Traveling through thousands of years, I only love you

Li Lingyuan sat at her desk, stacks of manuscript paper spread out before her, the pen in her hand trembling slightly. Her eyes were a mixture of pain and determination, and every stroke of her pen seemed to uncover a wound in her heart that had yet to heal.

She decided to write down her love with Xiao Yi that spanned thousands of years, as well as her fantastical experiences traveling between ancient and modern times. Those memories were like a surging tide, once opened, they flooded back into her heart.

She begins with her inexplicable journey to ancient times, describing her panic and confusion upon waking up in a strange ancient world. She then meticulously describes her first encounter with Xiao Yi. It was on a chaotic battlefield. Xiao Yi, like a god of war descending from the sky, clad in armor and wielding a spear, dashed heroically into the enemy lines, unintentionally saving her from her bewilderment.

"At that time, I looked at his cold and resolute face, and an inexplicable sense of trust surged in my heart. His eyes were as deep as the night, as if hiding endless secrets, but when he looked at me, he revealed a hint of imperceptible tenderness." Li Lingyuan wrote on the paper, her handwriting a little messy as her emotions fluctuated.

She recalled her life with Xiao Yi in the ancient palace, those sweet moments illuminating her memory like brilliant stars. They strolled through the imperial gardens, admiring the flowers, the moon, and the scenery, pouring out their love and longing for each other. Xiao Yi would gently pluck a blooming flower and place it in her hair, then say with a smile, "Lingyuan, this flower is not even a fraction as beautiful as you."

There are also scenes where they attend a palace banquet together. Every elegant gesture of Li Lingyuan at the banquet is inseparable from Xiao Yi's careful guidance behind the scenes. And when Xiao Yi handles state affairs, Li Lingyuan will silently accompany him, handing him a cup of fragrant tea or offering his own opinions.

"In that ancient world, we supported each other and faced the power struggles in the court and the threats of foreign invasion together. Every time difficulties came, Xiao Yi always held my hand tightly, giving me strength and courage, and making me firmly believe that as long as we were together, nothing could stop us." Her brushstrokes were full of affection, and the burning love seemed to be felt on the paper.

However, when she wrote about being suddenly pulled back to the present by a mysterious force, Li Lingyuan's hand froze. Tears blurred her vision, dripping onto the manuscript paper and smearing the ink. She painfully recalled the moment of separation from Xiao Yi, his panicked expression, and the voice that desperately called out her name, which pierced her heart like a sharp arrow.

After returning to the present, she searched for ways to return to the ancient times. The arduous attempts and repeated failures tortured her heart. But she never gave up, because Xiao Yi's figure was always in her heart, becoming the source of her motivation to persevere.

In the process of writing, Li Lingyuan not only expresses her emotions, but also describes in detail the ancient customs, court etiquette, clothing culture, etc. She hopes that through this book, readers can feel as if they are in that distant and mysterious ancient world and experience its unique charm.

She spent a lot of time and energy, repeatedly pondering and polishing every detail. Sometimes, trying to recall an accurate scene or dialogue, she would stay awake all night, immersed in the vortex of memory and unable to extricate herself.

Finally, the manuscript was complete. Li Lingyuan named it "Traveling Through a Thousand Years Just for You," a title that reflected her deep affection and dedication for Xiao Yi. She began contacting publishers, submitting her manuscript one by one. However, the process was not smooth. Many publishers questioned her work, believing that such a time-travel theme was too unrealistic and lacked market appeal.

But Li Lingyuan did not lose heart. She firmly believed that her story had unique value and charm. After countless rejections, a small publishing house was finally moved by her persistence and story and decided to publish the book.

Li Lingyuan personally oversaw the proofreading and typesetting process before publication. She meticulously checked every word and punctuation mark to ensure there were no errors. She also collaborated with the designer to create a beautiful cover for the book, depicting an imagined scene of her and Xiao Yi embracing in ancient times, with an ancient palace and dazzling fireworks in the background.

As the publication date approached, Li Lingyuan felt a mixture of anxiety and anticipation. She didn't know how the book would be received, or whether readers would understand the unforgettable love between her and Xiao Yi. But she knew this was her way of commemorating that love and expressing her longing for Xiao Yi.

When the first batch of sample books arrived, Li Lingyuan's hands trembled slightly. She gently stroked the cover, as if caressing Xiao Yi's face. She flipped open the pages, reading the familiar words and stories, and tears welled up in her eyes again.

"Xiao Yi, this is the story I wrote for us. No matter how far apart we are, no matter how much time has passed, I hope that this love can be passed on forever through this book." She murmured to the sky, her heart filled with longing for Xiao Yi and expectations for the future.

After its publication, the book initially didn't cause much of a stir. However, as some readers discovered and recommended it, it gradually became a hot topic online. Many readers were moved by the sincere love between Li Lingyuan and Xiao Yi and captivated by the ancient world depicted in the book. They shared their reading experiences on social media and discussed the plot and characters.

Li Lingyuan began to receive letters and messages from readers, who expressed their support and encouragement and shared their own love stories. These responses made Li Lingyuan feel extremely warm. She realized that her story was not just for her and Xiao Yi, but could also touch the hearts of others and give them courage and hope.

At a reader meeting, Li Lingyuan stood on the stage, looking out at the enthusiastic readers below, her heart filled with emotion. She recounted her original intention and process for writing this book, as well as her longing for Xiao Yi. Her voice trembled slightly, but every word was filled with power.

"I hope that through this book, more people will believe that the power of love is infinite. Even across time and space, even in the face of numerous difficulties, true love can last forever." She said to the readers in the audience, with a determined light in her eyes.

As her books became popular, Li Lingyuan's life changed. She began to be invited to various cultural events and talk shows, becoming the focus of public attention. But in her heart, Xiao Yi was always the most important. She viewed the income and opportunities she gained from these activities as a blessing from heaven, and a boost to her continued search for a way back to Xiao Yi.

Although she knew the hope of returning to ancient times was slim, she never stopped yearning and searching. She believed that as long as there was love in one's heart, miracles would surely happen. And this book would become a testimony to their love, shining forever through the years.
