He's had enough in this lifetime.

Nan Xiangrong closed her eyes before she died.

I've known since I was little that I'm different from others.

I have a rugged appearance and stand out from the other children.

The things I like are things involving knives and sticks; other people just think I'm rude and not like a man.

Some immature children even call me "sister".

At that time, I only had one feeling.

That would be embarrassing.

Fortunately, I have a wonderful mother and sister who protect me and keep me safe from harm.

Later, when I was older, I learned the truth from my mother.

It turns out I resemble my father.

It turns out, I wasn't originally from the Great Wei.

But this matter is a thorn in my side, because it has become a chasm between me and His Highness.

Even if this chasm only exists for me.

Some people are just making trouble for themselves.

Our first meeting was on a bustling street.

What caught my attention was her reverence for the soldiers.

In fact, very few people would have expressed themselves so openly back then.

Most people admire those literary figures and scholars.

Her words not only stirred my passion but also reminded me of my father, whom I had never met.

I naturally admire my father. Even from the few words my mother occasionally utters, I know that my father must have been a great hero.

At that moment, I realized that this woman was indeed quite remarkable.

He is a rare, insightful person.

But I later discovered that many of her insights were so unique and amazing.

In the auction room, after she learned that I practiced martial arts, she not only did not look down on me or laugh at me, but instead looked at me with admiration.

From that moment on, I knew I was finished.

I'm hooked.

She really is different.

Sadly, I never noticed then that there was only appreciation in her eyes, nothing more.

Love really has nothing to do with who came first.

When the news of her engagement came out, I was struck dumb and simply couldn't believe it.

She only went to Jiangcheng, so how did she get engaged when she came back?

While he was still lingering in this relationship, someone had already made a move on her.

He was too late.

Of course, saying it's too late might not be accurate either.

Clearly, he mustered up his courage; it was all his heartfelt intention!

However, he was rejected.

She doesn't like him.

She rejected me very clearly, not giving me even the slightest chance, which was cruel.

I began to observe that young master Chen closely, trying to figure out what it was about him that attracted her and made her choose him.

What is it about me that I lack compared to him?

But love has no such reasons. It's just fate.

But he and she were not destined to be together.

Or perhaps it was a case of being destined to be apart, his feelings were one-sided, and she, with her own hands, severed that bond.

I decided to join the army, following her wishes.

That day, she and Mr. Chen had a fight because of me.

Upon seeing this, a secret sense of smugness arose within me.

If this could separate them, wouldn't he have a chance?

I despise myself for this, yet I can't suppress the thoughts in my heart.

However, I still underestimated her feelings and persistence.

They got married.

It was on the night of her wedding that I realized how much pain a person's heart can feel.

Every time, I tell myself to let her go, and that next time I will never let myself go like that again.

However, it failed time and time again.

Even though they already have children.

Seeing them grow more and more loving, I gradually got used to the pain.

Is it true that human potential is limitless, or does it require repeated testing?

As he watched her propose one reform after another, one measure after another, a surge of pride welled up within him.

That's just the kind of person she is!

She always thinks of everyone and tries her best in everything.

This is the person he truly loves!

Just when he thought things would continue like this, an unexpected change occurred.

The man he was so incredibly jealous of has gotten into trouble.

I thought I would be as happy as before, but seeing her so dejected...

How could he bear to do that?

At that moment, he felt that nothing else mattered.

His safety and his feelings are not as important as her happiness.

Even a slight frown from her could cause his heart to ache, leaving him restless and unable to find peace.

So I made a decision: I would share her burdens.

He couldn't help her much with that man's affairs, but he was still useful in some way.

He began to feel fortunate that he had chosen this path.

At least, he can still help her.

At first, my mother was unwilling for me to go to the battlefield.

I know what my mother is worried about, but she is different.

I finally convinced my mother, and she gave in to my wishes.

On the battlefield, I was worried about her situation while fighting with all my might.

He only wanted to defeat the witch clan as soon as possible, so that she would have no more worries.

Fortunately, I succeeded.

I can finally return home in glory and proudly tell her that I did it!

She didn't misjudge him.

Thankfully, that person also woke up.

Seeing her smile return, I asked for nothing more.

That would be great.

However, at the celebration banquet, although I was happy with her commendation.

But I also realized the trouble I was causing her.
