Tales of the Celestial Kingdom (The Celestial Kingdom, #2.5)

by Sue Lynn Tan

Eternity only meant something when you had someone to share it with, not when it would take you from all you loved.

Forever, with the one I loved most. It seemed too much, too greedy to want such a thing. An impossible dream, but that was why dreams were often more enticing than reality.

I would do this for me. I would do this for my child. I would grasp life, plunging into unknown waters, praying I’d make it to shore.

“I love him, I’ll never love another,” I whispered to myself as I placed a protective palm over my stomach. “But I choose us.”

And as long as we lived, there would be hope . . . that I might see my husband again.

*sobs in HEA*

Moreover, Xingyin would not be content to remain here, nor should I attempt to keep her in this gilded cage.

Liwei knew even then

“The only honor I want is to sleep in.”

So real XD

Her lips curled with revulsion. “Even monsters deserve mercy.” Even Demons, I wanted to say.

The Reylo vibes are popping off here lmao

Part of her heart still belonged to the Celestial Prince, and I would pry it free for I wanted it all.

Man on a mission :3

Are you worthy of her? my conscience demanded. Perhaps not, I conceded darkly. But I will be.

I love Wenzhi SO MUCH ughhh

I wanted to say more, to lift her face to mine—to ask for her heart, as I was in danger of losing mine. But this was no time for rash declarations.

Yet I would be no slave to desire, no fool for love—my heart would never rule my head.

SURE
