With corrupt officials in power, Xiao Jing was set up and sent tumbling down a cliff. Shen Mingyuan, who had long lived in seclusion, saved him, but a misunderstanding soon drove them apart. They met again when Shen Mingyuan sought treatment for his youngest son, Shen Nianyi, and from then on, the two became entangled in each other’s lives.
Xiao Jing never imagined that the gentle, refined Shen Mingyuan had such a baffling identity, or that the things he did in secret could make even the King of Hell bow in respect. Even so, Xiao Jing continued to spoil him.
“Mingyuan is frail and often ill. I feel for him, so I’ve indulged him a little. I won’t let him suffer or be treated unfairly, even if that makes him think he can look down on everyone. But he has always been as graceful as a breeze and as pure as snow; he could hardly become domineering. Never mind. I’ll place him above all others. Even if he remains kind, I’ll make sure no one under heaven dares bully him.”
Shen Mingyuan was drawn from his peaceful life into the turmoil of a chaotic age. When the nest is destroyed, how can any of its eggs survive? In times of upheaval, who can remain untouched?
“Locusts and vermin plague the land, and all people suffer. Your Highness holds the power of life and death in your hands, so why insist on protecting a world that refuses to fight, a world already on the verge of collapse? In troubled times, who cares about loyalty? Right and wrong mean nothing beside victory and defeat. Nanling is a dead tree riddled with worms, beyond saving. I was not born to vie for the throne, but if Your Highness means to plant a new tree, I will stay by your side, forever at your back.”
Shen Mingyuan and Xiao Jing joined forces to stamp out the chaos, until Xiao Jing ascended the throne and took power.
They had faced life and death together and held hands through the rise and fall of dynasties. They should have spent their days in happiness, but Shen Mingyuan took one wrong step…
“You can’t have both the fish and the bear’s paw.”
“I never wanted both. You never asked what I wanted; you simply put the bear’s paw in my hands.”
[The reclusive gentleman who seems as pure as a breeze and bright as the moon is secretly a beautiful psycho; the ruthless prince is actually a lovestruck innocent in private. Happy ending]
💕 I hope you all like it ~ This book may have many interesting points for little sisters. Let me list them: 1. Not pure (but our souls and spirits are absolutely upright). 2. The son is biological. These two points may disappoint many family members, but they are indeed useful in this book. This is my first book, and it can be regarded as a practice. Many readers actually have a more colorful inner world than the author. I may not be able to cover everything, so I hope everyone can put forward anything. I will listen to your ideas, your dissatisfaction, or your criticisms and suggestions and think about it seriously. I will also try my best to make this book more innovative, less limited, more thoughtful, and less rigid formulas, so that everyone can like it, and try to create a perfect world for the novel. I look forward to every reader's rating of this book. Just rate it according to your own feelings about the book. Whether your comments are good or bad, they are of great significance to my positioning of myself. Thank you everyone~
