Legend says the river god appears once every thousand years. The emperor, who loved waging war, joked, "If the gods really exist, the empire will stop fighting."
So Yejia was offered to the emperor as a stand-in for the god.
They made her deceive him by every means possible, while he looked at her as though she were a clown.
He hated this counterfeit so much that he couldn't be bothered to expose her. Instead, he set trap after trap, waiting for her to give herself away.
He loved the great river that ran across the entire continent and was praised by countless nations and regions. It had given him, as a child confined to the palace, his entire idea of freedom and vastness. He could not tolerate a human imitation of it.
But Yejia was no counterfeit. She was only a stand-in for herself, for she was the river god all along.
So when the emperor knelt and begged her not to leave, begging her to forgive everything he had done, she simply shook her head. "The river belongs to no one."
She had never belonged to him.
Theme: The highest good is like water. Water benefits all things and does not contend. It dwells in places people despise, and so it is close to the Way.
DaDa unexpectedly updated it 😚 But this president is too annoying and too suffocating to talk to himself.
It is suspected that Rodrick and his wife took action against their "daughter" for her future. . .
Ci Jin's assessment is very accurate. The emperor has a fetish.
[Glasses] I opened it accidentally and saw this in one breath. The story is really good!! Very pure flavor of myths and legends
So the heroine only calls the emperor Gershwin, because in her eyes, everyone in their family is the same.
Ha
Wow, this guy really knows how to fantasize and convince himself
Xin Lianwei is really excellent!
Cijin still has more advanced humanity than these political animals, so it is a tragedy
In the eyes of the river, these humans are all drama queens
