He reached the pinnacle in letters, the extreme in martial arts, his looks were world-shaking, and his presence unrivaled. Hua Yan felt as though a gigantic pie had fallen from the sky, landing squarely on her head. From then on, was she to compete with the entire world for this man? -------------------- Yun Chi: Standing at the pinnacle of the Azure Clouds, he learned the art of balance, practiced the strategies of an emperor, envisioned the land and skies in his heart. Within the nine-layered royal palace, he could turn his hands to clouds and his palms to rain, holding sway over the court and the nation, trimming himself into a figure free from desire and henceforth unyielding. Hua Yan: She viewed herself as beneath the dust, with all her emotions and desires, disliking the Son of Heaven's court, preferring the ordinary alleys, treading on ten feet of soft red and experiencing all facets of life. She believed that nothing was better than green mountains and clear waters. "If you promise me a lifetime, I will accompany you for an eternity."

Chapter 92 (First Update)_1

Compared to Zhao Qingxi, whom everyone saw as the epitome of perfection, Hua Yan always felt she truly paled in comparison.

She emerged from the mire, brewed in the marketplace, and mingled in Qin Building's and other houses of pleasure; she had stayed in the filthiest places in the world and had lived in the most licentious venues, and yes, she had also set foot in halls of high culture. But, after all, she knew from a young age that as a woman, her kind was not welcomed in society.

The Hua Family of Lin'an was considered an anomaly in the world, but even at home, where she was showered with affection from her elders and siblings, it was always with a shaking head and a sigh.

So, she had never heard someone praise her to her face before, especially not from the lips of this man who was once rumored to have wanted to marry Zhao Qingxi.
