When Silent Yuan was nineteen, he confirmed one thing: Yaoguang liked him.
She is the Seven Heavenly General of Emperor Gong, the supreme commander of Yuque, and the youngest general of the entire Immortal Boat Alliance. And he was just a young Taifu who came from a poor family and relied on fortune telling to make his fortune. She knew what he needed—someone to stand in the way of impeachment, clear obstacles, and move people away from him. She appeared "just right" every time, like a chess piece whose position he calculated exactly.
He used her to consolidate his power for eleven years.
It wasn't until the day of his exile that he realized that every time he took advantage of her, it was the right time for her to turn around. He thought he was using her, but she was actually grooming him to be what she wanted. He thought he was the chess player, but in fact he was the chess piece that she had raised for eleven years.
Ten years later he returned from exile. The sea of stars outside the window was still there, and there was a cup of warm tea on the windowsill, as if someone had predicted that he would open the door at this moment. He didn't know that she moved the tree, paved the road, and counted the ten years.
He thought he was back where he started. In fact, she had already been sitting at the end, waiting for him to open the cup of tea.
This is a story about calculation and silent gaze. He thought he had everything under his control, but it wasn't until the day of his exile that he discovered that all his "uses" were her preset interfaces.
