*A gentle yet resilient beauty × A self-loathing, broken little dog. Mutual redemption.
The Eldest Princess Xue Yunyi possessed skin as pale as snow and a beauty reminiscent of blooming flowers. Wise and kind-hearted, she was nevertheless unloved by the Emperor and schemed against by the envious Second Princess. Her legs were crippled, leaving her bound to a wheelchair for the rest of her days.
The once proud and ethereal beauty was now confined within the towering palace walls.
Xue Yunyi’s heart turned cold and ashen.
That was, until the day she entered the Second Princess’s bedchamber and laid eyes on the blood-soaked youth who had been tortured nearly to the point of ruin.
The bed curtains hung half-open. The youth knelt agonizingly on the bed, clearly at the end of his endurance, yet he bit his lip in silence, refusing to let out even the slightest sound.
At the sound of the wheelchair rolling over the threshold, he lifted his gaze in terror. A pair of eyes like shattered jade trembled as they met Xue Yunyi’s cool, detached stare.
Later on, Xue Yunyi reflected—
She and Wu Lang were alike: people no one had chosen.
If she was fated never to stand again in this lifetime, then at the very least, she would help this boy—abused to the brink of losing his humanity—rise to his feet and walk all the roads she could not.
—
“Being loved will regrow lush flesh and blood.”
“She will. And so will her little dog.”
