A Twisted Love Affair

Because of a sentence from Zhou Luchen.

Shen Jing went to Yonghe Palace to offer incense and pray.

The day was bright and sunny, with a dense crowd. Luckily, Shen Jing's tall figure stood out; otherwise, Xing Fei would have almost lost track of her.

At Zhaotai Gate, Shen Jing offered her incense. She held three sticks of pure fragrance, raised them to her eyebrows in respect to heaven, knelt, and worshipped Buddha.

She blindly believed Zhou Luchen's words, believing them to be effective.

This was her first time setting foot in a temple.

Such a wish was difficult; she wouldn't trouble the deities with it.
