Naturally, Liuli and Jian'an fell in love. The couple, deeply in love, automatically ignored the fact that there was an Empress. And that Empress named Fengguang never bothered them.
But one day, she took the initiative to approach Jian An. She wanted to make a deal with Jian An, a very simple deal. She could give up the position of Empress and not be the so-called "third party" in Jian An and Liu Li's love. The condition was that Jian An could not interfere with who she was with. This "who" referred to Zhong Ran.
As far as Liuli knew, Zhong Ran had not yet fallen in love with Feng Guang at that time. Liuli could sense that Zhong Ran seemed to be more interested in her. She admitted that Zhong Ran's gentle and refined manner was easy to make women's hearts flutter, but her heart only belonged to Jian An. She selectively ignored Zhong Ran's vague feelings.
Liuli could sense that Fengguang was bothered by Zhongran's feelings for her. For example, when the two of them occasionally bumped into each other in the Imperial Garden, Fengguang found it difficult to give her a friendly look.
When Feng Guang learned that Liu Li and Jian An had feelings for each other, she always acted indifferent. But now that it's about Zhong Ran, she doesn't seem so indifferent anymore.
Liuli was unaware of the details between Zhong Ran and Feng Guang. Time quickly came for Jian An to go to the battlefield. Jian An had an accident on the battlefield, and Liuli chose to save Jian An with her own life. However, Liuli did not die. Just as she was about to take out her own heart, Feng Guang arrived.
Fengguang told her to leave this place as soon as possible, the farther away the better.
Liuli didn't understand what this request was until Zhong Ran appeared in front of them, and then the truth came out. Jian An wouldn't have died on the battlefield for no reason; it was Zhong Ran's plan. He was close to Jian An and knew very well what Jian An's weaknesses were on the battlefield. Zhong Ran's reason for doing this could be said to be for Liuli, but it was definitely not because he liked her. Rather, it was because he needed to take her heart away when she willingly took it out to save someone.
Liuli still remembers that in the smoke-filled battlefield, where corpses lay everywhere, the man stood smiling in the blood-red sunset. He slowly said, "From the first time I saw you, I knew you were an immortal, not a human. The book records that as long as an immortal is willing to take out their heart, the person who eats the heart can live forever."
Liuli sensed that Zhong Ran was indeed interested in her, but this interest wasn't what she thought. He didn't like her; he just wanted her heart.
At that moment, Liuli felt extremely panicked. She couldn't imagine that the person who usually spoke to her like a warm older brother would suddenly say such terrifying things. It was only because Fengguang supported her that she didn't fall to the ground.
Liuli asked Zhong Ran in a calm voice, "Do you want to live forever?"
“Immortality? No.” Zhong Ran shook his head unexpectedly, looking at Feng Guang with deep affection. “I have already achieved immortality. My only purpose is to allow Feng Guang to live forever, so that she can stay by my side forever.”
Feng Guang was stunned. Not only her, but even Liu Li was stunned. She held Jian An's body, feeling a chill run down her spine.
They never expected this answer.
