Turn of events

Ling Han tried all means, yet these paths proved not to be feasible.

Could it be that he really could only give up?

Ling Han calmed his heart, giving up all thoughts of benefits and rewards of his actions, and lived the most peaceful, ordinary life.

With the company of the Empress and the others, he traveled mountains and seas, his temperament becoming more and more at peace.

On a particular night, he sat on the banks of a pond, looking at the many stars reflected in the waters. When Li Sichan mischievously tossed a stone in, it instantly caused many ripples to form.

Ling Han suddenly stiffened. It seemed like he was close to grasping something, but when he stretched out his hand, he did not touch anything.

In this instant, he felt an intolerable itch in his heart. A small crack had opened in the great doors ahead of him, yet he had simply forgotten the scenery that lay within.
