The Duke's Marchen
"What do you see when you see me?" he asked as he wrapped his arms around her. For a few seconds, she bathed in his warmth. "Do you want me to be honest?" He nodded. "I see a man who changed my world. He chuckled at that. "Not honest enough." She lifted her head. Her beautiful gray eyes stared at his brown ones. "I see the Villain." She gulped and added, "I see someone that would burn the world... just to keep me safe." "Again..." he smiled. "Again?" "I wouldn't hesitate to burn the world again just to keep you safe." .... She loved him like a brother. He loved her more than he loved his life. In his dying breath, the woman that he loved finally cried... for him. At last, he thought before closing his eyes. She was finally looking at him. How ironic. .... "I lost you once. I can't lose you again. " - Duke Li Qiang This is the Story of Li Qiang and his redemption. ....

Internal Injuries
When Li Qiang opened his eyes again… he was still alive.
Thank god, he thought inwardly. But before he could smile, he felt someone's arm on his stomach.
"Hm?"
The surprise in Li Qiang's eyes vanished when he saw Wang Rouyun. He grunted to get the woman's attention.
"You're awake?"
Wang Rouyun immediately got up. She was sitting on a stool just next to Li Qiang. The eyebags on her face were especially noticeable.
"We will talk later!" Wang Rouyun got up. She frowned then she walked out of the… tent? Li Qiang frowned when she realized that this isn't his tent.
Was he in Wang Rouyun's tent?
However, before he could celebrate, he heard Dou Lin's voice.
"What the hell were you thinking?" Dou Lin hissed.
"What?"
"You could easily defeat that man."
"Oh…" Li Qiang smirked. "Of course, I can."
"Yet you forced me to show myself!"
"I need you to show yourself."
"You— Tsk…I was tasked to protect you!"
