   Highly recommend this novel! It's a 9.9 Out of 10 in my opinion!!! A bittersweet read [sends heart] "The city was on the verge of collapse, the country was about to perish, and Pei Qing wrote a letter to that person pleading for help. Seven whole days passed without a reply. But in her desperate moment, he arrived. His handsome face was filled with disdain and contempt. Xiao Yuan, blood dripping from his blade, lazily entered the emperor's bedchamber and called out 'Your Majesty, brother!' Relying on his merit in protecting the emperor, he naturally wanted some reward—'I have plenty of gold and silver, Your Majesty, please don't bestow those upon me. How about giving me your woman instead?'"
