The Light of Xi

If you want to become the brightest one, then I am willing to give you all my light.

Lin Jingxi once asked Tang Zhuo, "Can someone love another person without holding anything back?"

Tang Zhuo answered, "Yes."

Lin Jingxi had always thought that loving someone meant simply loving them, with no connection to one's life, one's grand plans, or one's determination to wield power.

But they would pay the price for it throughout the long years of their lives.

Before the throne, Tang Zhuo knelt and bowed her head. "Your Majesty, I have admired the Fourth Prince since childhood. I beg Your Majesty to grant my wish."

Many years later, on a winter afternoon, sunlight warm and gentle, a man sat in a reclining chair reading. A child on his lap suddenly asked, "Father, how do you read this character?"

The man looked and replied, "Xi. It means bright and radiant."

Tang Zhuo leaned close to the man's ear and softly corrected him: "You're wrong. It's the name of the person Tang Zhuo admires."

Being good to someone doesn't necessarily mean you love them.

And perhaps loving someone doesn't necessarily mean you'll treat her well.
