A Fine Day in the Splendid Dynasty: My Heart Belongs to You

When he died, the wind and sand in the northern frontier were fierce.

The sunset over Tiger Roar Gorge was like a splash of blood, staining half the sky screen red. The blood had drained from Ye Xian’s chest, but he felt no pain.

He was only wondering: What would she do when she found out?

He was still the sickly heir with a heart condition, still the poor soul whose parents had turned against each other, still the man she saw as “someone I can be friends with, but never entrust my life to.”

But he refused to accept it.

In his previous life, he had put all his strength into hiding: hiding his feelings, his illness, and the jealousy and resentment he couldn’t show. He thought that as long as he didn’t compete for her, as long as he watched her happiness from afar, it would be enough.
