Rebirth of Love: Jiang Ciyou's Counterattack Legend

The Secret of Preparation

Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen took great pains in preparing for this "wedding in the afterlife". The location was chosen in Iceland because the mysterious and dreamy aurora there seemed to be a bridge connecting the present life and the afterlife. Jiang Ciyou personally checked every detail, from the design of the wedding invitation to the layout of the scene, all of which reflected her expectations for this special wedding.

The invitation was made of specially made ice blue paper, printed with the silhouettes of the two, and an old Icelandic saying in silver hot stamping: "Souls are together, transcending time and space". The guest list was even more concise but full of meaning. In addition to family and close friends, there were also strangers who witnessed their love along the way - representatives of residents who had been assisted in the slum renovation plan, partners who fought side by side in Jiang Ciyou's scientific research team, and allies who appreciated each other in Lu Jingchen's business.

The wedding venue was built on an empty ice field. The huge ice archway was gleaming with tiny lights, like the entrance to a fairyland. Ice seats surrounded the venue, and each chair was covered with soft white fur, which could not only withstand the severe cold of the polar regions, but also add a touch of luxury. On both sides of the passage, transparent icicles were placed at regular intervals, which contained precious memories of Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen's past: the wine label of the bar where they first met, the first contract Jiang Ciyou signed when she started her business, and the bandage fragments left after Lu Jingchen was injured while saving her...

For this wedding, Lu Jingchen secretly studied Iceland's traditional customs and folklore. He knew that in local culture, the aurora is regarded as a blessing from the gods, so he climbed up the glacier alone without telling Jiang Ciyou, and prayed to the gods in the cold wind, hoping that this wedding would bring good wishes for their afterlife. Jiang Ciyou devoted herself to studying the process of the wedding ceremony. She hoped that this union across time and space could both follow tradition and show their unique love story.

During the wedding

On the wedding day, as night fell, the aurora arrived as expected, dyeing the entire ice field into a colorful dream world. The guests arrived at the scene one after another in warm and solemn dresses, their faces filled with emotion and blessings.

The pastor is Aida, a transgender person they sponsored. Aida once struggled to survive on the margins of society. It was Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen's charity project that gave him the courage and financial support to start a new life, allowing him to complete the sex reassignment surgery and start a new life. At this moment, Aida, wearing a white robe and a silver crown symbolizing priesthood, stood solemnly and solemnly under the ice arch, waiting for the arrival of the newlyweds.

The witness was Lin Yue, the mistress of the year. Now she has turned over a new leaf and become a psychological counselor. She felt guilty for many years for her past mistakes, but the tolerance and kindness of Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen gave her a chance to turn over a new leaf. She held the ancient code in her hands, her eyes full of blessings for the newlyweds and relief for the past.

Jiang Ciyou wore a white floor-length wedding dress embroidered with delicate snowflake patterns, each of which was inlaid with tiny diamonds, sparkling under the aurora. Her long hair was tied into an elegant bun, embellished with icy hair accessories, like an ice queen descending to the earth. Lu Jingchen wore a black tuxedo, paired with a bow tie and cape of the same color. The cape was embroidered with Jiang Ciyou's favorite thorn pattern, symbolizing the ups and downs and tenacity they had along the way.

When the music started, Jiang Ciyou held Lu Jingchen's arm and walked slowly towards the arch. Their steps were firm and slow, and every step seemed to be stepping on the node of time, looking back at every bit of the past. The ice under their feet made a slight creaking sound, as if playing a love movement for them.

Walking in front of the pastor, Lu Jingchen tightly held Jiang Ciyou's hand, as if he was afraid that she would disappear in the next second. Ada opened the ceremony in a gentle and solemn voice: "Under this mysterious aurora, on this ice field that spans time and space, we gather here to witness the spiritual appointment between Mr. Lu Jingchen and Ms. Jiang Ciyou."

Then, it was the turn of the newlyweds to take their vows. Lu Jingchen stared into Jiang Ciyou's eyes and said affectionately, "If there is an afterlife, I would like to be your best man at your wedding and watch you marry someone better, but that person must love you more than I do. Because you deserve all the beauty in this world, I only wish to be by your side to protect your happiness, even if it's just watching silently." His voice trembled slightly, and tears flashed in his eyes, which was a deep attachment to the love of this life, and also an expectation for the unknown afterlife.

Jiang Ciyou's eyes were filled with tears, but she interrupted him firmly: "No, I don't want a best man in the next life. I want to wait for you by the Naihe Bridge and pour Mengpo soup into the Wangchuan River, so that we can remember each other in all our lives. No matter how many difficulties and obstacles we encounter, I only want to walk hand in hand with you. You are my true love in this life, and my only one in the next life."

The guests were all moved, some wept softly, some wiped the tears from their eyes silently. This oath, transcending the boundaries of time and space, touched the softest corner of everyone's heart.

Warmth beyond the ceremony

During the ring exchange, Lu Jingchen took out two special rings. The rings were made of ancient meteorite iron, which is said to come from distant stars, carrying the mysterious power of the universe and protecting the soul of the wearer. The rings were inlaid with blue ice crystal gems, which Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen accidentally found in an ice cave in Iceland. They carved it into a heart shape, symbolizing their pure and indestructible love.

The moment the ring was put on, the aurora seemed to become more brilliant, as if it was the response of the gods to their vows. Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen embraced and kissed each other. In this cold polar region, their kiss was so hot that it seemed to melt each other and merge into the depths of each other's souls.

At dinner time, a warm bonfire was lit on the ice field. The guests sat together, sharing food and laughter. The table was filled with Icelandic specialties: fresh grilled salmon, fragrant lamb soup, soft and sticky rye bread... and the "love dessert" specially prepared by Jiang Ciyou for everyone - a cake made of white chocolate and blueberries, the shape of the cake is the silhouette of two people hugging under the aurora.

Lu Jingchen stood up and toasted the guests: "Thank you all for coming all the way to this ice field today to witness this special moment between Ciyou and me. We have experienced too many ups and downs in this life, but it is because of your company and support that we can come this far. May this love that transcends time and space also bring you warmth and strength."

Jiang Ciyou also stood up, her eyes swept over every guest: "When preparing for this wedding, I reviewed the journey we have taken. All the pain and laughter have become the most precious treasures at this moment. I hope everyone can cherish the people around them and bravely pursue their own happiness, just like us, no matter how fate teases us, we will never give up."

Around the bonfire, people shared the love story of Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen. The little girl who was once helped has now grown up. She said with tears in her eyes: "When I was living on the streets, it was Sister Jiang who gave me a warm home and gave me the opportunity to go to school. Seeing her happy now, I am really happy for her. She is my role model."

A research partner also expressed deep emotion: "We have all witnessed Dr. Jiang's persistence and tenacity in her research. And Mr. Lu has been silently supporting her. Their love makes us understand that career and love are not mutually exclusive. As long as there is love in your heart, you can create miracles."

Late at night, the guests returned to the warm tents to rest, but Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen were reluctant to leave the campfire. They held hands, lay on the ice, and looked up at the aurora in the sky.

"Tell me, can we really remember each other in the next life?" Jiang Ciyou asked softly.

Lu Jingchen held her hand tightly and answered gently: "I definitely will. Even if I forget the whole world, I will never forget you. This aurora is our promise. It will guide us to find each other."

Under this dreamlike aurora, they were immersed in their vision of the afterlife until they felt sleepy and returned to the tent leaning against each other. This wedding in a parallel time and space was not only the sublimation of their love, but also a beautiful wish for the future. No matter what the afterlife was like, their hearts were tightly connected and would never be separated.
