Blurb: When Chen Nanxun saw Lin Yanqing, he was lying in a pool of blood. The flesh on his slender, pale arms was mangled, and the heavy shackles had left his ankles covered in wounds.

As always, his expression was gentle and his lips curved in a smile, because Lin Yanqing didn't want the person dearest to his heart to be afraid.

He soothed her softly: “It's okay. It doesn't hurt at all.”

Chen Nanxun's eyes brimmed with tears, but she didn't dare let them fall. She wanted to reach out and touch him, but was afraid of hurting him.

At last, her fingertips touched his pale cheek. Her hands were trembling.

She asked in a hoarse voice, “Was it worth it?”

Lin Yanqing thought, How could it not be? The twenty extra years he lived were stolen time. It's just that now, he couldn't bear to let them go.

Chen Nanxun was so good, so good that he couldn't bear to say a single harsh word to her.

In his life, the heir of Prince Chen had been true to everyone except Chen Nanxun. He had given his all for the imperial court.

Time and again, he had saved the crown prince from danger in the struggle for power. He had saved the people of the realm, but he couldn't give Chen Nanxun an answer.

“Nanxun, in my next life, I don't want to be anyone's heir. I want to be with you.”

Once everything had settled and peace reigned throughout the land, Chen Nanxun suddenly noticed that her husband was quite different from other people, so she casually tested him.

“Odd numbers change, even numbers stay the same?”

Lin Yanqing stared at her for a long while before finally replying, “The sign tells you which quadrant it's in...”

Chen Nanxun: ???? Husband, you've been hiding this so well.
