Luo Zhen had hoped for many things in his life.
When he was a child, he hoped to grow up quickly, go into battle to kill the enemy, and serve the monarch. When he was a young man, he was full of ambition, wore armor and was determined to work side by side with that man and become a general under his command. When he was young, he encountered great changes, which made him panic. For a time, he didn't know where he was or who he was loyal to. But after he regained consciousness, he still hoped to honor that man's last wish and open up new territories for him. But now that he thinks about it, these many expectations are like boiling a frog in warm water, pushing him step by step towards the abyss. What he encountered, what he hated, what he loved, what he inflicted on others, what he endured on his body, all formed a fine net in his heart, entangling him tighter and tighter as time went by, never giving him a moment to breathe.

Actually, I don't really want to label the characters in the article. I always feel that it would be restrictive... But if I insist on saying it, it's just an old joke between the scheming boy emperor and the shameless general ^^
