The waters of River Lethe wash away passion,
The Lethe's divine waters made them forget three years, but not a lifetime.

One realm is the treacherous Eastern Palace,
where she is a trapped crown princess, surrounded by deadly perils while he watches indifferently;
The other is the boundless freedom of desert sands,
where she was the beloved ninth princess of Xiliang, and he was her Gu Xiaowu, who slew the White-Eyed Wolf King for her, caught her a hundred fireflies, and held her a grand wedding...
Which world is real, and which is illusion?

Frozen memories ultimately shatter their chains, separated by bone-deep devotion and blood-soaked vengeance.
Past vows now cut like knives, leaving only ashes where a heart once burned.
For them both, they would rather this life be but a dream.

For all lifetimes, I shall forget you utterly!
