此只每年寄去梅花酿，从不打扰。
直至老死，都没能等到阮·梅结束禁忌研究。
很久后，当阮·梅走出研究室，得知祁知慕死去的一瞬，她恍然惊觉——
她的世界里，早已处处都是他的影子……
揭开过往真相才发现，是自己亲手缔造，却又葬送了一切。

第二世，祁知慕是镜流的师父。
“师父，你为何从来不肯多看我一眼？”
“师父，你心里最柔软的地方，为何没有容纳我的位置？”
她日渐靠近，也日渐绝望，逐渐黑化。
直至见证祁知慕的死亡，她才明白——
原来师父心里最柔软的地方，一直都是自己。
“呵呵呵…师父，你骗得徒儿好苦……”

第三世……

祁知慕尊重生命轮回法则，坦然面对每一次死亡。
生来坦荡，死亦从容，不携执念，不染尘哀。
只是，悔恨灼心与抱憾终身的她们，并不这么想。
