As her existence dimmed, a desperate wish flickered through her fading consciousness: a second chance to choose him. Reborn with purpose, Liu Qi seized her redemption. She threw her arms around Shen Nanxiao, tears streaming as she confessed what her first life had cost her to learn. "Don't leave me. I don't hate you—I like you." His shock melted into fierce devotion as he pulled her closer, his whispered promise final and absolute: "You've just lost the chance to leave."
