Endless Hate
This is a story about deep hatred and love, a 'chase love' that leads to a tragic ending.
Lou Yanxu believed her love for Xu Congjing was deep and unforgettable. However, her devotion was trampled under his feet.
They grew up together. He once crowned her hair and took beatings for her. Even when she was forced to marry someone else, he changed his identity to stay by her side, protecting and cherishing her.
Feeling indebted, she risked half her life to divorce him.
But he, abandoning his usual gentle demeanor, watched her humiliation with cold eyes and set a wedding date to marry a noble daughter.
Tears blurring her vision, Lou Yanxu, holding their token of love, went to ask him why.
Xu Congjing cornered her, kissing her fiercely and sneeringly, "It was all a joke, how can you be so naive to believe it?"
Her blood ran cold.
The wedding was set for a month later, yet Xu Congjing refused to let her go, keeping her confined in his estate.
That night, with tears streaming down, Lou Yanxu tremblingly asked him what it would take for him to free her.
Under the dim lamplight, his stern face was illuminated. The grip on her jaw was so strong it threatened to crush her bone. "I want you to taste every bitterness, to be entangled with me until death this lifetime."
It turned out, his hatred was immense. He stubbornly believed she had harmed his sister.
He hated her heartlessness and her deception, so he meticulously planned to trample on her feelings and cut off her escape routes.
They had known each other for over a decade, yet in his heart, she was so full of malicious intent.
The jade pendant shattered on the ground, just like her heart.
Half a month later, while trying to escape, Lou Yanxu was engulfed by a burst of flames before Xu Congjing's eyes.
That day, clutching their token of love, he staggered and fell down the stairs in a daze.
Only then did he realize—her entire devotion was genuine; she had never wronged him.
Panicked, he finally understood what it meant to have his heart gouged out, to regret beyond measure.
His remaining life would be spent atoning.

《Hate Until Return Time》
Everyone in Chang'an knew that the Qu and Wei families had an agreement for three generations of children to intermarry.
From the time she could remember, Qu Qingwu knew she was destined to marry Wei Yunsu.
She was deeply in love with Wei Yunsu.
She personally cooked for him, stitched his shoes, made him sachets, and treated him with all her heart.
Yet, she also hated him deeply.
As the Qu family declined, her parents, fearing they might displease him, forced her to cater to his preferences and like only what he liked, wear only what he liked to wear. If he wanted to see her, she had to be available at a moment's notice.
Controlled like a puppet, she had long forgotten her own appearance, becoming a mere reflection of him.
On the night of the full moon, her confinement ended, and in a fit of anger, she did the most outrageous thing of her life.
She decided to elope with another man.
However, before she could reach the city gates, Wei Yunsu caught her.
This incident caused him to lose face.
----------
After marriage, I, Wei Yunsu, hated her to the bone. He treated her gifts as worthless trash and overturned any food she cooked.
He never showed her tenderness in the bridal chamber, nor did he spare her face in front of outsiders.
On a certain birthday, she made him a bowl of longevity noodles, which he flung to the ground, shattering it.
He cornered her against the wall, sneering, "The way you dress up to please others truly disgusts me!"
Her heart ached, and she bit her lip, lowering her head to let a tear fall.
At the birthday banquet, she hid behind a bush of flowers and overheard someone asking when he planned to divorce her.
He uttered only one sentence, "She owes me. We will never be through until she is dead."
She immediately collapsed to the ground, feeling deathly cold.
Another full moon night, Qu Qingwu, alone, made her way to the city gates.
This time, she finally escaped.
From now on, she would be her own person.
----------
Wei Yunsu had looked forward to marrying Qu Qingwu.
He had anticipated a harmonious life together, growing old side by side.
He had long known that she had no affection for him, merely acting to please him under her parents' orders.
But as long as she was willing to play along, he vowed to respect her, love her, pour his heart into her, and protect her for a lifetime of peace and security.
However, he never imagined that Qu Qingwu, always so obedient, would dare to elope with another man!
His hair stood on end in fury, and with a marriage contract, he forced her back into his residence.
After marriage, she was respectful and gentle, attending to every detail meticulously, yet everything she did served as a constant reminder that her heart belonged to someone else.
He was jealous, he was enraged, and he wanted her to love him.
If she wouldn't love him, then they would torment each other, forever locked in a bitter struggle.
But he did not get his wish.
She fled, and this time, he could not find her.
Later, he heard people gossiping. Wei Yunsu had gone mad, crying out daily at the city gates, begging his wife to come home.
