Summary: Shen Wei doesn't see hope in the plum blossoms.


It's taken stealing Kunlun's life from him for Wei—Shen Wei, now, and the very sound of his name hurts but it is a hurt that he deserves; a reminder, a warning, a punishment—to experience human-like moments of beauty in a hut surrounded by plum blossoms.

To humans, they symbolise hope.

To Shen Wei, they will forever signify mourning.

He goes back every year. He goes back and he makes himself relive it all; Shen San kissing him and Shen San dying in his arms.

Loving Kunlun is woven deep into his own being. He'll never let himself meet him again.
