A loyal, selfless lone minister in the apocalypse VS a cunning, devoted merman sea emperor
[1] The first time A Gou saw Yin Zhuiyue, she was like a deity descending from the heavens. She rescued him when he was on the verge of death in the fighting arena, then flicked a finger. The arena he had despised for ten years vanished into dust in an instant.
He thought he had encountered a powerful figure at court, and clung to Yin Zhuiyue like a stubborn plaster.
In the end, Yin Zhuiyue kept him by her side and gave him the name Xin Bingzhu.
“Winter stretches far ahead, and the dark night seems endless. Only by holding a candle can one hope for the spring dawn.”
At the time, he did not understand what she meant. He only knew he had to rely on her to reclaim the merfolk pearl he had lost many years ago, then return to the blue sea and have nothing more to do with the humans on shore.
[2] But later, Xin Bingzhu no longer wanted his merfolk pearl.
He would rather the pearl truly be the national fortune treasure of Daqian. As long as it remained, Daqian's reign could endure for generations.
But Yin Zhuiyue defied the whole world by returning to him the treasure that symbolized the nation's fortune.
“Daqian's fortune does not rest on a single pearl.”
“Restoring Daqian is my destiny, not yours. Huangye, return to the sea, and never come back.”
