Never a Happy Ending

*No misunderstandings, no evil stepsister and no rape….

"NO."

"My soul will never be at peace seeing you in pain," Helplessly he squeezed her against his chest, not allowing her to leave him alone in this world. "Promise me you will give yourself another chance and will move on in life. Promise me."

She knew her death will forever traumatise him, forcing him to live for the sake of spending instead of living. But life is a precious gift, and it should be lived at a day-- not be drowned in the memories of a dead a person.

"P-Promise me....."

He raised her trembling hands and placed a kiss. Tears ran from his unblinking eyes, "I Promise......" her fragile human heart beat one last time, her earthly body stayed still in his arms, "....NOT." He finished, hugged her lifeless body.

'Open your heart once again and giving yourself another chance in love is only for the bravest. Not anyone can mutter the courage to do as we have heard love happens only once.'

It's the story of Lu Xion, where his heart will always belong to her only love- Meiying- who died tragically on the day of their marriage. Her death left a gaping hole in his heart. He was overwhelmed in the memories of his beloved Ying and could still talk to her.

Imagination? Hallucination? Reality? Sprit connection? Nobody knows.

It's the story of Ariel, a figure skater by profession who dreams of representing his country in olympics and fulfil the dreams of the people she adores.

For her, love is an illusion. Love is fake. It's the word people used to mask their desires, lust and greed. LOVE DOESN'T EXIST.

However, her firm opinion on the concept of love will be shaken by Xion's unparalleled love for his deceased fiancee. It will force her to reconsider the idea of love and discover it. Feel it. Live it once.
Is it the same as how it's described in movies and books? Or is it different? If it brings pain, then why do people still fall in love and call it beautiful?

What will happen when she would find herself tangled in the mess of forbidden love? In love with Xion!

Complicated, right? He wants to live in the memories of his beloved and had the door to his heart closed. But unknowingly he not only changed Ariel's opinion but made her fall for him.

How does this two opposites will make a love story? Maybe they will not. Maybe they will?
What will happen when the tangled mess of their pasts will open, revealing shocking secrets?
Will it be a love story with a happy ending or......?

Say tuned for this new story by your very own dream_ash.
