An Empire's Reign, Like a Painting

Because he fell for her, he remained devoted: Yuan Yi “Eight years. I released countless river lanterns. At last, by the fated lovers’ river in Tong City, beside the fragrant blossom tree, you finally turned your gaze upon me.” Because he understood her, he stayed by her side: Xun Luo He went undercover beside her, his identity a mystery. Though he deceived her, he could never bring himself to hurt her, and he protected her at the cost of his life. “When the flowers across the shore bloom on the other side, what can be done at the bridge of helplessness? If you meet these flowers, as I met you.” Because he loved her most, he hurt her: Xun Ye He promised her an empire as beautiful as a painting, and she went to war with him to conquer the world. She loved him, and she hated him. When the empire is won, who will still remember the vows they once made and help her fulfill her dream of an empire as beautiful as a painting?
