In the large gold and red courtyard, the floors were slabs of limestone, the pillars were vermilion red and there were complicated Begonia patterns engraved on the railings. After an entire night of rain, the raindrops slipped down from the roof to the ground, wailing, telling what oppression she saw.
Inside this country, the yard is a paled young man sleeping on the bed, his body covered with treated wounds which made him look like a mummy, and he was frowning every time and then due to the amount of pain he is suffering every moment.
The red gold incense burner was made exquisitely with a flower shape type that was currently emitting sandalwood scent which smelt can relax a worried heart.
The young man opened his eyes, feeling the deep pain, he frowned, barely being able to get up and sit on the bed.
he smiled in mockery, it wasn't the first time he felt this injustice, it was forbidden to hurt a prince but for their little baby, one can ignore his wife hurting his own son.
it was not the first time, he remembered from a young age, whenever this little baby cries, he will suffer the harshest punishment ever, that now his body was full of scars, which made him wear a long collar clothes to hide any embarrassment that may cause him to suffer more from people tongues later on.
he remembers his mother died and how he saw that no one was with him in such hard moments, and his father will stare at his little baby with love and proudness and always has that smile on him but when he see him he doesn't react but his eyes couldn't hide the disgust due for looking more like his mother which hurts him since his mother is a kind and bright woman but was destined to marry a scumbag so as time goes by the expectations he had, disappear as for his heart that became empty also he will not trust anyone.
so after all this suffering, he decided to take the throne as his sole right and get revenge on his mother, but when he was one step further an evil spirit came and destroyed all his work, and this evil spirit was no one other than that general and his future husband.
thinking of him made him feel disgusted that he will vomit.
he already had a sweetheart which is this general's half-brother, a concubine's son Gu shen.
in this dark world only he was his light.
he fall in love with Gu shen when they were little kids. he remembered clearly that day after that little baby cried for a broken toy, he doesn't f*cking care about and never know about her, at the end he got punished for breaking it, where he didn't but a maid said that so he must be him.
At that time he was still a child so suffering thing injustice and no one listening to him made him sad so he hide under some trees, he sat down, hugged himself, and started crying.
As he was in the mid of a high emotional moment a voice came from the side and a head popped out, it was a little boy, he came in in front of him and talked to him calming him down and he told him how much he liked him to smile.
At that moment he finally felt his heart, he smiled and thanked him then that little boy promised to marry him at age of 18 even if he had forgotten he will but it seems the little boy had forgotten but he didn't.
Also, he waited every day in the same spot to meet him again but he never came, their first meeting was the last one.
he had forgotten the little boy's face since he was only 6 at that time but he noticed the tassel his mother gave it to him that he gave to the little boy at that meeting so he was sure that little boy is Gu shen.
so he is his sweetheart that he will marry so the marriage with the general was a curse on him.
