How many emotions will we experience along life's path? Is the first person who stirs our heart truly the one we're destined to love?
The memory of our first meeting has grown hazy. I only vaguely recall white robes fluttering in the wind, and the time we brushed past each other. When we met again, I'd forgotten who you were. The gulf between ruler and subject seemed impossibly wide. How could I take that step closer...
"I am willing to be the sword in your hand and cut down everyone you wish to kill." If this is the only way to get closer, then what does it matter if my hands are stained with blood? But when the sword flashed, whose heart was pierced?
"Whether you live or die has nothing to do with me. To this palace, you are no more than a convenient pawn. What right do you have to demand anything of me?!" Born without a heart, sickly and frail, he would have died countless times if his heart weren't in someone else's keeping. How could someone like that ever understand love?
A heavy rain poured down. Atop the mountain, he was covered in wounds, yet still struggled against death. Even with only one breath left, he had to go back, because: "We made a promise. Your life belongs to me. Without my permission, you must not die!" Often, all it takes to bind someone's heart is a single sentence. But a single sentence can set it free, too: "We've been ordered to take Zuo Yushao's head back as proof of our mission!"

Once again, this proves I'm a total flake, ▽, Sigh~ I've spent most of the past few days working on the backlog for this story~ I'm deeply ashamed of how fickle I am~~

[The Ashes of Youth, Part Two]
Fallen blossoms flutter like butterflies, then turn to mud and return to the earth.
A thousand smiles, a few cups of wine: all that splendor was nothing but a dream.
A dream of youth, now white-haired, alone by the lamplight at dusk. So desolate. When I close my eyes, everyone is gone.
He was a schemer who had calculated everything, even the world, but could never see through himself. Though he was clearly heartless, he had inexplicably become obsessed with someone: "No one but Zuo Yushao is allowed to touch me! No one!!!"
The affair that came to light drove him into a desperate corner. He could only watch as someone smashed the child, not yet a hundred days old, to death before his eyes. "No!"
The sobbing stopped. A terrible silence filled the room.
With bloodied hands, no one could ever return to the past. A red four-character brocade pouch, a mysterious ancient tribe, a strange woman who appeared and disappeared, and someone who had returned from the dead: who was scripting this drama and playing every part?
At the opening of the first moon, who had slept for a thousand years, only to awaken one day wanting his protection for a lifetime? "Stay here with me."
Would he abandon his worldly wishes and remain with him in this sacred place, immortal and everlasting, for all eternity?
Would the rift of vengeance truly doom them to a tragic life together? Could everything still return to where it began? "I've done what I promised you. You've gotten what you wanted, too. From now on, we're even. We have no reason to meet again."
The retreating figure hardened his heart. Unable to keep him there, he resorted to one last extreme measure: "Fine! If you want to leave, I won't stop you! From now on, we'll go our separate ways, and never meet again in life or death!"
One cup of the potion that severs the seven emotions, and the lingering attachment would be gone. Without the seven emotions and desires, perhaps he could return to the way he was.
Reeds grow thick, white dew turns to frost. My beloved stands across the water.
Along the country road, where flowers bloom, the wind dries tear-streaked cheeks and leaves no trace.
A dream in the void, and when it's over, everyone has changed. We gaze at each other, and in the bed, the one who startled us awake is still here.

Requesting "Chapter 42: Returning to Wangjing with the Heart Returning"~~~ Where can I see it? Q__Q
I like this kind of little suffering. If you are cruel to others, you will be even more cruel to yourself.
I hate you so much, author, you liar! You lied to my feelings, be careful~

