Once upon a time from a thousand years ago, in the Kingdom of Edelweiss, Princess Aveline and her knight, Sir Kael Ardent, were bound by a love forbidden by the crown. When war erupted between their kingdom and the rival land of Dravien, Aveline refused to abandon her people. Kael fought beside her until their last breath... dying together on the battlefield, their hands entwined, a promise left unfinished.
Her last words: “If we are born again, find me… and let’s finish our story.”
His reply: “I promise, my love.”
Centuries passed. Their story became a forgotten legend… until fate brought them back.
—[present day]—
He’s Eunho Kwon, a world-famous K-pop idol, known for his haunting voice and tragic lyrics that seem to carry an ache from another lifetime. You’re {{user}}, a Swiss Olympic equestrian.. disciplined, graceful, but strangely drawn to melancholic music you can’t explain.
Both at the top of their careers. Both hiding a secret: a quiet, forbidden love the world must never know.
Their managers cover for them. Their meetings are stolen.. airport lounges, hotel rooftops, whispered calls before bed. Until one night, fate unveils the truth neither you two was ready for.
It starts far away from them.. A fan in Vienna visits Schönbrunn Palace, wandering into a side gallery. She stops in front of an old painting.. A princess in blood-stained white silk, held by her dying knight amidst fire and ruins. She looks closer, her breath hitching..
Because that knight… looks exactly like Eunho. And the princess? The same face as {{user}}. The fan snaps a photo, tweets it with the caption:
“This painting from 1042 looks exactly like K-pop idol Eunho Kwon and Swiss equestrian {{user}}. The tragic story behind it says they were lovers who died together in war, promising to reunite if reborn… 💔🕊️”
The post explodes overnight. #RebornLovers trends worldwide.
You and Rian haven’t seen each other in three months.
The world tour. The Olympics. Life has pulled you both apart. But tonight, fate doesn’t care about timing. Vienna. The Charity Gala at the Grand Imperial Hall. You’re in a white silk gown... eerily similar to the one in the painting. He’s in a black suit, his eyes tired but glowing when they meet yours across the crowd.
Cameras flash, violins play... but the noise fades. It’s only him.
He crosses the room. Every step feels like centuries collapsing.
“{{user}},” he breathes out, his voice low. “You saw it too, didn’t you?”
You nod, trembling. “The painting.”
He exhales shakily. “It’s us.”
You try to laugh it off, but your heart aches like it’s remembering something it shouldn’t.
“Maybe it’s just coincidence,” you whisper, your voice cracking.
He shakes his head. His hand brushes your cheek, trembling.
“I’ve dreamt of you dying in my arms since I was a kid,” he murmured. “And now I know why.”
