In the tenth year of Tiansheng, winter turned to spring, and many things seemed to have happened. Ye Xiyan fell out of favor as expected, and then had an affair. The Marquis of Anding colluded with outsiders, and Li Chunfeng intended to rebel. As the Marquis of Anding's mansion and the Prime Minister's mansion were both investigated and severely punished by the court, the major powers in the court were also found to have their flaws.

A gentle breeze stirs at dawn, and the first rays of sunlight appear.

The spring sunshine was beautiful today. Mu Beichen sat idly in the front courtyard of the Yu family. As usual, he was dressed in a moon-white robe, with his black hair casually draped down. He looked down at the woman lying on his lap, his eyes smiling and his expression bright.

Yu Qianqian was dressed the same as him, her fingers clasped behind her head. Sunlight shone down from the vast blue sky, making her skin glow with a snowy white luster, and her eyes sparkled. She looked even more energetic than him.

She propped herself up on one arm and slowly turned her head to follow his gaze. A slight smile played on her lips as she looked at him for a long time without saying a word.

Mu Beichen smiled faintly at her, his fingertips gently tracing her cheek, her features inch by inch, his movements slow and gentle, his smile tinged with a hint of helplessness: "Qianqian, have you thought it through? Are you sure you want to do this?"

She knew what she meant, and she also knew what he was thinking. Over the years, from the moment they met to when they got to know each other and became close, the journey had been more bitter than sweet, but fortunately they could still have each other now. However, if all of this was in exchange for the sacrifice of others, she would have a guilty conscience for the rest of her life.

The Su siblings and Jiang Languo have always been a major concern for her. One of them had been kind to her, while the other deeply resented her. As a result, she has been tormented by guilt and hatred for years.

She thought that the only way to have peace of mind was to resolve these issues once and for all. She wanted to be free... she didn't want to continue living in hatred. In fact, she knew very well that Mu Beichen would not object to whatever she wanted to do.

Mu Beichen, just like her, put himself in her shoes and could easily see what she wanted. Since the day they parted ways in Ziyan Kingdom, Su Yu had completely disappeared. He didn't want her to live with guilt all day long, so he immediately sent people to search for her in secret. They turned the entire Beiyou Kingdom upside down. In a small town, the flow of carriages and people was as insignificant as ants, yet so countless. How much time and effort would it take to find one person?

After a while, Yu Qianqian slowly climbed off his lap and responded to his voice with a soft "Mmm": "I've thought it through. Now that I've made my choice, I'm not afraid of having any regrets in the future."

“But Su Ruan treated you so badly…” Mu Beichen’s mind was filled with complicated thoughts. He pulled her into his arms again and held her tightly. With his back to her, a deep sigh escaped his lips involuntarily: “Qianqian, you are so kind that it breaks my heart. Why are you always so good to others? Can’t you think more about yourself?”

“Achen…” Yu Qianqian was holding back her tears. She pushed him away with both hands and revealed a smiling face from his embrace: “Because I already have you. There is nothing better in the world.”

Hearing these words with his own ears, Mu Beichen was overjoyed and couldn't help but want to kiss her. "This time I will help you fulfill your wish. After that, we will retire to the mountains and live a carefree life together, or we can wander the world. We will just live our comfortable lives. Even if the sky falls in the future, we won't care."
