There was a torn candy wrapper lying under the bed.
This candy wrapper is very special; you can't buy it even if you search all over Shengjing City. It's a candy that only Yi Chenli has, and it's An Yuan'er's favorite candy since she was a child.
Yi Chenli had said before that this candy was unique to his mother's country, the Southern Kingdom, where the customs and culture were different from those of Shengjing. The sky was high and the sea was vast, the mountains were high and the rivers were flowing, and the scenery was breathtaking. It was a very desirable place.
However, what An Yuan'er longed for most there, besides the beautiful scenery, was that a man could only marry one wife and could not take concubines. Moreover, women there held a higher status than men and were the apple of every family's eye.
Years ago, Yi Chenli's mother, being playful, ran away from the Southern Kingdom to play, where she met the current emperor. The two fell in love at first sight and refused to be separated. The Southern Kingdom's little princess insisted on marrying the emperor, who was then only the crown prince. With the Southern Kingdom's help and support, the emperor was able to obtain the throne.
However, even the most passionate love of the past could not withstand the allure of new lovers and a string of young and beautiful women, and the Emperor ultimately betrayed Yi Chenli's mother.
An Yuan'er squatted down, picked up the candy wrapper from the ground, and held it in her hand.
It turned out that she wasn't dreaming; he really had been there and healed her.
It turned out that he hadn't forgotten what she had been so attached to either. This discovery put An Yuan'er at ease.
It turns out that he was still thinking of her, just in a different way than before.
Yi Chenli once said that he didn't like candy because even its sweetness couldn't ease the bitterness in his heart. But later, he changed his mind, saying that round and chubby was sweeter than candy. He could do without candy, but he wouldn't do without round and chubby.
As long as they still cherish each other in their hearts, that's enough. An Yuan'er is a content girl.
The candy wrapper in her hand was a little bigger than a normal candy wrapper, and An Yuan'er suddenly had a brilliant idea.
She began to unleash her creativity, folding the candy wrappers in her hand and taking out her paintbrush.
Through repeated folding, drawing, and refining, An Yuan'er transformed the original candy wrapper into a small animal—a wolf with bared teeth and claws.
Although the wolf was made of paper and not very exquisite, An Yuan'er still loved it.
She placed the little wolf on the headboard of her bed and blew out the oil lamp in front of her bed.
In the darkness, the girl said to the little wolf, "Goodnight, Ali."
Then, it's time for sweet dreams.

After An Yuan'er took the medicine and her mood improved, her illness recovered very quickly in just a few days.
When the people in the manor heard that she had recovered from her illness and was back to her lively self, they could hardly believe their eyes.
"It's really weird. Just a few days ago she was half-dead, but did you see her today? She's actually swinging on the swing in the yard!"
Anxia said indignantly, "Who knows! But this is really not good news."
“Sister, don’t worry. So what if she gets better? We haven’t seen her in the An family for so many years. I don’t believe that she’ll be in charge of the An family just because she comes back. As long as we sisters are united, what does it matter if she’s a county princess?” An Mo’er said.
The illegitimate daughters all looked at An Piao'er and said in unison, "We sisters will follow Sister Piao'er's lead. We hope that you will be kind to us and help us more in the future."
