Everyone in the capital knew that Yan Zhi was a mad dog at the side of Princess Zhuangning, Zhao Guanjin.
For years, Yan Zhi had secretly loved someone, and he clawed his way up with everything he had, hoping to shake off that label.
When he finally got his wish and held his moon in his arms, he saw his hard-hearted former mistress smiling sweetly at someone else.
At that moment, the thing he wanted most was neither to wish them well nor to look away. He wanted to tear apart the dazzling warmth and understanding between them.
In that moment, Yan Zhi knew he would never escape Zhao Guanjin's label.
But this time, he was willing.
Mad Dog's Notes:
When Yan Zhi first crawled out of the mire, he saw someone as bright as the moon.
Not long after, Zhao Guanjin took him away. People told him that Zhao Guanjin would be his mistress from then on.
He asked Zhao Guanjin how he should repay her kindness.
After thinking it over, she replied, "You should gain power and influence, then keep that person well cared for by your side. That's the best way."
Only later did Yan Zhi realize that this was exactly how Zhao Guanjin had treated him.
But he had escaped the greenhouse she built for him.
Yan Zhi thought he regretted it.
If his mistress didn't want him when he turned back, he would hide her away. From then on, he would be the only person in Zhao Guanjin's eyes and heart.
Even if her heart was hard as iron, he would carve his name into it.
