A Yang was raised on meals provided by kind strangers.
So when she saw the elders of her clan in a difficult position, she climbed into the carriage of her own accord and went alone to Xiang, where she became the consort of the Lord of Xiang.
The Lord of Xiang conquered eighteen tribes and unified the Southern Territory. His methods were devious, and countless souls perished beneath his blade. His fearsome reputation could frighten children into silence.
A Yang hid behind the red curtains, frightened and in tears, but even after crying until her eyes were red, the legendary Lord of Xiang still didn't come.
By the time she was exhausted and fell asleep, he still hadn't come.
She thought he had probably forgotten about her.
She slowly grew up in Xiang Palace until she was fifteen, living comfortably in a life where nobody paid her any attention.
But for some reason, the Lord of Xiang suddenly summoned her and gave her a large, warm bedchamber, sweet pastries, and beautiful clothes.
A Yang was frightened, flustered, and confused.
Once again, she hid behind the red curtains and cried until her makeup was ruined, praying that the Lord of Xiang would forget her as he had before.
But things didn't go as she wished.
Jia Tiao used to despise cowards more than anything. But then he fell for the most timid girl of all.
He told her, "Yangyang, if you're scared, cry. It's okay."
A crybaby and a great demon king.
Sometimes, just managing not to cry takes all the strength you have.
Enjoy reading, and cheers.
