To Yuwen Ying, political intrigue is nothing more than a way to protect the peace and quiet of his own little corner. They say the most dangerous place is the safest, so he keeps him by his side.
Yuwen Ying doesn't fight or compete. If it weren't for that boy, all he would want is a comfortable, quiet life in the countryside.
"Did our Yuwen family owe your Yan family something in our previous life? Is that why we're willing to sacrifice our whole bloodline to repay you in this one?"
Yuwen Sijin/Ruan Sihong: Ambition in his eyes, delusions in his heart.
