Under her insistence, I took her to my ‘home’. Arriving at the palace, she was not dazzled by its splendor, nor did she fear it. She calmly settled in and treated me like her servant. For some reason, I was happy as long as she was.
Just as I decided to protect her, the Celestial Master told me that Xiaohan was my destined person…

Mother said I was the only child in the palace and the only crown prince. She said the day I was born, the palace was in chaos…
Yes, I grew up in the care of palace people. Due to my father’s weak health, he had no heir until I came along.
Perhaps due to genetic reasons, I was always weak and often bedridden, which greatly worried my parents. At six, my father arranged for a female doctor two years older than me to take care of my daily diet. Her name was Luo Yan.
Luo Yan was beautiful with clear eyes, fair skin, and a kind smile. She was patient, kind, and meticulous. Whenever I threw a tantrum, she soothed me and offered me pastries.
To avoid worrying Luo Yan, I went to bed early and secretly exercised in the forest at dawn. I ate on time even without appetite. Under her care, my health gradually improved, though I still fell ill frequently.
Whenever I was sick, Luo Yan would stay by my side, often not sleeping for a day and night. To help me recover quickly, I obediently drank the bitter medicines that made me want to cry.
Knowing I was afraid of thunder, Luo Yan would keep watch by my bed during rainy seasons, afraid I’d be startled awake. Gradually, I realized I couldn’t live without her and would do anything for her.
Qinglin warned me not to fall in love with Luo Yan, but I couldn’t help it—I fell in love with her. My father introduced me to beautiful noble young ladies, but I didn’t like any of them.
I felt that none of them could compare to Luo Yan, neither in beauty nor in any other aspect; they were completely outmatched.
