My name is Fang Yunheng. My father is Fang Xingzhou, the only king of a different surname in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and my mother is Liu Yan, the daughter of the chief academic officer of the Imperial College.

The emperor's uncle was as close to my father as a brother. He often visited the palace and often invited me to the palace to play. He even let me study the six arts of a gentleman and the essentials of governing a country with the princes in the upper study.

I thought he was nice to me only because of my father, but later I found out there were also reasons because of my mother.

When my uncle was young, he was too naughty and often made trouble in the study room. He refused to listen after being taught many times, so the late emperor sent him to the Imperial College.

My father was also with him. They met my mother in the Imperial College, and the three of them grew up together as childhood sweethearts.

My mother was of outstanding appearance and extraordinary talent, and the emperor's uncle admired her. However, due to her low status, the emperor's uncle could only strive for the position of concubine with his greatest efforts. My mother did not want to be a concubine and rejected his proposal.

Later, the emperor's uncle inherited the throne, and mother and father got together, but mother finally had a place in the emperor's uncle's heart. The emperor's uncle came to the palace more to see mother, while father went to court every day.

The three of them got along well and no one overstepped their authority, and ten years passed like this.

I was ten years old that year. The northern barbarians invaded, and my uncle the Emperor led the army in person, accompanied by my father.

The emperor's uncle has an outgoing personality and is not bound by the court. He has led troops to war in person before, but they all ended without any danger. I think this time will be the same.

The northern barbarians came with great force, and my father died on the battlefield to protect my uncle. Although we won the war in the end, I lost my father forever.

Despite her serious injuries, the emperor's uncle came to the palace to ask for my mother's forgiveness. My mother forgave her, sent me away during the wake, and committed suicide in front of my father's coffin.

When I was eleven, I lost my parents forever.

Uncle Huang felt guilty about me, so he brought me up by his side. However, he passed away after only one year. Before he died, he held my hand and said he was sorry to my parents and to me.

He appointed me as regent to assist the 5-year-old emperor Xuanyuan Mo.

Xuanyuan Mo knew nothing, so I had to take on the responsibility of governing the country, fighting against the barbarians, punishing corrupt officials, and at the same time teaching him military tactics and strategies.

Later, he grew up and had his own thoughts. Not only did he not get close to me, he also wanted to kill me. I gave him half of the power and used the remaining half to protect myself.

I have my own followers in the court. They cannot stand Xuanyuan Mo's self-defeating behavior and want to support me to become the new emperor.

But I have no intention of rebelling.

Changing dynasties means bloodshed and sacrifice, and how many families have been torn apart. I know the pain of losing loved ones and don't want more people to be like me.

Later, I met Wen Qinning. She was drunk and teased me, saying that I was as pretty as a jade and looked very much to her liking, and that she wanted to marry me.

I had never seen such a bold and forthright woman, and I felt surprised for a moment.

Later she was taken away by Xuanyuan Mo. I checked her information. She was the daughter of the Minister of Revenue and grew up in Yuzhou City. The women in Yuzhou City are straightforward and bold, and she is no exception.

Her flamboyant and unruly personality is completely different from mine.

I am introverted and restrained, and everyone around me is very intelligent. Even the guard Xiaowu is scheming and cunning. When I met her, I felt my eyes brighten.

Later I thought about it carefully and realized that there must be a chicken mixed in with the crane. It was just a temporary novelty, but I mistakenly thought it was love and started pursuing her.

She neither refuses nor accepts. She takes everything given to her as a matter of course, as if it were supposed to be that way.

She said that she wanted to be alone for the rest of her life, and that her future husband must only be her, and she could not accept that her husband had a second woman, even if she was a prostitute.

So when Xuanyuan Mo ordered her to enter the palace, I thought that she would resist. When I saw Hua Ling, who looked 70% similar to her, an idea suddenly came to my mind.

Sure enough, she asked me to meet her and said that she didn't want to enter the palace. I told her my thoughts and asked her to marry me.

Life after marriage was dull and boring. Wen Qinning thought about Xuanyuan Mo every day, and I had never thought about consummating the marriage with a woman who had someone in her heart.

