Netherworld City.

Early morning.

With a pitter-patter, a rain that was neither too small nor too large began to fall within the Netherworld City.

Upon opening the window and looking at the rain falling outside, Tang Jing murmured to herself, "It's already been seven days."

Ever since Chen Hao and Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body left, the first thing she did upon waking up each day was count how many days they had been gone, and then estimate how many more days it would be until they returned.

After a long while, as the rain continued and Tang Jing had watched it for quite some time, her heart grew heavy with melancholy.

A couple of nights ago, she had snuck out alone to the night market within the Netherworld City. She stopped in front of a candy store and bought a "Heartfelt" lollipop.

To her disappointment, soon after she gripped the lollipop, it morphed into Chen Hao's likeness again.

She thought she could let go of Chen Hao, to only consider him a friend. However, she found she couldn't do it.

To her, liking someone was like the rain that was falling outside, troublesome.

"Knock, knock, knock!" Just then, the sound of knocking erupted.

"Huashan, I'm not hungry, you go ahead and have breakfast," Tang Jing called back toward the door.

After Qian Feng's seventh-day memorial service finished, Lin Huashan moved back to the Zhao Family, and so the two of close age quickly hit it off.

She noticed that out of every ten sentences Lin Huashan spoke, at least one would mention Chen Hao.

She envied Lin Huashan.

Because she could feel that Lin Huashan's liking for Chen Hao was different from her own.

Lin Huashan's liking for Chen Hao was simply heartfelt; whereas her own liking had unknowingly become etched into her heart. Even if time could wash away everything, it couldn't wash away the name etched into her heart.

"It's me!" A deep and icy voice responded, the person knocking on the door was not Lin Huashan, but Zhao Chong!

Startled, Tang Jing promptly got up to open the door.

"Zhao Chong, what brings you here?"

Zhao Chong grunted in affirmation, "I remember we had an agreement last time that when it rained, I would take you to a place."

Suddenly, Tang Jing's eyes dimmed. She did remember, she had been thinking about it just before, but for some reason, hesitation suddenly swelled within her.

"If you don't wish to go, then it's alright."

"Zhao Chong, can you tell me if my past life was related to Chen Hao's past life?" Tang Jing asked.

Zhao Chong's brows furrowed slightly, "Why ask this?"

"Intuition!" Tang Jing explained, "When I first met Yuqiao, I always felt she didn't quite like me; then I encountered Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body, and she was even more hostile towards me, so I guessed."

Tang Jing spoke softer and softer, her cheeks reddening with embarrassment, feeling her speculation was somewhat far-fetched.

"Indeed, it is related to Ye Heng," Zhao Chong said. Unlike with Ye Yuqiao, he could completely regard Ye Heng and Chen Hao as different individuals.

After a brief silence and seeing that Tang Jing had no response, Zhao Chong asked again, "Do you still want to go to that place?"

"I do."

..

..

Half an hour later.

Zhao Chong brought Tang Jing to the front of Samsara Path.

Seeing Zhao Chong had arrived, the soldiers guarding the Samsara Path immediately made the Yin Souls awaiting reincarnation step aside.

"This is the Fate Stone!" Zhao Chong pointed to a stone in front of the Samsara Path and said.

Twenty years ago, after the Ghost King escaped through the Gate of the Nether King, the Marriage Stone was accidentally pushed into the Samsara Path by the fleeing evil spirits and fierce ghosts.

It wasn't until two years ago that Ye Yuqiao and Chen Hao, along with their companions, found the stone on a trip to Mount Matchmaker.

Several months ago, after Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body returned to her position as the Nether King, she sent people to the mortal world to bring the Marriage Stone back to the entrance of the Samsara Path.

"The Marriage Stone!" Tang Jing curiously gazed at the stone radiating light, "This Marriage Stone is what we in the mortal world call the Three-Life Stone, right?"

Zhao Chong nodded slightly, "Yes! When you get close to this Marriage Stone, you can learn about your past life, present life, and future life, as well as the times of your birth and death."

Tang Jing's brows furrowed slightly.

"Come closer," Zhao Chong said, "We can't occupy too much time. Each moment we use here, a mother about to give birth in the mortal world will have to endure another minute of pain."

Hearing Zhao Chong say this, Tang Jing immediately approached the Marriage Stone. Then on the stone, she saw the faces of her lovers from all three lives, as well as the outcomes of their fates.

After looking, Tang Jing's body began to tremble. After a pause, she suddenly turned and fled.

Her three lives' love was related to just one person, and that person was Chen Hao.

In her past life, her connection to Chen Hao was merely a passing fate; they had never met face to face, yet she could not stop thinking about that person she had never met.

In her present life, she and Chen Hao were fated to meet but destined to miss each other, as Chen Hao had died too soon.

And in her future life, she and Chen Hao would ultimately consummate their relationship.

...

...

After coming out of Hell, Tang Jing rushed back to her room in the Zhao Residence and collapsed on the bed, weeping uncontrollably.

Not long after, Lin Huashan entered her room. Seeing her in such grief, Lin Huashan hurriedly asked, "Sister Tang Jing, why are you crying?"

It took a while before Tang Jing sat up, wiping her tears as she said, "I miss my brother. It's been nearly two years since I've seen him!"

Lin Huashan sighed deeply, then sat beside Tang Jing, with a morose expression, said, "I haven't seen my father and mother for two years either. At least you can still see your brother, but I will never be able to see my parents again."

Seeing Lin Huashan about to cry, Tang Jing quickly took her hand and said, "Let's not talk about these sad matters, come, go change your clothes, and later we can go for a walk in the streets."

"Alright!" Lin Huashan agreed happily.

When Lin Huashan had left, not much later, Zhao Chong appeared at the door.

"In truth, I've been hesitating whether or not to let you see the Marriage Stone."

"Zhao Chong, let's not talk about this, it makes me sad. Huashan will come over soon, and I don't want her to know about this."

Zhao Chong responded with a "Hmm," then left.

"Zhao Chong!" Tang Jing suddenly called out to Zhao Chong again.

Zhao Chong halted his steps.

"One of these days, when you're free, could you tell me about my past life?"

Zhao Chong turned around and nodded slightly, "Okay."

After hesitating for a moment, Zhao Chong spoke again, asking, "Tang Jing, do you hate Yuqiao?"

"Why should I hate Yuqiao?"

"That's good!" Zhao Chong gave an awkward smile and turned to leave again.

Once Zhao Chong had gone far away, Tang Jing crawled back onto the bed to weep again. She remembered something Chen Hao had once told her, that he and Ye Yuqiao would be together for eternity.

That meant Chen Hao would not have a future life.

Thus, in her future life, she would never meet Chen Hao.

Considering how she had finally consummated their relationship after enduring three lifetimes, it was inevitable that she harbored some resentment in her heart.
