“A Xun, come back to the palace with me.”
The year his legs were broken, in freezing weather and on the verge of starving to death on the street, the young crown prince gave him a pastry.
When he was seven, his appearance changed, and Crown Prince Qi Rong abandoned him in a burial ground. He escaped the jaws of wild beasts and crawled to the palace gates, covered in blood.
At seventeen, Qi Rong, now emperor, sent him to the battlefield as a gift, offering up his life to his own first love.
When he woke again, his former body had rotted away, and he had become Qi Rong's first love: the Third Prince of the neighboring kingdom of Beichu.
“Qi Rong, this time I'll make you learn what it feels like to toy with someone's heart.”
Su Xun gazed at his hands and the face in the mirror, slowly curling his lips into a smile.
“If toying with me and humiliating me makes you feel a little better, then it's worth it… Cough, cough, cough…”
The Emperor of Nanliang, Qi Rong, fell to the ground in a wretched heap. He looked up at the person before him, only to realize that this person's shadow looked so much like Su Xun's had all those years ago.

I don't want to be let down, so I don't accept any reasons for being let down. So I'm quite satisfied with the ending. I seem to have heard that poverty, love, and coughing can't be hidden, so how come two people who like each other don't let each other feel their love at all? The writing is very smooth and the story is very strong. I feel that the number of words may be too few, so the details are not enough.
The author's writing style is very good, the plot is compact, and the writing is bloody and brutal!
