His fingertips stroked her slightly cold lips, and he recalled her stubborn look on the day she asked to leave the palace.
"I know that if I force you to stay in the palace, you will hate me."
If Qi Yan had not died on the battlefield, Sheng Xiyan would not have entered the palace, and they rarely had any interactions.
He shouldn't have used the kindness he showed in helping her out of trouble to tie her down for life.
Even if you are unwilling, how can you force love?