I asked someone to find out the news in the palace, and the result was that Xuanyuan Mo was doted on every night.

The secret letter said that Hua Ling's appearance was exposed, but Xuanyuan Mo thought it was the effect of makeup. I thought it was outrageous and suspected that the secret letter had been replaced, so I went to Ninghuan Palace to find out.

I saw Hua Ling got up lazily, happily making clothes for Xuanyuan Mo, and acting coquettishly towards Xuanyuan Mo. Her eyes were full of affection when she looked at Xuanyuan Mo. Perhaps this is how you should behave when you like someone.

Wen Qinning would never treat me like this.

I peeked at them. It turned out that the woman could be so beautiful at this time. I couldn't help but be a little absent-minded, but Hua Ling saw me. Xuanyuan Mo was furious and led the twelve guards to search the palace for my whereabouts.

The most dangerous place is the safest place.

I secretly returned to Ninghuan Palace and hid in the bathtub in the side hall with the help of Chunyu. When Hua Ling found me, I couldn't control myself.

The taste was so good that I indulged in it and committed the crime again.

Hua Ling dared not speak out and would only cry silently when she was bullied, which made me bully her even more harshly.

Wen Qinning was still thinking about Xuanyuan Mo. I was thinking about how to confess to her. I also thought about letting her enter the palace and let Xuanyuan Mo find out that the real Concubine Ning was in my house. She missed Xuanyuan Mo day and night, so she must agree.

But then I thought of Hua Ling and felt sympathy for her.

It was my decision to have Hua Ling enter the palace. She is living a good life now and Xuanyuan Mo likes her very much. I have already used her once and I cannot use her a second time. That would be too cruel.

Before I could think of a perfect solution, Xuanyuan Mo took action. He found a sorcerer and swapped Hua Ling and Wen Qinning. I couldn't help but be happy, as this would be good for all three of them.

The emperor got the person he really wanted.

Wen Qinning no longer has to be depressed.

I don't have to feel guilty, and I found that I really like Hua Ling. Whether it's her stunning appearance, her soft body, her slender waist, or her simple and delicate personality, they all suit my aesthetic taste.

Worried that Xuanyuan Mo would regret it, I assigned her two personal guards.

On the way to the Heavenly Sacrifice, Xuanyuan Mo tried to kill me several times but I managed to save him every time. Over the years, I got tired of his constant provocations and smeared "Luo Hui" on the arrow that pierced him.

The little kid who followed me when I was a child died in my hands when he grew up.

I also met Wen Qinning.

Wen Qinning asked me why I didn't go to the palace to find her, and I said that everything was fine the way it was now.

But Wen Qinning refused to give up. She said that she was my real wife and asked me to drive Hua Ling away. I asked her if she could give up the position of Concubine Ning, and she asked me to give her some time.

I really don't understand Wen Qinning. When she is with me, she thinks about Xuanyuan Mo. When she is with Xuanyuan Mo, she thinks about me. She refuses to give up on either side. She is so greedy and stupid.

I received a message from Xiao Wu that Hua Ling was pregnant and was being hunted by the Killer Alliance. The Killer Alliance's commission was very high. I thought about all the people who could afford the commission and who Hua Ling might have offended, and I quickly determined that it was Wen Qinning.

Xuanyuan Mo also received the news and thought that Wen Qinning was the most suspicious. We rarely avoided tit-for-tat during those days, and caught them red-handed when Wen Qinning was discussing with the Minister of Revenue.

It turns out that behind Wen Qinning's straightforwardness and boldness is arrogance and domineering, and behind his flamboyant and willful nature is a vicious plot.

All my good impressions of Wen Qinning are gone, and I just want to live a simple and peaceful life with Hua Ling.

I calculated the date and found that Hua Ling was conceived in Ning Huan Palace. I was not sure whether it was my own blood, so I sent a message to Xiao Wu to help her abort the baby.

We will have children in the future, but Xuanyuan Mo's bloodline must not be born.

