On the day I was exiled to Shu, I buried my father's ashes with my own hands.
When I got up, I saw a man in bright red wedding clothes standing in the wind and snow, his eyes blank and lifeless - this was my legendary blind husband, the deposed prince Xiao Jinghuai.
He took off his cloak and handed it to me: "Put it on. I only wore two."
I wrapped my clothes around him, and my mind went crazy: He looks so good-looking! Too bad I'm blind. But it's good for a blind person. A blind person won't find me sneaking out to make notes in the middle of the night, let alone help me investigate my father's unjust case. This exile is worth it!
His hand holding the teacup paused almost imperceptibly.
Later I discovered that His Highness the Blind Man was very eccentric - he poured wine without spilling a drop, and peeled eggs better than me. Every time I finished my rant, "This man is so good-looking," his hand holding the bowl would shake.
What's even more strange is that when I went to the back mountain to peel off the bark of a tree in the middle of the night, he followed me in the dark and handed me my cloak. When I got caught in the rain and had a fever, he stayed with me all night. When I was bullied, he stood in front of me and said, "She is Gu's wife. Anyone who wants to touch her should come to Gu first."
I thought he was a poor blind man, but little did I know——
He pretended to be blind for twelve years just to keep his life in the darkness. And my heartless words were the only real voices he had heard in the past twelve years.
He said that I was the light that broke into his darkness.
I said, this is the home that makes me want to live well.
Later, when the Queen Mother wanted to investigate me and the court wanted to touch me, this "blind" husband opened his eyes for the first time and showed the sharpness he had hidden for twelve years -
"Gu's home is beside her. Anyone who wants to touch her should step on Gu's body first."
I thought I was in exile, but I didn't know that I was in exile for someone who would become the enemy of the world for me in the future.
