"Oh Yue... It's pained me to the depths of my forlorn soul! My heart wastes away in my groaning, day by day, each moment that I keep silent from you! I can't bear for even another moment that we drift from one another, whether in thought or word. I truly love you from the depths of my being!"

Shang turned his teary eyes back to Yue. Her skin was like jade.

"Shang..."

Yue reached forward and gently held his face, caressing it lovingly. Her skin was like jade.

"Please forgive me Yue... I- I don't deserve your love after all that I've done."

Shang closed his eyes in regret. He was filled with too much grief to simply "let go." But Yue soon spoke out. Her skin was like jade.

"Shang... I forgive you. Come to me ten more times... And I will forgive you! How can I live without your love, no matter how rotten your flesh and spirit may be! Let our flesh and spirits rot away together! ... At least their rotting would have meaning through our love... Without you... It is all such a paltry existence, devoid of that which I live to bear, whether it be with grief or sorrow!"

Yue embraced him as they began to cry. Her skin was like jade.
