What is the meaning of life?
Countless people have pondered this question; some are fearful, some are bewildered. Fear and bewilderment lead to losing the courage to continue thinking, ultimately numbing themselves to stop the thoughts, all the while glorifying it as living in the moment is the true essence.
Pei Mingcui no longer numbed herself because in this scene, this place, even though it could transform countless thoughts into numerous causes and conditions, it could also quickly liberate an awakened person.
Li Xuanba couldn't escape either.
He was not a foolish person.
He was obsessed because he was always entangled with that ultimate point of meaning, but when Pei Mingcui cut off this final meaning, the obsession disappeared, and dread surged into his mind like a tide.
The dynasty was gone, the lover was gone, he was gone; everything seemed to be both nonexistent and existent.
If Pei Mingcui were to leave, even if he existed, for what would he exist?
