He achieved great success and high rank in his previous life, but disappeared from the court at a young age. It is at this time that he hopes to overcome his difficulties.
Huo Baichuan looked up at Zhao Shu after a long while. He was backlit, and the dim yellow light made him look particularly gentle. He was quiet and unsmiling, like a person made of jade.
I don't know why some people are willing to spend money without feeling bad.
“Zhao Shu, I suddenly feel so lonely, I’m afraid I can’t hold on.” After he finished speaking, he stood up and walked to Zhao Shu’s side, suddenly pulled her into his arms, hugged her tightly, and said, “Just let me hug you for a while.
