"The bright moon of The Legend of Qin, the passes of the Han,
Ten thousand miles on the expedition, yet the men have not returned."
"I'm not a good person."
"What a coincidence. Neither am I."
Since the age of ten, Yuchi Jiangli had known the value of keeping his words few.
He knew he had no one to rely on. All he could count on was the emperor's so-called old affection and himself.
Jin Shuchen's fate was the exact opposite of his.
His father doted on his mother, and his mother doted on him.
Raised by his parents to love learning, he was a refined and charming young gentleman.
The first half of his life had gone smoothly enough, until he met Yuchi Jiangli and began a lifetime of bad luck.
A loyal-to-his-emperor, patriotic, faithless gong x a gentle, devoted shou
Neither of them is perfect.
