“To have beauty exist in this world is already in itself something to be grateful for.”

“To me, the one basking in infinite glory is you; the one fallen from grace is also you. What matters is you, and not the state of you. I…admire San Lang very much, so I want to understand your everything. So, I’m very envious that someone has already met that kind of you. It’s an affinity that only comes by chance, and couldn’t be begged for. Whether that bond should continue, it’s three parts fate, and seven parts courage!”

Hua Cheng comforted, “You don’t need to be so hard on yourself. Without fear, there is no courage.”

He heard Hua Cheng’s staggering voice coming from above. “...Your Highness. You really…will be the death of me.”
