She was as beautiful as a dream.
Every night, she came to him in his dreams.
There was no need to elaborate on that longing, those restless nights, that sweetness and sorrow.
"She was like a dream, returning every night as promised." Eight words said it all.
Jiang Wang couldn't understand that feeling.
