In this world, across two lifetimes, two entire existences, she loved only him. No one else. She didn't even care if she loved herself anymore, had stopped caring about her own wellbeing, but she loved Mu Yunchen with every fiber of her being, every cell, every breath.
She tapped his contact, the familiar name appearing on screen: Third Master.
The phone rang once.
Twice.
Then.....
"The number you have dialed is currently unavailable. Please try again later....."
She froze, the automated voice cutting through her like a shard of ice sliding between her ribs.
Unavailable?
Her breath caught in her throat, strangling there. Mu Yunchen never turned his phone off. Not once in all the years she'd known him across two lifetimes. Not during crucial negotiations, not during emergency board meetings, not during their worst arguments, even when he was furious with her, even when they weren't speaking, his phone was always, always on.
