nZhao An Yang: I always believed the heavens would let lovers be together, in the end, the heavens didn’t let me down.

nMy mother was a girl Zhao Wang bought from a brothel, therefore my life has been a tragedy.

nZhao Wang loved my mother a lot in the beginning. Although I wasn’t treated as well as Zhao An Ling when I was born, I wasn’t treated as badly as later in life.

nZhao An Ling’s mother came from a famous family, only it was a pity Zhao Wang didn’t love her.

nLong term jealousy becoming hate, that was that woman’s life.

n

n

nAfter all kinds of plots, Zhao Wang finally wouldn’t believe us.

nIn the end, my mother was locked up in the dungeon and I was accidentally blinded by Zhao An Ling.

nThe first time I met her, it was the year I was twelve.

nAt the thirtieth birthday banquet of Zhao Wang, it was a pity that I was blind, so I couldn’t personally watch the nation collapsing beauty as she danced.

n

n

nI only knew that after the dance was over, the entire banquet clapped for her.

nThat day, me who had been in boundless darkness had finally seen a trace of light.

nWhen I met her again, my mother was struck with a serious illness.

nThe moment the bell on her foot rang, my heart was filled with restlessness.

nThis was the Ming Province and she was in Zhong Mou, how could it be possible?

nBut when she spoke to me, I knew she was the light in my life.

n

n

nShe said she could help me find a doctor, but I had to go to Zhong Mou to look for her.

nI only knew she was a famous daughter in Zhong Mou, I never knew she was Luo Wang’s daughter.

nThe name Luo Wang, whether in my eyes or Zhao Wang’s eyes, it was far out of reach.

nBut even like this, I still wanted to find her in the depths of my heart.

nAlthough I couldn’t see anything.

nBut on the next day, my mother died.

nZhao An Ling said that luckily there was his little sister Qing’er that my mother had finally died.

nI knew Zhao An Ling’s meaning, he was saying that she caused my mother’s death.

n

n

nBut I didn’t believe him.

nAfter burying my mother, I didn’t know where to go, but I didn’t want to stay in Zhao Wang’s Manor.

nThe teacher who taught me how to read and write when I was young had pity for me, so he asked if I was willing to go to the Li Le Academy he had just opened.

nI was overjoyed and accepted without even thinking about it.

nAfter all, the Li Le Academy was in Zhong Mou.

nActually, she didn’t know, but I knew she would go to the Li Le Academy before even she knew.

nOf course, I also knew that she was Luo Wang Manor’s only daughter.

nI couldn’t help revealing a bitter smile. This was a chasm that could never be crossed.

nIt could never be crossed and even effort was just a joke.

nBut she still talked to me, but I knew it was impossible for us.

nI worked very hard at studying and without knowing why, my path seemed to become much smoother.

nAfter several years, I became a supervising censor with the help of one of my teachers.

nLater I knew that for a blind person like me, to progress this smoothly, there had to be someone high up helping me.

n

n

nThe one high up was her.

nAt this time, Yan Wu Se who had helped me before was being forced to marry a sixty year old imperial teacher, becoming his concubine.

nThinking of how I was a blind man, it was impossible for me to be with her in this life.

nI did owe a favour to Yan Wu Se, so I should return it.

nBut I never thought that on the eve of the wedding, she actually appeared before me with the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus and the Luo Family’s token, forcing me to marry her.

nI actually had a chance to marry her!

nLuo Wang pampered her, doing everything to satisfy her.

nEven if she wanted to marry a blind man.

nThe night I was married to her, I opened her veil and saw her nation collapsing beauty for the first time.

nIt was truly, truly beautiful. She was this beautiful, so why did she like me?

nHow I wanted to spend my life with her, even if I couldn’t take my revenge.

nAnd her, she never stopped helping my pave my path, doing all she could to help me suppress all the cities on the eastern continent.

nBut I eventually hurt her and hurt our child.

nWhen she returned to my side, I felt she had changed.

nShe had always been arrogant and decisive in the past, but without knowing why, it had all changed.

nShe became this cute and even secretly cooked for me.

nAlthough the dishes she made were a bit……

nBut she had changed. She would use soft words, she would show emotion, she would cry in front of me, she would…..hug me.

nIf I could only admire her before, now I just wanted to get close to her.

nThis was because I was no longer blind.

nThis was because I finally had the chance to stand in front of her like a man and protect her.

nFor you, I was willing to be trapped forever in the ground in this life.
