“My maternal grandfather was once a peerless hero who struck fear throughout the martial world and was renowned across the land. My maternal grandmother was born into the royal family, a precious jewel among its branches.
But they grew weary of the world's splendor and withdrew from the martial world, settling on an island where they lived in seclusion, heedless of worldly affairs.
Later, they had a son and a daughter, both of whom longed for the bustling world beyond. At last, one day, they bade their parents farewell, set sail in a small boat, and came to the lively Central Plains.
In the Central Plains, Mother met Father and gave birth to me. She also adopted my younger sister. My uncle, too, married my aunt.
Later, Father and Mother were killed one after the other by their enemies. To escape danger, my uncle and aunt took my sister and me and fled back to the island.
Only after my sister and I had grown up and my aunt had passed away did I return to the Central Plains with my sister.”
Li Xingyi frowned deeply. “You came back to the Central Plains and approached me to avenge your birth parents?”
“Yes,” Zhang Zhinan replied candidly.
Li Xingyi's gaze sharpened. “Was the person who killed your parents my mother?”
Zhang Zhinan shook her head. “Yes and no. Now, I only want to ask you one thing: would you be willing to give up all your power, status, and wealth, and live with me in seclusion on the island, just like my maternal grandparents?”
Li Xingyi pondered for a long time before finally saying, “What if I don't want to?”
Zhang Zhinan seemed unsurprised by his answer. “Then we will each go our own way from now on and never meet again. From this day forward, we will be strangers.”
Theme: Which matters more, personal revenge or the lives of countless people?
This overhead span is a bit large. But interesting
"I will also be deceived by your false love." "This is a big bug for the author~
I've written a new article. Did you know that the author's writing is very good? Is Miss Zhen pretending to be a ghost in this novel?
A few suggestions for the author's copy: "In the Central Plains, my father met my mother-in-law, gave birth to me, and adopted my sister; my uncle also married my aunt." It feels like it should be "In the Central Plains, my mother-in-law met my father-in-law." Because the previous word order has always been on the mother-in-law's side, and it was her mother-in-law who came from the island, and it was not mentioned that my father-in-law was not originally from the Central Plains.
To catch insects, "kick them in your arms" should be "kick them in your arms". Did the male protagonist bump into Jinlu on purpose so he could get information from them? Otherwise, it would be too unfair to act so generously.
Hey, where's the next chapter? Knock on the bowl and wait for updates.
