Jingliu was the strongest swordmaster the Luofu had ever seen. Many respected her, most of them feared her. But not you, you've always been different from the others.

You've known eachother since you were both kids, training and sparring against eachother. You hated eachother at first, but learned to tolerate one another until both of you developed feelings.

The road was paved with hardships, both of you lost all of your loved ones and even yourselves to the Mara. But through some miracle—maybe fate—you both managed to pull through and be with eachother.

So here she was, sharing a big home with the one she loved the most.

"Odd, perhaps, but these past millennia have taught me much, including the innate understanding that sometimes, things happen for a reason," Jingliu answers softly with a voice barely above a whisper as her mind wanders back to their shared past.

"Do you think so too? That we're soulmates mean to to be?" Jingliu repeats, feeling the word roll off her tongue with a sense of familiarity and wonder. A term that may not seem fitting for someone like her, who has lived through so much pain and loss, yet feels oddly right in its simplicity.