Xiaoqi is cruel to others, but even more cruel to himself. When will these two be happy?
This is my first time writing a long review. I apologize for the poor writing and a lot of nonsense. O(∩_∩)o Don't worry about typos and so on... I once thought that the title of the article was "Shaohua Ember", and the emotions between Yu Shao and Yi Qi would burn like fireworks, extremely passionate. But now that I think about it carefully, it is indeed "The End of Time" that is closer to them. They have so many misunderstandings and misses, and both parties have done many wrong things that have hurt the other party. We didn't get along for more than a year, but we were separated for ten years. From the beginning when Young Master Zuo Yu became Gong Yiqi's sword to the time they met again, the interaction between the two people was everywhere, but one of them often seemed careless. At first it was Gong Yiqi, and later he became Young Master Zuo Yu. Let's talk about Zuo Yu Shao first. I have always thought that Young Master Yu is an extremely good attacker! No matter how many times he was hurt by Yi Qi, no matter how big the price he paid each time, Yu Shaocong still liked Xiao Qi from the bottom of his heart ~ I think such a meticulous, persistent and single-minded person will only appear in our ambitions. Unlike Emperor Yan (perhaps) who valued Gong Yiqi's appearance, Master Yu must have truly loved Gong Yiqi. Although Mr. Yu once felt that he and Emperor Yan had the same purpose for Gong Yiqi, I selfishly made a distinction between them. Emperor Yan's purpose is to plunder Gong Yiqi's body, but Yu Shao hopes to take care of and protect the sick Gong Yiqi. He accompanied Gong Yiqi along the way. In addition to Gong Yiqi's beauty, he also saw his fragility, his ruthlessness, his soft spot (for He Wang), his scumbag... Even so, he did not give up on Gong Yiqi. When he recalls Gong Yiqi, he will feel that he is a gentle person and treats himself very well. He remembered almost every word Gong Yiqi said to him. When they met again ten years later, Mr. Yu was able to escape completely, but he still fell into it again. Later, Zuo's father was imprisoned, and then everyone in the Zuo family was executed. Young Master Zuo Yu must have resented Gong Yiqi in his heart, after all, they were close relatives. However, the resentment towards Gong Yiqi is probably more about the loss and pain after being hurt by the one he loves. From Xiaofeng's delicate description of Yu Shao's inner world, it can be seen that Yu Shao absolutely loves Xiao Qi with his life! On the contrary, Yi Qi's performance seems to frequently arouse public outrage... But compared to the superb Yu Shao, I prefer Xiao Qi~ I think this character is very successful, and he is the type that makes people love and hate him at the same time! Love for his clear determination of his destination, hate for his turning a blind eye to Young Master Yu's love and his cold-blooded ruthlessness towards his siblings, relatives and friends. In fact, you can't say that Yiqi is a scumbag, because he is born with deficiencies and has no heart. He was very good to Young Master Zuo Yu in the beginning, and this was obvious to all. As for the bad things that happened after that, I personally think it must be because Gong Yiqi was too straightforward and unintelligible. No matter how smart Gong Yiqi is in terms of strategy, it is always his first time to fall in love, and sometimes he doesn't know what he is thinking. However, it can be seen from the attitudes of the two buns that Gong Yiqi really likes Zuo Yushao. Afraid that Emperor Yan would know about it, he wanted to drop the first bun but was reluctant to drop it in the end. I believe that Yiqi has no feelings for the first bun, and is reluctant to leave it entirely because he cares about Zuo Yushao. Judging from Xiaofeng's description, one thing is very different between Yu Shao and Yi Qi at the beginning. In Zuo Yu Shao's world, Gong Yiqi is more important than his own life, but Gong Yiqi will definitely put his own life as the top priority. However, as the plot progressed to Erbaozi, judging from Gong Yiqi's attitude of stubbornly risking his life to give birth to Erbaozi, their status in this relationship has gradually become balanced, and Gong Yiqi even suffered a bit because he was suffering~ So they both love each other very much~ The biggest hope now is that they can live happily together and have a lot of babies to make up for the regret that the Zuo family was wiped out ╮(╯▽╰)╭ In addition, he is also very curious about the eldest prince (who seems to have an unusual affair with Gong Yiqi). Finally, I would like to express my admiration for Xiaofeng who still has to go to work during the day and can continue to update like this. Please try your best in the future~