But Xiaowu did not follow my order. Hualing didn't want to have an abortion, so I could only secretly give her the abortion pill.

I was just out for a while and she disappeared with Li Yan.

Was it that the abortion pills were discovered and she hid them, or was it that Li Yan took her away with ulterior motives?

I felt a wave of regret in my heart. If she didn't want to have an abortion, she didn't have to. At most, Xuanyuan Mo's child could call me dad. Now Hua Ling is missing, and I have searched everywhere around her but can't find any news about her.

I also checked Li Yan, and it turned out that his identity was a fake. The people in the stable were also Xuanyuan Mo's men. They usually wore a human skin mask, and when spies came, they would give the human skin mask to the spies to wear, making it easier for the spies to carry out their mission.

I cleared out everyone in the mansion. There were more than ten secret agents wearing human skin masks. I killed them all and sent their heads to Xuanyuan Mo, threatening him to hand over Hua Ling.

Xuanyuan Mo was furious and thought that I was crying wolf and asked me to hand over Hua Ling.

We refused to give in to each other. Xuanyuan Mo wanted me dead and planned an assassination. All the evidence pointed to me.

But he didn't know that after pacifying the Southern Barbarians, I controlled the entire southern region with the Southern Barbarians as the radiation area. They regarded me as their leader and obeyed my orders.

I led them to rebel and confront Xuanyuan Mo from the north and south.

I didn't give up on looking for Hua Ling. Every time we conquered a city, I asked my subordinates to keep an eye out for clues. Whenever I saw refugees on the roadside, I would worry that Hua Ling was not having a good life. So I set up a resettlement site for the refugees, for fear that Hua Ling would be drifting outside with nowhere to go.

Ten months later, Li Yan found me with the baby. The baby was premature, but the baby was fair and tender and looked very much like me. I knew it was my child at first glance.

I named him Zhiyi.

The south wind knows what I want, blowing dreams to Xizhou.

I miss Hua Ling and dream of reuniting with her.

When I heard that she had become Xuanyuan Mo's queen, I swore to invade Shengjing and snatch her from Xuanyuan Mo, since Xuanyuan Mo wouldn't live long anyway.

I didn't expect that I would live shorter than him. If I were given another chance, I would still make the same choice. I love her more than my life.

During the time I was in a coma, I had a dream.

In my dream, I still pushed Hua Ling out, but Xuanyuan Mo saw through it at a glance that she was not Wen Qinning. He pretended to favor her and made things difficult for her by the people in the palace, and then used the palace banquet to swap her with Wen Qinning.

In my dream, I was upset because of losing Wen Qinning. When I saw Jiang Luochuan at the door, I asked the servants to take her out and hand her over to Jiang Luochuan. Perhaps the servants' attitude was too arrogant, Jiang Luochuan did not dare to recognize her.

I just watched her being dragged away and tortured to death. When I woke up from the dream, I felt a pain in my heart and was so emotional that I couldn't tell the difference between the dream and reality.

I explained to Hua Ling, but she remained indifferent, with a look of alienation on her face. At that moment, I felt like I was falling into an ice cellar.

That was not a dream, it was something that happened in the past. Hua Ling came back and she came to take revenge on me.

Perhaps my behavior softened her heart and she didn't want to retaliate against me, so she left me and stayed with Li Yan.

I looked for her everywhere, and found all the people who had hurt her in my dreams and tortured them to death. Finally, I found her, but I was also going to die.

She asked me, "You lived a long life in your previous life, but died young in this life because of me. Don't you hate me?"

How could I hate her?

When word of what happened on the battlefield spread, people labeled me a lovesick person. They all felt that I was not worthy, but I never thought so in my heart.

I owed her a life in my previous life, and I paid her back in this life. Is that fair?

Before I died, I held her hand and asked, "Can you forgive me?"

She lowered her eyes and told me that she forgave me.

I smiled with relief.

The hurt from my previous life is repaid in this life. Can I beg to see her again in the next life?

It seemed as if God had heard my plea, and when I opened my eyes again I was back to the morning when we first met.

I will protect you in this life and never let go of your hand.
