If you make a wish upon a star in the sky, any wish will come true.

There exist in this world a set of six daggers that carry a terrible curse: the ability to inflict a death beyond time. Those under the daggers' curse shall reincarnate without end, never able to know happiness and always drawn to die once more by the dagger. This is the story of "Raine" and "Marie", two souls bound by the daggers' curse to kill one another, over and over again.... more>>

France, 1243. Lapis Lazuli Castle is the name of an insignificant relay fort nestled away in a forest east of Carcassonne. Its ruler, Count Geoffroy, and his only daughter, Marie, are both believed to be insane. The root cause of their shared madness is the mysterious disappearance of Geoffroy's wife three years ago, which caused Geoffroy to grow detached from humanity and cast Marie into a deep depression. After three years of wandering in a state halfway to nonexistence, Marie works up the nerve to ask her chief bodyguard, Sir Raine, to investigate her mother's death, confiding that on the night of her mother's disappearance, she had witnessed something impossible. However, her investigation only prompts a new tragedy.

The French-German border, 1916. As World War I rages on, Raine and Marie's latest reincarnations live the life of a sub-lieutenant in the French army and a medic with the Red Cross, respectively. The two lovers are reunited at the site of the Battle of Verdun, but no sooner have they met then Raine finds himself faced with a barrage of impossible circumstances. An enemy soldier's head suddenly vanishes, right before his eyes. One of his subordinates reports the same thing happening to an ally. Four more headless bodies vanish from a flooded bunker in the minute he looks away. These baffling events are a prelude to the return of their old tragedy.

Northern Hokkaido, 1989. Kimiyo, age eighteen, is already dying, an inoperable tumor in her hypothalamus leaving her with less than a year to live. Refusing to despair in the face of her tragic circumstances, she spends her remaining days with her friends at "The Library at the End of the World", a private library so called due to its isolated nature. One day, a man named Kito approaches her out of the blue, regaling her with a story about a set of cursed daggers, knights in the 13th century, and the two of them being cursed, fated lovers. Naturally, Kimiyo is intensely skeptical, but the events that come next don't require her to believe in them.

Arriving at the scene of these three tragedies is Snowy, an enigmatic figure of indeterminate gender who claims to be "a detective charged with managing the world's chaos". <<less

The first time Hu Die met Jing Yu, he thought she was a world-weary girl who committed su*cide.

The second time they met, he told Hu Die indifferently: “If you jump down again today, I’m not saving you again.”

Later, she told him: “Jing Yu, don’t feel sorry for me.”

Later, Jing Yu returned to the arena and won the glory that belonged to him.

Under the flashing lights, he suddenly remembered the girl’s voice, and said a nonsensical remark in front of thousands of people.

——

In the martial world, she is a famous chivalrous heroine, and he is an elusive broker;

In the palace, she is the unruly youngest daughter of a general, while he is the crown prince walking on thin ice.

1.

Young Miss Jiang Kui of the General’s Estate, childhood name Little Full, pretends to be a delicate beauty during the day, but goes out killing bad guys at night.

Until the day a marriage contract ties her to the weak Crown Prince Xie Wuyan.

On their wedding night, the moment her husband lifts her red bridal veil, she presses a sword against him and chuckles: “Touch me and you die.”

The young husband lies back with closed eyes: “I’m at my wife’s mercy.”

She doesn’t notice his ears turning red amidst his disheveled hair.

2.

Crown Prince Xie Kang, courtesy name Wuyan, is rumored by all to be a sickly prince who won’t live past his coming-of-age ceremony.

Yet few know he is also the untraceable broker in the martial world, and fewer still know the woman who has captured his heart is a famous female heroine.

The day after his wedding, a little eunuch reports to him that the Crown Princess sneaked out of the palace at night to secretly meet someone at the bookstore in the East Tower.

Prince Xie waves his hand unconcernedly with a faint smile.

That night at the East Tower’s bookstore, the famous broker with quite a reputation in the martial world rests his chin on his folded hands as he gently asks the female heroine across the bamboo screen: “What do you think… of Xie Kang as a person?”

3.

Jiang Kui never thought the husband she deemed useless would one day fight through thousands of soldiers and horses to come to her.

He holds her bloodied body in his arms, takes her spear, stands tall amidst the storm of swords, and whispers tenderly in her ear: “My wife, it’s me.”

It’s you, she thinks hazily. It was you I met at Qujiang, you who laughed at me in the bookstore, you who drank with me, you who held me in the snowstorm.

Of the vast world, the one who came for me is you. It has always been you. <<less

On the 5th of March 2002, he wore a white shirt with tattered sleeves and a pair of old, ash grey trousers as he came running into my home. It was evening and rays from the setting sun filtered through the window at an oblique angle, casting dark shadows on his left cheek. He stood ferociously before my family’s dining table. My father and I were in the middle of eating when he suddenly bellowed, “Let’s get married!”

That day, he received a stern beating from my father. He didn’t retaliate and was beaten black and blue, his face all swollen.

That year, I was 21, and without any hesitation, I married him.

Because when he looked at me, nothing else mattered. It was as though he was drowning, and only I could save him. <<less

The day I first set foot in this school, I saw Himegi-san and instantly felt what many describe as 'love at first sight.'

Being in the same class as her, getting excited, getting carried away by my emotions, writing a love letter without much thought, calling her out to the empty classroom after school——and as expected, only to be rejected within a mere ten seconds.

Looking back now, what chances did I really think I had?

As I returned home with a heavy heart, I was greeted by a sight I couldn't believe——Touka Himegi in a wedding dress!

To my surprise, she claimed to be Himegi-san from six years into the future, and in that timeline, she was my wife.

She apparently has some kind of purpose coming to this timeline—— <<less
