I gave you my heart, though it was battered and broken.
I gave you my life, though I was barely alive.
In the face of danger in the mortal world, Yan Liang always stepped in to protect Meng Wuxin, taking the blows for him in the hope that Meng might spare him even a glimpse of affection. Each time hope rose, it was followed by an endless despair more painful than disappointment.
Yan Liang helped Meng Wuxin overcome the princes' schemes and the emperor's show of protection that hid repeated assassination attempts. After countless brushes with death, all he got in return was a cruel accusation that he was putting on an act and making Meng sick.
From Ji Wenle's family intrigues and the political struggles at court to the rare treasures of the cultivation world, Yan Liang gave Meng Wuxin everything he had and everything Meng needed.
Ten years of hope brought him five years of despair, until his heart slowly turned to ashes.
Publicly humiliated and cast aside, Yan Liang finally stopped begging for love.
Divorce?
Wrong!
It wasn't you, Meng Wuxin, who divorced me, Yan Liang. I am the one casting you aside. From now on, we go our separate ways, and our paths will never cross again.
